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?

What is deep work and why does it matter?

Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on cognitively demanding tasks. Cal Newport's research shows deep work capacity is becoming rarer as phone distraction increases — making it more economically valuable. Most knowledge workers now operate in a constant state of shallow, distracted work.

How many focus sessions should I do per day?

Research suggests 3–4 focused work sessions of 90 minutes each is optimal for most people. The first session of the day, when cognitive energy peaks, should be the longest and most demanding. Beyond 4 sessions, quality of output drops significantly.

How do I protect my focus sessions from phone distractions?

The most effective approach is removing your phone from your workspace entirely during focus blocks. If you can't do that, use a physical blocker like bloc to lock all social apps so accessing them requires walking to another room — enough friction to break the automatic check reflex.

When is the best time of day for deep work?

For most people, cognitive performance peaks 2–4 hours after waking, making the morning the best window for deep work. Schedule your most demanding tasks before checking email or social media. Afternoons are better suited to meetings, email, and administrative tasks.
