Comparison
Warden vs Jomo
A well-designed iPhone and Mac blocker with schedules, session limits, and a strict mode that makes changes harder to make in the moment.
What Jomo does better
Start with the honest part.
These are real advantages and several of them Warden has no answer to. If one of them is what you need, buy theirs.
- Very good design and a pleasant thing to use daily
- iPhone and Mac together
- Flexible rules, and a generous free tier
- Strict mode adds real friction to loosening a rule
The difference
One decision, moved.
Strict mode is a delay you set for yourself, which means it is a delay you can plan around. It buys minutes; it does not change who is deciding.

| Cost | Free to try | Free tier, paid plans |
Choose Jomo if
You want a polished blocker on both iPhone and Mac and you are happy being the one who holds the rules.
Choose Warden if
Delays have stopped working on you, because you have learned to wait them out.
