Short description

Blob turns time away from your iPhone into progress for a companion and a little world you make your own. Choose a creature, watch it evolve, and collect discoveries for its home. Protect a distracting app and solve a math challenge for temporary access, or leave it blocked. The free plan includes one protected app, unlimited math gates, one complete companion world, and basic insights.

Full description

Blob brings two ideas together: a reason to put your phone down, and a pause when you reach for it again. Phone-free time during waking hours earns XP for a companion. Keeping selected apps protected earns a separate bonus. Growth pauses during your chosen sleep hours.

Companions evolve through 30 levels. Four paths—Woodland, Celestial, Tidal, and Ember—have their own creatures and surroundings. Choose gardening, foraging, or collecting; discover keepsakes and arrange your companion’s home. The free plan includes one complete world, with additional worlds available through Pro.

When you want temporary access to a protected app, solve a math challenge or choose to walk away. The free plan protects one app and includes unlimited math gates. Pro adds unlimited protected apps, schedules, additional worlds, detailed insights, and 2× XP compared with Free. Home Screen widgets keep your companion close, and an optional Minimal mode offers a simpler dashboard.

Phone-free growth requires Screen Time access and updates when Screen Time data is available. Estimates are labeled in the app.

Trying Blob

Install from the App Store and choose the free plan. Allow Screen Time access, choose one app to protect, and try opening that app. Return after time away to see progress as Screen Time data becomes available.

The demo illustrates the interface; it does not show the physical-device Screen Time handoff. First released June 24, 2026. This kit covers iPhone; Android features and offers may differ.
