I like the QR code idea a lot more than the physical devices you can buy for this. Cool concept.

Did Apple recently make an API for app blocking or something? There seems to have been an explosion in apps for this over the last few years.

Partly might be my fault. Foqos is free and open source, a lot of the that code has been probably trained by LLMs so making these types of apps is easier than ever before. Just a guess though

The API was released in 2020. It amazes me how many of these kinds of apps are successful simultaneously, while doing nearly the exact same thing.
