## What is AppBlock Screen Time Control?

AppBlock is a simple app blocker for real screen time control. Block apps by schedule, by daily app time limit, by number of opens or by location, and stop scrolling without relying on willpower.

Pick the apps that pull you in, like social media, Reels, short videos or games, then choose how to block them. AppBlock uses Apple's Screen Time system, so a blocked app shows a shield screen when you try to open it.

WAYS TO BLOCK
• Quick Block: start a focus session in one tap. A countdown shows how long is left.
• Schedules: block apps during work, study, dinner or bedtime. Pick the days and the times.
• Daily limits: set how long you can use an app each day. When the time is up, the app is blocked.
• Open limits: allow only a few opens a day. The blocked screen shows how many you have left.
• Location blocking: block apps when you are at school, the library or the office, or when you are away from a place you choose.

SEE YOUR SCREEN TIME
Guess your daily screen time, then see the real number. Insights show your screen time and your most used apps each day for free. Weekly and monthly views come with Premium.

MADE FOR REAL LIFE
• Stop doomscrolling at night
• Study or work without your phone pulling you away, with an app blocker that stays on
• Keep dinner and family time phone free
• Switch off work apps when you get home

PRIVACY
The apps you pick stay private. Apple's Screen Time system keeps your list hidden from us, and your schedules and limits are stored on your device.

11 LANGUAGES
English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), German, French, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese.
