StarBlocker
What StarBlocker is
StarBlocker is a paid screen-control service for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, covering up to five devices. It uses AI to assess visible screen content against intentions you set and blocks content that does not fit. Rules can target topics or activities and run continuously, on schedules, at locations, or on named Wi-Fi networks, with up to five conditions per rule. Missions describe the activity, while daily limits are shared across devices and block an activity until midnight when exhausted. The service says it reads on-screen text every ten seconds and uses AI vision when text is insufficient. Habits, streaks, challenges, achievements, nightly check-ins, and a community forum support routines. Up to two accountability partners can receive reports and alerts, and approval may be required to loosen rules. macOS installers require Ventura 13 or later with Apple Silicon; Windows requires version 10 or 11, 64-bit. Phone clients are built but not yet installable through public stores or beta programs. On iPhone, judging applies in Safari, while other apps can only be blocked or time-limited.
