Mom Clock is a strict alarm and app-blocking tool for iOS and Chrome that enforces routines by eliminating snooze, dismissal, and negotiation.
What is Mom Clock?
Mom Clock is a productivity app combining strict, non-negotiable alarms with app and website blocking to force action when willpower fails. It takes your scheduled tasks and distraction sources as input and produces locked-down focus sessions as output. Available as an iOS app and Chrome extension, it is made by the team behind momclock.com. No snooze, no “just five more minutes,” no pretending.
