You opened your phone for something else, then found yourself scrolling social media. App Blocker Schedule helps you build a healthier relationship with your phone in two ways: • See what you need to do before you unlock • Prevent apps restricted for the current time period from opening after you unlock Restrict distracting apps so you can use the app you meant to open. Create flexible time periods for digital detox, bedtime, morning preparation, and more. App Blocker Schedule combines a Lock Screen plan with automatic app blocking by time of day. Divide your day into periods such as morning, commute, work, evening, and bedtime. For each period, choose what to show, which apps you want to use, and which apps or categories you want to restrict. When the time period changes, your app restrictions change with it. Block social media during work, video apps at night, or games during sleep. Build a healthier phone routine without relying on willpower every time.
