What exactly is bloc?

A compact NFC device with a magnetic back, paired with a free iOS app. You choose which apps to block, stick bloc to your fridge, and whenever you want to unblock them, you walk to the fridge and tap your phone. That physical friction breaks the autopilot scroll.

What if I need my phone in an emergency?

bloc only blocks the apps you choose. Calls, messages, maps, and any essential apps you need always stay accessible. You are in full control of what gets blocked.

Does it work on Android?

Currently iOS only (iOS 16.2+). Android support is coming soon.

Do I need a subscription?

No. It is a one-time purchase. The app is free forever. No hidden fees, no monthly charges.

The bloc device (a compact device with a magnetic back and built-in NFC) and a quick start guide. Download the free app, pair in under a minute, and you are ready.

What if it does not work for me?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If bloc is not helping you cut screen time, just reach out and we will refund you. No questions asked.

How we built this

bloc wasn't built from assumptions. Before writing code, we spent weeks talking to real people. Working professionals, parents, students. To understand exactly why screen time apps fail. The answer surprised us: it's not willpower. It's the Ignore button.
