AppBlock
App and website blocker with schedules and a strict mode
What is AppBlock?
AppBlock blocks distracting apps, websites, specific URLs and keywords on Android and iOS, with browser extensions for desktop. Blocks can start instantly or run automatically on schedules tied to time, day, location or Wi-Fi network, and Strict Mode makes them harder to bypass. The free plan works within limits that differ by platform, and Premium removes them.
AppBlock has a free plan. Paid plans start at $2.50 / month, billed yearly ($29.99). See every plan
