About this app

WakeBlock helps you reduce distractions by blocking access to your phone during selected hours.
Create your own block schedule, keep only the apps you choose available, and unlock intentionally using a QR code or NFC tag.

WakeBlock is built for people who want to stop automatic scrolling, late-night phone use, or reaching for the phone out of habit. Instead of relying only on willpower, you can create a simple routine that makes access more intentional.

What you can do with WakeBlock:

Set the hours when the phone block should be active
Keep selected apps available during block time
Unlock using a WakeBlock QR code
Unlock using a WakeBlock NFC tag
Restore blocking reliably after restart or time change
Use a simple setup focused on everyday routine and self-control

WakeBlock is designed to support focus, better habits, and more mindful phone use. It can be useful in the morning, during work or study, before sleep, or whenever you want fewer distractions.

How it works
You choose the hours when WakeBlock should stay active. During that time, the app keeps the blocking flow visible while still allowing access to selected apps if needed. To unlock, you can use your configured QR code or NFC tag.

Privacy
WakeBlock does not require an account for its core features. Most settings are stored locally on your device, such as your block schedule, allowed apps, selected language, and QR/NFC unlock configuration.

Permissions
WakeBlock may use:

Camera for scanning QR codes
NFC for reading and validating WakeBlock tags
Accessibility Service to keep the blocking flow active during selected hours
Installed apps / package visibility so you can choose which apps remain available
Alarms and boot events to restore schedules reliably after restart or time changes

WakeBlock is made to be practical, simple, and intentional — helping you create a stronger boundary between you and unwanted screen time.
