Life changing

This is the best app out there. Partially because it’s a free version of what’s works well. Donate to the creator. He deserves it.

No faults

I’ve been using this app since the start of the year (2026) and it’s 100% the best app blocker I’ve found! The only app blocker I haven’t ended up deleting. It’s super simple and easy to use and I love that there are different options for how to block/unblock the apps or have breaks so using it I feel like I am still in control and being supported rather than feeling like I am being forced to stay away from my apps or made to feel guilty for unlocking an app. I used to struggle to fall asleep and would pick up my phone and scroll constantly all night but after 9 months with this app locking me out during the night I don’t even think about my phone while falling asleep or if I wake up during the night. I always recommend this to people!!

Constant problems

The application functions reliably for only one to two weeks before ceasing operation, and QR code compatibility is inconsistent. Although I previously found the app highly satisfactory, these recurring issues have diminished its utility.

FAQ

What does Foqos do?

Foqos helps you create a distraction-free environment by allowing you to block specific apps on your phone. You can set up custom blocking profiles for different activities like studying or working, and activate them instantly using NFC tags or QR codes.

How do I use Foqos to block apps?

You can associate NFC tags or QR codes with specific sets of apps you want to block. When you need to focus, simply tap your phone on an NFC tag or scan a QR code. This will instantly block the chosen distracting apps, allowing you to concentrate on your task.

Is Foqos free to use?

The application is free to download and use, with options for in-app purchases. These purchases likely unlock additional features or customization options beyond the core blocking functionality.

What are the use cases for Foqos?

Foqos is ideal for situations where you need to minimize phone distractions. This includes studying at your desk, deep work at the office, reading and writing, or any other time you want to focus without interruptions from social media, games, or email.

Can I customize which apps are blocked?

Yes, you have complete control over which apps are blocked. For each NFC tag or QR code you set up, you can precisely choose the specific apps that will be blocked when activated. This allows for highly personalized focus sessions.
