Bloquit vs DoomStop

Put your distractions behind a physical barrier. Bloquit is the app blocker that uses a real NFC tag to keep you away from distracting apps. Place the tag in another room, leave it at home, or hide it in your bag — and until you physically walk to it and tap your phone, you stay focused. This isn't just another timer or willpower test. The physical friction is the feature. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps that distract you most 2. Confirm your block — Bloquit locks them away 3. To unblock, walk to your Bloquit tag and tap your phone 4. Distance becomes your defence. KEY FEATURES • App & category blocking — block individual apps or entire categories at once • Multiple profiles — create separate sets for work, study, sleep and more • Flexible durations — 15 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours, custom, or until you choose to unblock • Screen Time integration — built on Apple's native Screen Time • While blocked, app deletion is disabled — no workarounds • Emergency unblock — a one-time escape if you ever lose your tag • Privacy-first — your data is never tracked or stored THE BLOQUIT TAG CHANGES EVERYTHING. Anyone can dismiss a pop-up. But walking across the house to tap a tag? That takes real intention — and that pause is often all you need. Order your tag at bloquit.com, or tap the link inside the app. Download Bloquit and take back your focus.

DoomStop is a free app that helps you break the doom-scrolling habit by making you physically earn access to distracting apps. Choose which apps to block, then set up your unlock method. Register an NFC tag and place it somewhere intentional — your gym bag, bookshelf, or desk at work. Tap it with your phone when you're back and ready. Or set a schedule to automatically lock and unlock apps at set times, no tag needed. How it works — Create a group of apps you want to block — Register an NFC tag or set a schedule — Lock the group when you want to focus — Tap your tag to unlock, or let your schedule do it Why DoomStop? Most screen time apps are easy to bypass. DoomStop uses a physical NFC tag as your key — a deliberate, real-world action that breaks the mindless reflex of picking up your phone. The friction is the feature. No account required. No data collected. Everything stays on your device.
