With Blok, you can: - Block distracting apps, websites, and categories - Use a product barcode or Blok Card as your physical key - Create focus modes for work, sleep, study, or personal time - Schedule automatic Blok sessions - Take limited breaks without fully giving up - Combine modes for stricter blocking - Track your Blok streak and time Blok'd - Add friends and compare progress in Blok World - See Blok'd status on your Lock Screen with Live Activities Blok is built for people who want a real-world way to reduce doomscrolling, social media overuse, and phone addiction.

Take back your time — for free. Blok blocks your most distracting apps and websites with real, physical friction. Start a focus session with one tap, and the apps you choose stay locked until you decide to come back. There's no "Ignore Limit" button — that's the whole point. The entire app is free. All you need is a cheap NFC tag — any NTAG215 sticker or card, about $1. Tap it to lock, tap again to unlock. HOW IT WORKS • Build a Mode — a named set of apps and sites to block (Deep Work, Sleep, Study…). • Tap to focus — your apps are shielded instantly. • Reclaim your time — watch how much life you're winning back, growing every session. WHY BLOK • Free — every Mode, the reclaimed-time dashboard, streaks, strict mode. No subscription, no ads. • Reclaimed-time dashboard — see your saved hours add up, plus a projection of the days you'll reclaim this year. • Reliable by design — Blok re-checks and re-applies your blocks so they never silently stop working. • Focus timer (Pomodoro) — time-box your focus and auto-unblock when you're done. • Streaks & levels — stay consistent and level up. • Accountability partner — share your reclaimed-time streak with a friend (optional). • Strict Mode — for when you really mean it. BRING YOUR OWN TAG Blok works with any standard NFC tag — no proprietary hardware, no lock-in. Grab an NTAG215 sticker or card for about $1. (A beautifully made Blok puck is coming soon, for anyone who wants a dedicated object — always optional.) PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST Blok measures your time, never your content. We never see which apps you block, what you browse, or where you are — your selections stay sealed on your device inside Apple's Screen Time. Read our plain-English promise at getblok.app/privacy. Reclaim your time. Lock in. Free.
