# AppBlock

> App and website blocker with schedules and a strict mode

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.

## Key features

- **App and website blocking:** Block apps, websites, specific URLs and keywords. On Android, Premium can also block newly installed apps and browsers the app does not support.
- **Schedules:** Profiles for work, study or sleep switch on by time, day, location or connected Wi-Fi network and then run automatically.
- **Quick Block:** Starts a block right away without a schedule. Free use is capped at 4 hours on iOS or 3 apps and 3 sites on Android; Premium adds a timer.
- **Strict Mode:** Makes blocks harder to bypass, with a cooldown and approval by another person. The free plan caps it at 12 hours on iOS and 24 hours on Android.
- **Allowlist mode:** A Premium mode that blocks everything except a set of chosen apps, which the vendor describes as a dumbphone-like setup.
- **Browser extensions:** Extensions for Chrome, Edge and Brave block websites and keywords on a computer, with Quick Block and Schedules.

## Good for

- Phone users who want blocks that start by time, place or Wi-Fi network
- People who need a block they cannot easily switch off
- Blocking the same sites on a phone and in a desktop browser

## Worth knowing

- Free limits differ by platform: iOS allows 2 schedules and 12 hours of Strict Mode, Android 3 schedules and 24 hours.
- Allowlist mode, adult content blocking, backup and the Quick Block timer need Premium on both iOS and Android.
- On a computer AppBlock runs only as an extension for Chrome, Edge and Brave; no Mac or Windows app is listed.
- The student discount and business licences are arranged through forms, and neither page states a price.
