Our verdict: Forth is the better pick if you want more than a website blocker. Forth blocks the apps and sites you choose through Screen Time, and when an urge hits it gives you a short visual game based on craving research, plus a plan and progress that a slip doesn’t erase. Quit PMO suits you better if a Safari blocker with an AI chat buddy is all you want.
We make Forth, so we’re biased, but every fact about Quit PMO here comes from its own App Store listing and website. If something is out of date, tell us and we’ll fix it.
Why Forth comes out ahead
Blocks the apps you choose too
Forth’s Screen Time blocker covers the apps you pick as well as websites, with night schedules and 30-minute breaks.
It helps in the moment, not just after
When an urge hits, Forth gives you something to do right then: a short visual game where you fit shapes, match patterns or rebuild a painting. The idea comes from craving research: in a 2015 study, three minutes of Tetris made cravings about 14 points weaker on a 0–100 scale, including cravings for sex.
A slip doesn’t wipe you out
Finished Resets grow a world you keep, and a setback doesn’t take any of it away. Streak counters, by design, start over at zero.
