## What is Boringware Blocker?

Blocker is the fastest way to pause the internet for any device on your home network. One switch per device: flip it off and they're offline, flip it on and they're back. At dinner, homework, or bedtime, block the Apple TV, the iPad, or the game console in one tap from your iPhone or Mac.

WHY BLOCKER
The UniFi app can block clients, but it's buried four screens deep behind menus you don't want to navigate at 9 PM. Blocker is a single screen: your devices, one toggle each. That's it.

HOW IT WORKS
Connect: Blocker talks directly to your UniFi router over your home network with a Local API Key. There's no account and nothing routed through the cloud.
Pick your devices: Add the devices you care about from everything your router has seen. Search by name, MAC, or IP.
Tap to block: Flip the toggle. Blocker manages a single firewall policy on your router, and nothing else is touched.
Tap to restore: Flip it back and they're online again.

FEATURES
- Native iPhone, iPad, and Mac app; buy once, use everywhere
- One switch per device, no digging through router settings
- Shows when a device is limited by other UniFi rules, like scheduled app blocks
- Your device list syncs across your devices via iCloud
- Your API key stays in your Keychain; Blocker never sees your traffic
- No subscriptions, no accounts, no analytics

Blocker needs a UniFi router running UniFi Network 9 or later with the zone-based firewall, and a Local API Key from UniFi OS.
