New: Pomodoro mode, scheduled blocks & achievement badges. The strictest iOS app blocker just got smarter. Free to try.
Every other app blocker can be overridden. StrictBlock cannot.
Block any app and it's literally gone until your session ends. No delays. No override button. No way out.
Built for people who made a commitment and just need the temptation removed.
HOW IT WORKS
Pick any apps, set a session, and they disappear. The only exit is a 3-second emergency override that logs the failure in your stats. Your streak breaks. You'll see it.
FEATURES
- Session blocking: any app vanishes instantly for the duration
- Scheduled blocks: auto-block every morning, during work hours, or any custom window
- Pomodoro mode: automatic work/break cycles with app control
- Task intentions: write what you're doing before you start
- Stats and streaks: daily streak, total focus minutes, full session history
- Achievement badges: milestones as you hit focus goals
- Weekly report (Pro): sessions, best day, week-over-week trend
- 13 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, and more
THE DIFFERENCE
Most blockers add a 1-second pause. You can still open the app. StrictBlock removes the option entirely. The people who download this don't want a nudge. They want the temptation gone.
PRICING
Free to start. Upgrade to Pro for scheduled blocking, Pomodoro mode, weekly reports, and achievement badges.
