In a world designed to steal your attention, β€œjust one more minute" easily turns into thirty - Block Me helps you take it back. Block Me was born out of frustration with companies charging outrageous prices for a simple piece of plastic with an NFC tag inside.

Ever. Block me is a simple yet powerful app built on a philosophy of "high-friction" to help you create intentional space away from digital distractions.
