## What is AppsBlocker?

AppsBlocker helps you break the cycle of compulsive app opening—the automatic, mindless taps that often lead to hours lost on social media and entertainment apps.  

How It Works  
- Set a delay (5 seconds – 2 minutes) for apps you open compulsively  
- Unlock them for a 10-minute session, with the option to extend if needed  
- Apps block again automatically once the session ends or if you don’t unlock within 2 minutes  

Why AppsBlocker is Different  
- Smart session management: apps re-block every 10 minutes by default  
- Compulsive opening prevention: adds friction to unconscious taps  
- Flexible extensions: add more time only when you need it  
- Automatic re-blocking: no need to reset—AppsBlocker handles it for you  
- Native iOS integration: built on Apple’s Screen Time for reliability  

Perfect For Stopping  
- Mindless TikTok scrolling  
- Compulsive Instagram checks  
- Automatic social media opening  
- Background app switching habits  
- Endless scrolling sessions  

Features  
- Customizable delay timers (from 5 seconds up to 2 minutes)  
- One-tap session extensions from the shield interface  
- Clean, distraction-free design  
- All data stays on your device  
- No subscriptions or accounts required  
- Works with any app or app category
