Here is why BarBlock is the best new app blocker:
Uses physical resistance (barcode scanning), not just software limits
No physical device to buy, unlike other physical blocker apps
No subscriptions, no accounts
Unlimited app blocking
Works fully offline (all data stays on your phone)
BarBlock lets you block other apps on your phone by scanning any random barcode. Once you scan the barcode, BarBlock locks your selected apps. Then, when you wanna unlock the apps, you have to scan that same barcode again.
The added physical resistance of having to go grab and scan a physical object to unblock is great because it gives you a chance to think twice about whether you actually need to access those distracting apps.
