AppsBlocker helps you break the cycle of compulsive app opening—the automatic, mindless taps that often lead to hours lost on social media and entertainment apps. How It Works - Set a delay (5 seconds – 2 minutes) for apps you open compulsively - Unlock them for a 10-minute session, with the option to extend if needed - Apps block again automatically once the session ends or if you don’t unlock within 2 minutes Why AppsBlocker is Different - Smart session management: apps re-block every 10 minutes by default - Compulsive opening prevention: adds friction to unconscious taps - Flexible extensions: add more time only when you need it - Automatic re-blocking: no need to reset—AppsBlocker handles it for you - Native iOS integration: built on Apple’s Screen Time for reliability Perfect For Stopping - Mindless TikTok scrolling - Compulsive Instagram checks - Automatic social media opening - Background app switching habits - Endless scrolling sessions Features - Customizable delay timers (from 5 seconds up to 2 minutes) - One-tap session extensions from the shield interface - Clean, distraction-free design - All data stays on your device - No subscriptions or accounts required - Works with any app or app category
