OFFTIME – THE APP AGAINST APPS Block distracting apps – and make unlocking them take real effort. Hold to block your distracting apps, and unlock them only by scanning a QR code or NFC tag that you keep out of reach. That small physical step creates distance, clarity and focus – before you start scrolling. HOW IT WORKS * Choose the apps and categories that distract you * Hold to start blocking * Keep your QR code or NFC tag out of reach – in the hallway, on a shelf, in another room * Apps stay blocked until you scan the code, wait out the delay or your schedule ends FEATURES - PHYSICAL UNLOCK WITH QR CODE OR NFC Print your QR code or write your own NFC tag right in the app. Moving to unlock stops impulsive scrolling. - UNLOCK WITH A WAIT Prefer no hardware? Set a waiting time before a blocked app can be opened. - PRESETS Save sets of apps and categories for different situations, like work, studying or bedtime. - SCHEDULES Block automatically at set times, on the days you choose. Schedules keep running when the app is closed. Choose Normal or Strict mode, with or without breaks. - TIME LIMITS Set daily limits for apps that eat your time. - LOCKS Define how often and how long a blocked app may be opened. - INSIGHTS See your week at a glance, compare it with the last one, track your streaks and the impulses you prevented. - NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Offtime works without registration. - LANGUAGES English, German, French, Spanish and Dutch. WHY OFFTIME? Most app blockers can be switched off with one tap – exactly when your willpower is lowest. Offtime adds a physical layer. Your unlock key is a printed QR code or an NFC tag that you place out of reach, so lifting the block is a deliberate decision. That makes digital discipline feel effortless.
