AppBlockr is a simple, no-nonsense app blocker. Pick the apps that pull you in, set a timer, and they stay locked until time runs out. That's it. No account, no setup, nothing leaves your device. When you need to focus, study, sleep, or just put the phone down, AppBlockr puts a wall between you and the apps you lose hours to. Choose how long. Start the block. The apps you picked are sealed off until the timer ends. WHY APPBLOCKR Works entirely on your device. No sign-up, no account, no servers. Your app choices never leave your phone. You're in control. Block for 5 minutes or an hour — you set the duration every time. A real wall, not a gentle nudge. Blocked apps stay blocked for the full session. Free to use. Optional rewarded ads let you end a block early if you really need to. Clean and focused. One job, done well. HOW IT WORKS Choose the apps you want to block. Set how long you want them locked. Start the block — and get your focus back. AppBlockr uses Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls to block apps. Your selections are stored only on your device and are never shared.
