What exactly is bloc?

A small NFC fridge magnet 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.

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 much screen time is too much for children?

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends: no screen time for children under 2 (except video calls), 1 hour per day for ages 2–5, and consistent limits for ages 6+ that prioritise sleep and physical activity. Indian studies show the average child now exceeds these limits by 2–3 hours per day.

How do I reduce my family's screen time?

Create phone-free zones (dining table, bedrooms), set device curfews (all phones off 1 hour before bed), hold weekly family screen time reviews using iOS Screen Time reports, and model the phone behaviour you want your children to have. Children mirror parental phone habits more than any other behaviour.

How does parental screen time affect children?

Research from the American Academy of Pediatrics shows children mirror parental phone behaviour closely. Parents who are frequently on their phones during family time raise children with higher screen time, lower verbal interaction skills, and reduced emotional regulation ability.

How much time do Indian families actually spend together?

With an average of 6–7 hours of daily phone use per adult, families who are home together for 4 hours in the evening may share as little as 30–60 minutes of genuinely screen-free time. Our calculator helps you see your actual number clearly.
