About this app

Help your child stay focused on their surroundings while walking or moving.

WalkBlock is a parental-control app for Android that automatically blocks selected distracting apps when movement is detected. Parents choose which apps are restricted and which essential apps remain available.

Unlike traditional screen-time limits, WalkBlock responds to movement. It helps reduce distracted phone use at the moments when children should pay more attention to the world around them.

How WalkBlock works

Install WalkBlock on your child’s Android device.
Select the apps that should be restricted.
Choose essential apps that must remain available.
Protect the settings with a parent PIN.
WalkBlock displays a blocking screen when configured movement conditions are detected.

App blocker for kids

WalkBlock can help prevent access to distracting apps while your child is walking or moving. Parents decide which apps should be restricted, including social media, games, video apps and other distractions.

Keep essential apps available

Not every app should be blocked. You can allow access to important apps such as:

• Phone and emergency calls
• Maps and navigation
• Public transport apps
• Payment apps
• Messaging apps selected by the parent
• Other essential tools

Parent-controlled settings

Protected settings can be secured with a parent PIN, helping prevent children from changing the app configuration without permission.

Movement-based protection

WalkBlock uses device movement detection to activate its blocking screen according to the configured settings. Protection is based on movement rather than a fixed daily screen-time limit.

Privacy without GPS tracking

WalkBlock does not require GPS location tracking or a family location map to provide its core movement-based blocking functionality.

The app is designed to focus on safer phone use without continuously tracking where your child goes.

Schedules and flexible configuration

Parents can configure when protection should be active and adapt WalkBlock to the child’s routine.

Use schedules for situations such as:

• Walking to and from school
• Outdoor activities
• Daily travel
• Other times when phone distractions should be limited

Activity information

WalkBlock can provide information about when blocking protection was activated, helping parents understand how the configured rules are being used.

Why parents choose WalkBlock

• Automatically blocks selected apps while moving
• Designed specifically for children and families
• Parent PIN protects important settings
• Essential apps can remain available
• No GPS-based family tracking required
• Complements existing screen-time rules
• Simple Android setup and configuration

Important safety information

WalkBlock is a digital safety aid. It cannot guarantee that a child will pay attention to traffic, road conditions or other hazards.

Parents should teach children safe pedestrian behaviour, review the app configuration and ensure that emergency and essential apps remain accessible.

Movement detection can vary depending on the device, Android version, sensor behaviour and configuration. Parents should test WalkBlock on the child’s device before relying on it during everyday use.

WalkBlock requires certain Android permissions to detect relevant activity and display its blocking screen. The app explains why each permission is needed during setup.

Start using WalkBlock to help reduce distracting phone use and encourage safer digital habits while your child is on the move.
