Emergency Limit

Some apps are mostly productive, but occasionally lead me down rabbit holes. I would like to block these apps for a few minutes when I notice myself starting down a rabbit hole.

Unfortunately I always have a Hard focus session running, so I can’t start another block now focus session. I also can’t set an app limit, as I only want the blocking to occur when I invoke it.

The solution I have in mind is a temporary app limit. This limit would block an app for a set number of minutes, starting whenever you initiated the limit. Ideally you could kick this off via a shortcut, and you could kick it off even if you already had a hard session running.

Other solutions that I’ve thought of are allowing hard sessions to run concurrently or being able to prioritize sessions. These both feel less intuitive to me than a temporary app limit.
