About Resist: App Blocker & Limits
Resist is an app blocker and screen time tracker that helps you stop doomscrolling, limit app usage and take back control of your phone, without deleting the apps you enjoy.
Pick your distracting apps, set app time limits that fit your day, and add a calm pause between the impulse to open an app and actually scrolling. Use it to reduce screen time, stay focused on study or work, sleep better, or start a digital detox.
BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS
Block social media, short videos, games, shopping or any installed app you want to use less. When a rule is active, Resist shows a clear block screen over the app so you don't slip back into scrolling.
APP TIME LIMITS AND CUSTOM RULES
Build app blocking rules around your habits:
- Daily time limit for each app
- Open limit: cap how many times an app can be opened per day
- Scheduled blocking for work, study, bedtime or weekends
- Session limits with a cooldown break afterwards
- Opening delay to interrupt automatic phone checking
- Grace period when you really need a few more minutes
PAUSE BEFORE YOU SCROLL
Hard lockouts are not the only way. Resist adds mindful friction: a short breathing pause before an app opens, a delay you have to wait through, or a cooldown between sessions. That small gap is often enough to break the habit loop of mindless scrolling.
SCREEN TIME TRACKER AND USAGE STATS
See where your time actually goes, today, this week and this month:
- Total screen time
- Most used apps
- App opens and sessions
- Hourly and daily usage patterns
- Limits reached and apps blocked
DAILY SCREEN TIME GOAL
Set a daily phone limit and follow your progress through the day. With Resist Pro, Strict Mode can block nonessential apps once your daily screen time limit is reached.
WHO RESIST IS FOR
- Students who want to focus while studying and stop phone distractions
- Professionals who need deep work and fewer interruptions
- Creators who want to stop endless scrolling between tasks
- Anyone fighting phone addiction or social media addiction
- Anyone who wants better sleep and less late-night screen time
- Anyone building healthier digital habits and better digital wellbeing
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Resist collects no data and shares no data with third parties. Your app usage stays on your phone.
PERMISSIONS
Resist uses Usage Access to measure app activity and screen time, and Display over other apps to show block and pause screens. Notification permission keeps protection status visible. These permissions are used only for core blocking and tracking features.
Try Resist, the app blocker that helps you stop doomscrolling and focus on what matters.
Choose your distractions. Set your limits. Get your time back.
