Blocked Instagram on Screen Time? Then you just tap "Ignore Limit." TezBlock replaces that button with an NFC tag or QR code you stick across the room. No taps. Just walks. You already know the problem. You open Instagram "just to check." You blink and twenty minutes are gone. Screen Time warnings? You tap "Ignore Limit" every time. Your willpower was never the issue — the apps are engineered to win. TezBlock fixes that with friction. Real, physical friction. ▸ NFC TAGS — Stick a cheap NFC sticker on your desk, nightstand, or inside a drawer. Tap your phone to lock distracting apps. Tap again when you're actually done. The physical act creates intentional space between you and your distractions. ▸ QR CODES — No NFC? Print a QR code, stick it somewhere annoying to reach, or save it on a friend's phone. Scan to start. Scan to stop. ▸ TIMERS — Lock yourself out for 25 minutes, 2 hours, or whatever you need. The timer runs in the background. When time's up, you're free. ▸ SCHEDULES — Block apps automatically every weekday 9–5. Or every night after 10. Set it once, forget it. ▸ MANUAL MODE — Just tap Start. Free forever. With a hold-to-confirm friction layer when you try to quit early — because that's exactly when you need it most. WHY TEZBLOCK? Other physical blockers charge $60–$100 for a plastic brick. TezBlock gives you the same idea — physical, intentional, impossible to bypass with a tap — for the price of a coffee. You bring the NFC tags (a few dollars on Amazon); we bring the app. FREE FEATURES • Manual blocking with hold-to-confirm stop friction • Block apps, app categories, and websites • Unlimited profiles (work, study, sleep, gym) • Focus streaks and session history WHY TEZBLOCK?

No tracking. No ads. Core blocking works fully offline — no data leaves your device. The App Privacy section above lists Contact Info, User Content, and Identifiers because of one optional feature: Friends. If you turn Friends on (to share focus stats with people you know), we store your display name and focus sessions so friends can see when you're locked in. Skip Friends and none of that applies. You can delete your Friends account any time in Settings. SUBSCRIPTION INFO TezBlock Pro is an auto-renewable subscription: $2.99/month or $24.99/year. The 7-day free trial converts automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Focus Interval at none against TezBlock's 3. Focus Interval also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). TezBlock's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
