FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is AppBlocker free?
Yes. AppBlocker is free to use. Optional rewarded ads let you end a block early if you really need to.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no account.
Is my data private?
Your app choices and Screen Time data stay on your device. AppBlocker does not send the apps you block or use to any server.
How does AppBlocker block apps?
It uses Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls, so blocking is handled by iOS itself.
Why did Doomscroll Protection kick in late?
iOS controls when apps receive Screen Time events. Low battery, Low Power Mode, or very late hours can delay them. Keep your battery charged and Low Power Mode off for the most reliable protection.
