OFFTIME: Eliminate the distractions

There are times that we need to focus and eliminate all the distractions that our smart phones provide.
OFFTIME allows you to block your calls, texts and notifications, send auto-replies and restrict access
to distracting apps.

app running which may decrease battery life.

Some people need the monitoring and assistance to focus, some may just be curious about their phone usage.

Unfortunately for iPhone the app costs $2.99, it is free for Android but only certain features work to

unlock all the features there is a charge.
