Eddy: Redirect the Reflex
App blocker that redirects you
About

What's New in Eddy
1.0.1
October 17, 2026
Schedules: Eddy can now turn blocking on automatically. Pick Workday, Evenings, Bedtime, or Weekends, or build a custom schedule. Each one turns off at a set time or stays on until you turn it off yourself. Turning off early still asks for a reason. A cleaner home screen with less scrolling. Eddy now goes dark while blocking is on and stays light while it's off. We also added anonymous product analytics to help improve setup. There's still no account, and your blocked apps, destinations, and anything you type never leave your phone.

FAQ
How does Eddy redirect my app usage?
When you attempt to open an app that Eddy has blocked, it will instead present you with a button to go to a destination you pre-selected. This destination could be another app, a website, or even a physical activity like going for a run.
Can I block specific apps or app categories with Eddy?
Yes, Eddy allows you to block individual applications or entire categories of apps. You can then assign a single destination to cover multiple blocked apps.
Does Eddy track my app usage or personal data?
No, Eddy is designed to be private. It does not require an account, use servers, or track your activity. Your app choices remain private, even from Eddy, thanks to Apple's Screen Time.
