Focus App Blocker

Take back control of your screen time.
Focus App Blocker helps you stay productive by blocking distracting apps at the system level. But here's the twist, instead of harsh restrictions, unlocking requires completing a brief mindful challenge. This small friction transforms impulsive app-checking into intentional access.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Create focus profiles and select apps to block
2. Enable a profile when you need to concentrate
3. Blocked apps become inaccessible system-wide
4. Want to check an app? Complete a quick challenge first
5. Track your progress with detailed statistics
