# BlockLock: Focus & App Blocker
Block distracting apps or lock your phone to focus. **BlockLock is a strict focus app and app blocker designed to help you stop negotiating with your phone.**
Choose how strict you want to be, start a session, and let BlockLock keep you focused until it ends.
## THREE WAYS TO FOCUS
### Total Lockdown
Lock your phone for the entire session. Your screen stays locked while important communication remains available.
Phone calls, WhatsApp calls and emergency calling still work.
### Allowlist
Choose the apps you need and block everything else.
Keep only your maps, calendar, study app, work tools or other essentials available.
### Blocklist
Choose the apps that distract you most.
Block social media, games, video, shopping and other distractions while keeping the rest of your phone usable.
## WHEN IT STARTS, IT STAYS ON
A focus session can't simply be cancelled halfway through.
Before a session begins, a **5-second countdown** shows the mode, duration and end time. If you changed your mind, you still have a moment to cancel.
Once the countdown ends, the session is committed.
That's the point: **make the decision while you're thinking clearly, not when you're already reaching for your phone.**
## POMODORO FOCUS TIMER
Use BlockLock as a Pomodoro timer and app blocker in one.
Choose your focus length, break length and number of cycles. BlockLock keeps distracting apps blocked during focus periods and lifts the block during breaks.
Choose from presets such as:
* Classic 25/5
* Deep Work 50/10
* Long Focus 90/15
* Custom focus and break lengths
## SCHEDULES THAT RUN THEMSELVES
Create recurring schedules for your focus sessions.
Choose:
* Days
* Start time
* Duration
* Blocking mode
* Apps to block or allow
BlockLock starts the session automatically according to your schedule and reminds you before it begins.
Create different schedules for studying, work, sleep, exercise, digital detox or any other part of your day.
## GIVE YOUR SESSION A REASON
Before starting a session, choose why you're doing it:
**Studying • Deep Work / Focus • Beat Procrastination • Away From My Phone • Sleep • Your Own Reason**
BlockLock can show your reason during the session, helping you remember why you decided to put your phone down.
## SEE YOUR HABITS
BlockLock shows how often you tried to open blocked apps.
See your activity:
* Today
* This week
* All time
* After each session
Your goal isn't to judge yourself. It's to make your habits visible.
## PRIVATE BY DESIGN
**No account. No ads. No analytics. No tracking.**
Your blocked apps, schedules, session history and usage data stay on your phone and aren't transmitted to BlockLock's servers.
BlockLock is built for focus and productivity — **not for watching you.**
## NO ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE
BlockLock doesn't rely on Android's Accessibility Service.
It uses the permissions needed for its individual features, including usage access for detecting the active app, display over other apps for blocking screens, alarms and reminders for schedules, and device administration for Total Lockdown.
If Android or your phone manufacturer stops BlockLock during a session, BlockLock can restart and notify you.
