The all-new AppBlock is a mobile app that lets you block annoying apps & websites, bringing down your screen time and helping you focus on more important things. We make full use of the Screen Time API on iOS 16 for a pleasant user experience.
Hello everyone,
it is my great honor to introduce you to the brand new AppBlock for iOS.
The all-new AppBlock is bringing completely revolutionary app-blocking capabilities to iOS 16 users, giving them control over their free time. Thanks to the new use of the Screen Time API, AppBlock puts a previously unseen ability to control app usage in the hands of the user, helping to get rid of phone dependency, improve the ability to focus and improve overall digital well-being.
What is new in AppBlock for iOS 16?
1️⃣ A more efficient way to block apps with the Screen Time API
2️⃣ Ability to select entire categories of apps
3️⃣ Improved user experience
4️⃣ New blocking screen and usage statistics
1️⃣ A new way to block selected apps
Without the Screen Time API, we had to block apps from connecting to the internet so they remained accessible to the user. With access to the Screen Time API, AppBlock can now block entire applications that the user chooses. At predefined times or locations, the user will not be able to access the pre-selected apps.
2️⃣ More precise selection of blocked apps and categories
The new AppBlock will recognise all the apps on the phone and categorise them. With one click, you can block all apps in the social networking or games category, for example.
3️⃣ Faster access to key features
Based on user research, we've redesigned the user interface to make the app smoother to use. All key features such as Quick Block or Scheduled blocking are now immediately accessible when you open the app.
4️⃣ Advanced smartphone usage statistics
With a direct connection to the Screen Time API, we can use smartphone usage data to open your eyes to the amount of time spent in apps. This feature is already ready and being tested, we are just waiting for consistent data from the Screen Time API. Expected deployment is during this fall.

Thank you very much for your attention! We'd love any feedback, so please let us know!
Thank you.
Hey, everybody.
When we first came up with the idea of an app to help us focus back in 2015, it was hard to imagine that a company like Apple would go out of their way to help us, by making a key API available, to create an app that would be a full-fledged companion for a wide range of people. People with attention deficit disorder, students, parents, and working people write to us saying that AppBlock has changed and sometimes saved their lives!
Thanks to our users, AppBlock has been around for such a long time, and thanks to your great feedbacks, we believe that what we're doing makes a difference. We're happy to be doing something that has a direct and positive impact on so many people.
I'd like to add a big thank you to all of you who have supported our launch here at ProductHunt. As a thank you, I have a free app for a year for the 10 fastest of you!

@vojtech_bruzek Thanks Vojtech, I have to say that the redesign really gave us a hard time as a team. We're really excited about the result and the app as a whole fits perfectly into the iOS environment and is easy to navigate for users who want quick access to key features.
@binay_singh2 Thank you for your support! This is exactly one of the main use cases. We have a lot of positive reviews from people who have a smartphone or social media addiction, and thanks to AppBlock they are able to reclaim their free time.
@binay_singh2 Thanks again! We really appreciate the honest feedback, so here's the free App for a year! 8Y36F4A7ETEYX863X8 hopefully you'll be the fastest 😅 If not, message me on instagram or the AppBlock TikTok 😊
I have been using the great Android version of AppBlock for a long time, now I will be able to recommend this new iOS version to my friends. Great, keep it up!
@michal_feltl Thank you! We're glad that Apple has gone in this direction and given us developers access to such an important API while maintaining maximum data anonymity. Thanks to the new iOS 16, we were able to make AppBlock a full-fledged tool to fight procrastination and increase productivity.
