AppBlockr
Doomscroll Protection
AppBlockr stops you at the door. Pick the apps that pull you in, set when they should be off limits, and get a wall instead of a feed.
You asked us to keep this one shut right now. Close the app and get on with your day.
AppBlockr is an app blocker that runs entirely on your iPhone. You choose which apps to block and when, and iOS stops them from opening.
It is built for the apps you open without deciding to. The ones you reach for in a queue and put down forty minutes later. Instead of relying on willpower at the moment you are least likely to have any, you make the decision once, ahead of time.
No account. No server. Nothing to sign up for.
Choose the apps that take the most from you. AppBlockr uses Apple's own Screen Time controls to keep them shut.
Set the hours that should stay clear. Work mornings, evenings, whenever the pull is strongest.
The block holds when you are most likely to talk yourself out of it. That is the whole point of setting it in advance.
Your app choices and screen-time data never leave the device. There is no account and no server holding any of it.
Configure once and it runs in the background. No check-ins, no streaks to maintain, no daily reminders.
No subscription and no paywall on the blocking. AppBlockr is supported by ads.
Open AppBlockr and pick the apps you want blocked. Apple's app picker keeps your selection private to your device.
Decide the hours those apps stay shut. Make the call while you are thinking clearly.
Reach for a blocked app during those hours and you get a block screen instead of a feed.
AppBlockr has no accounts, no servers, and no cloud storage. The apps you choose to block and the screen-time data behind the blocking stay on your device.
AppBlockr shows ads, and our ad provider collects advertising identifiers when an ad is shown. You are asked for permission first, and you can decline. That is the only thing that leaves the device.
Download AppBlockr, pick your apps, and set the hours. Free on iOS.
