Last year I launched my free and open source iOS app blocker Foqos. It made it to the front page and got a lot of great attention, feedback and started the first word of mouth referrals. Without you folks, none of this would be possible

Since then I've building and making the app better publicly on X: https://x.com/softwarecuddler

I'm incredibly blown away at the success, what started off as a way to just use some NFC tags around the house to block apps with screentime has now become a life changing habit for 100s of people. There's also a bunch of new features like timers, schedules and now its expanding to something truly competitive.

Not sure where this will land, but appreciate all the love.
