Digital Detox: App Blocker

About Digital Detox: App Blocker

Take back your attention with Digital Detox, an app blocker and focus timer built for distraction-free work, study, and intentional phone use.

Choose the apps that can wait, start a focus session, and keep your attention on what matters until the timer ends. Digital Detox helps you create a calmer phone environment with simple focus sessions and app blocking.

BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS

Select installed apps you want to avoid during focus sessions. When a focus session is active, Digital Detox uses Android's AccessibilityService API to detect attempts to open apps you selected for blocking and enforce your active focus block.

Keep social, entertainment, shopping, games, or other distracting apps out of the way while you focus.

START FOCUS SESSIONS FAST

Choose from quick-start focus durations and begin a session in seconds. See your remaining time clearly while app blocking stays active.

FOCUS PROFILES FOR DIFFERENT MOMENTS

Switch between Work, Study, and Sleep focus profiles so your selected distracting apps can match what you are trying to do.

STAY IN CONTROL

During an active session, see how many apps are protected. If you genuinely need access, use the emergency pause or end the session early.

REVIEW YOUR FOCUS HISTORY

See completed and early-ended sessions, total focus time, session count, your best focus day, and your most-used focus profile.

Review your history to better understand your routine and build more consistent focus habits over time.

USE DIGITAL DETOX FOR:

• Deep work and distraction-free productivity
• Focused study sessions
• Reducing impulsive app checking
• Building healthier digital habits
• Creating calmer phone use before sleep
• Staying present during important tasks

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE

Digital Detox uses the Android AccessibilityService API as part of its app-blocking functionality.

During an active focus session, the AccessibilityService is used to detect when you attempt to open an app that you previously selected for blocking. This allows Digital Detox to enforce your selected app blocks while the focus session is active.

The AccessibilityService is used only for this user-enabled app-blocking functionality.

Digital Detox keeps the experience simple: choose what to block, start your focus timer, and give your attention room to stay where you want it.
