About · who, how and why

Broc is built by Shay Gavan

One independent app for iPhone and Android, built around a blunt idea: distracting apps should stay locked until the habits you care about are done.

Why Broc exists

I built Broc because timers and reminders leave the final decision with the same tired person who wants to scroll. Broc changes the unlock condition: finish a habit, verify it with a timer or photo when you choose, and earn the screen time back.

Broc is available on the App Store and Google Play. I design and maintain the Flutter app, its platform-specific blocking systems, and the guides on this site.

How the guides are produced

Product facts are checked against official app listings and developer documentation. Comparison pages disclose that Broc is our product, explain the comparison criteria, link their sources, and show when the information was last reviewed. Opinions are labelled as opinions; changing facts such as features, platforms, ratings and pricing are dated.

Broc's own claims are checked against current product behaviour and production releases. Guides are updated when the product or cited alternatives materially change.

What Broc is not

Broc is a productivity tool, not medical treatment or parental-control software. It does not claim to cure ADHD, phone addiction or any health condition, and it does not prevent you from uninstalling the app.
