## What is BlockApps?

Do you scroll all day? BlockApps will help you to avoid distractions. On your phone, you can disable apps with just a few touches. Apps that have been blocked cannot be opened, and their notifications will no longer annoy you.

【 EXACT SOLUTION 】 

The simplest method of app blocking. Your pre-selected apps are blocked as soon as you start the Restriction Mode! For a time period you determine.

【 PROGRAM YOUR MODES】 

You can define days or hours when blocking is active using Modes. Would you like to block social media at work? Don't want work apps to disturb you at home. No issue. Create your Mode, select the apps you want to block and set the time frame. That is it!

Do you know the amazing part? NO NEED FOR VPN or Internet Connection!

Try it! Thanks to Modes, it's really convenient to never have to worry about blocking applications again.

【 FREE TO USE 】 

BlockApps is free to use for as long as you like. After purchasing the Premium edition, you can access specific modifications and advanced features.

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2024-08-26*

A good way to stop using you phone when trying to sleep 9/10 do us

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-03-18*

Easy to use, flexible and saved me loads of time

### 5/5 — So perfect

*2023-03-14*

Allows you to make routines with apps of when they are and aren’t blocked perfect for increasing productivity, I wish I could block more apps for free though and set more times for apps to be blocked then just one

### 5/5 — So Helpful and Easy to Use!

*2023-03-06*

In mere minutes, I had everything I needed blocked or unblocked, and I’ve been more productive ever since! My main temptation and distraction has always been fascinating texts from friends and family, and then I feel I have to respond ASAP, even when I have other things going on. Putting my phone aside works great—except when I need my workout app, my alarm app, my work phone app, my food app, and many other things. Now I can still access those without seeing the texts until I’m ready.

### 5/5 — Thanks a lot

*2022-12-11*

Finally done with wasting time on social media
