Why Block?
Most solutions to distraction fall into two extremes: Too easy to swipe away, or too radical to fit real life. Block is neither. It’s a physical commitment to focus, built for people who think sharp, move fast and value their time.
Block creates a physical separation causing real friction to unblock your apps
After you activate Block on your phone, leave your Block at home, in the car or a different room and experience the true magic of having a phone without distractions, so you can focus on what truly matters.
You still have access to the apps you need
Block only blocks the apps you select to Block while all your other apps are still available. In case of a real emergency, you have 5 'emergency Blocks' that allow you to access the app you desperately need access to. Block: Keep the best. Block the rest.
Screentime blocking apps and flip phones don't work
We tried everything. We would use screentime apps and would find a way to still go around the app or just remove the app. We even used an old flip phone with no apps. It worked, up to the moment we wanted to text our friends in WhatsApp or had to wire money.
