Growth ARC is a gamified productivity app for iOS that helps you stay focused.
It uses the secure Screen Time API to connect to your iPhone to get access to blocking your apps.
With focus blocks you create categories of activities, in which you define your weekly goals as well as apps you need during those activites: Work, Training, Education, Balance. These can be easily activated by clicking on them on the dashboard.
You can see how far you are from reaching your goals on the dashboard next to the focus block name or in the progress tab.
You can edit focus blocks by clicking the pen next to “Start Focus Block” on the dashboard.
You can plan your week by creating sessions in the routine tab by clicking on the “+” icon.
With sessions you can add activities that are connected to your focus block to either automatically block apps on the selected times or to receive a reminder to activate it manually.
You can delete or edit sessions by holding on a session.
You level up your character by having focus blocks active. The longer you are blocking your apps, the more points you will receive and therefore level up faster.
The points out of all your focus blocks come together to one main “LVL”, which counts as the Level of the character itself. You will also be leveling up each focus block.
There are 5 stages which you can unlock by reaching certain levels. You will receive more muscle mass as well as aura around your character.
You can unlock streaks by reaching your weekly goals for a focus block.
When reaching streaks you will gain 10-50% bonus points, according to how long you could hold your streak.
Streaks will be displayed on the dashboard.
In the progress tab you can see the progress you did in the current week as well as the current month. (Yearly overview coming soon)
From the progress tab you can also access the settings, where you can invite friends and get to the support page (where you are at right now).
If you notice that apps aren’t being blocked as expected, try the following steps:
Go to the Growth ARC Dashboard > Click on the pen next to “Start focus block” > Select your focus block > Did you select the apps you want to use during the focus block?
Sometimes, a quick restart fixes most issues by refreshing system settings.

If you notice that focus blocks are not running as expected, try the following steps:
Close the app completely and start it again. Notice that just sending it to the background will probably not resolve the issue, you need to swipe it up again when you check the open apps.

No. Growth ARC uses the iPhone native "Screen Time API" from Apple. With this feature we can controll your screen time settings and block your apps in a way that is not possible with Apple Focus Modes.
We do not have access to your app data, it stays on your iPhone.
