About this app

TimeFence helps you take control of your screen time by blocking distracting websites at the DNS level — no root required.

🛡️ HOW IT WORKS
TimeFence runs a local VPN on your device that filters DNS requests. When a blocked domain is requested, it's silently redirected to nowhere; other lookups go to your network's DNS server as usual. Filtering happens on your phone, and your browsing is never sent to us.

⏰ SMART SCHEDULING
Create rules that activate automatically based on your schedule:
• Block social media during work hours (9–5)
• Disable gaming sites at bedtime (22:00–07:00)
• Weekend-only restrictions for a digital cleanse
Schedules keep working even when the app is closed.

🎯 BUILT-IN PRESETS
Get started instantly with ready-made blocking profiles:
• Focus Mode — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit and X, whenever you switch it on
• Sleep Mode — social media and news, every night 22:00–08:00
• Work Mode — social media and streaming, weekdays 9:00–18:00
• Weekend Cleanse — social media all weekend
Need focus right now? Start a 25, 50 or 90-minute session.

🔐 AS STRICT AS YOU NEED
Pick a strictness level for each preset:
• Easy — switch it off anytime (with your PIN, if you set one)
• Medium — wait 30 seconds and spend one of your daily emergency passes
• Hard — no way out until the session or time window ends
• Key — scan your physical key: an NFC tag or a printed QR code you can leave in another room

📊 TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
See how many distractions you've blocked, track your streak, and watch your focus time grow.
