About
Return blocks distracting apps on a schedule you choose, helping you cut down on mindless scrolling during work or study.
Need to use an app? Take a brief pause, then allow access for 1, 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes. When the allowance ends, blocking resumes if your rule is still active.
Free to download and use. No in-app purchases, subscriptions, trial period, or account required. Your rules and review records stay on your device.
CHOOSE YOUR APPS AND HOURS
Select apps or categories and set the days and hours when blocking applies. Use your apps normally when no active rule blocks them.
ALLOW ACCESS WHEN YOU NEED IT
When you open a blocked app, take a moment to decide. You can go back or complete a brief pause to allow access for 1, 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes.
BLOCKING RESUMES AFTER YOUR ALLOWANCE
When your allowance ends, blocking resumes if an active rule still applies.
