Apex - Screen Time Control

What it does

Apex is built for people who have tried screen-time apps and still find themselves scrolling. Instead of adding more dashboards, scores, and productivity gamification, Apex focuses on one goal: making focus non-negotiable. With Climb, hardcore app blocking, streaks, and distraction-proof focus sessions, Apex creates real friction between you and addictive apps. No loopholes, no endless settings—just a simpler, stronger way to reclaim your attention and build lasting focus habits.

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
