AppBlock is a simple, user-friendly tool designed to help you focus by temporarily blocking distracting apps and websites. It lets you set up rules and schedules so that interruptions — social media, games, news sites, or any app that pulls your attention away — stop appearing when you need to concentrate. Use predefined profiles for work, study, meetings, or sleep, and switch between them with one tap. Key features include timed blocks and repeating schedules, so you can create daily focus periods without having to think about them. If you need flexibility, AppBlock offers temporary pauses or one-time breaks to let you check something quickly, then return automatically to the blocked state. A timer or Pomodoro-style mode helps structure sessions into focused intervals and short rests. AppBlock also provides simple usage statistics so you can see how much time you spend on blocked apps and whether your habits are improving. Whitelists and exceptions let essential tools remain available while distractions are restricted. For households, parental control options make it easy to set limits for kids’ screen time and app access, with PIN protection to prevent changes during restricted periods. Notifications can be muted during focus times, reducing the urge to open apps. The app is designed to be lightweight and run quietly in the background without draining battery or disrupting other functions. Customizable rules let you block by app, website, or category, and combine conditions like time of day, location, or connected Wi‑Fi to make blocking smarter and more relevant. Overall, AppBlock helps create healthy digital habits by removing easy access to distractions and supporting consistent focus. It’s useful for students, professionals, parents, or anyone who wants a calmer, more productive routine. Simple controls and clear feedback make it easy to start small and build stronger attention habits over time.
