This app protects you from your worst habits :D Make a list of websites to block, set the duration, and then go. It will block those apps without you being able to "turn it off."

Unfortunately, we can't make an iOS apps because of the iOS sandbox restrictions.

Helps you follow the Pomodoro technique to break down your work hours to 25 minutes time slots with a 5 minutes break between. that 5 minutes break gives you motivation to get going! I find the technique very helpful. There are a lot of apps that are implemented based on this technique. This is what I found to be a good one on Mac/iOS.
