Problem

Every ping, ding and buzz takes you out of the moment

  • Stress & Anxiety

    That "quick phone check" is always a waste of time

  • Bad Sleep

    Scrolling in bed at night and in the morning drains you

  • Lack of Focus

    You find it hard to sit down and get things done

What makes Blok different?

It's hard to fight software with software

Screen time apps or limits are too easy to bypass. You always end up hitting "ignore" or "extend". With Blok, you can leave the "key" to your distractions behind, creating a physical barrier to get those distractions back.

Solution

The physical solution to digital distractions

Step 1: Select distracting apps

You know, IG, TikTok, X, etc.

Step 2: Scan Blok

Scan the Blok to lock access to selected apps.

Step 3: Keep Blok far away

The only way to get the distractions back is scanning the Blok again

"I used blok all day today. I left it at home. It felt quite literally like a breath of fresh air knowing I could not, and would not, respond to anything on socials."

This has been helpful with aiding in my ADD tendencies - to the point that I’m actually getting a weekly Substack out now. Highly recommend anyone else who’s addicted to their notifications to give this a try.

Also I’ve noticed a change after Blok in my relationship with my phone. Decreased my screen time but also even when I’m actively bloking, I find myself using my phone for things I’d like to do more: connecting with friends or reading long form.

Working well so far! I think the physical barrier to turning it off is really smart.

This Blok saved me. My productivity has skyrocketed.

This device blocks all distracting apps that I select seamlessly, just through the tap of my phone to the Blok after downloading the app.

Buy it. Trust me. It's so worth it.

Got myself a Blok from @danielbelfort, so expect less tweets from me ;)

Loving blok so far - really helps with productivity. Even the blok being in the backpack is enough resistance!

FAQ

We often get asked...

What happens if I lose my Blok?

It wouldn't be the end of the world.

You would use one of the 3 Emergency Unbloks we give you as freebies when you first download the app.
Once you use them all of them up, you can purchase 1 Emergency Unblock for $4.99 or 3 for $12.99, proceeds from this going to charity.

How is this different from Apple's built-in tools?

Those are just too easy to bypass - you can hit "extend" or "ignore" easily and you're back to your doomscrolling self. The same happens with the other screen-time apps that exist out there. They are just too easy to bypass and don't work.
Which is why we built the alternative.

What happens if in the event of an emergency and I'm blok'd?

You would use one of the 3 Emergency Unbloks we give you as freebies when you first download the app.
Once you use them all of them up, you can purchase 1 Emergency Unblock for $4.99 or 3 for $12.99, proceeds from this going to charity.

Does this work for Android too?

Not yet, but stay tuned.

Can't I just delete the Blok app?

If you're Blok'd, you can't delete the Blok app.
Yes - Apple let's us do this ;).

Does one Blok work for multiple devices?

Yes.

Do you store any of my data?

We don't see what apps you're Bloking for privacy reasons. We can see if you're blok'd or unblok'd.
