What Jomo is
Jomo helps people manage screen time by blocking distracting apps and supporting focus on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Blocks can start at set times, after a usage limit, or remain in place until the user takes an action. Strict Mode can prevent rules from being deleted or bypassed. Unlock choices include waiting, giving a reason, entering a password, scanning a QR code, or completing an AI proof. On Mac, Jomo can block apps, keywords, and websites, with wildcard rules for specific pages. Journaling provides a way to reflect on sessions and notice usage patterns. The maker lists Apple Health Integration, and rules can sync with Focus Filters across iPhone and Mac. Jomo says app usage stays on the user's phone and is not sold to advertisers. The Free Plan is free and includes one session, one action or limit, and one Screen Time Budget. A three-day trial is listed; paid options include $14.99 a year for Student, $29.99 a year for Annual, and $99.99, paid once for Single Purchase.
