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 is the financial cost of screen time?

At an average hourly rate of ₹300–400 for Indian professionals, 4 hours of daily unproductive screen time costs approximately ₹4,00,000–₹5,00,000 per year in lost productive potential. Our calculator gives you your specific number.

How does screen time affect career and income?

Excessive phone use fragments attention and reduces deep work capacity. Research from UC Irvine shows each smartphone interruption takes an average of 23 minutes to fully recover from cognitively — meaning 10 daily interruptions can cost over 3 hours of productive focus.

Is social media use worth the time cost?

Most users report feeling worse, not better, after unintentional social media sessions. When converted to financial value, the average Indian professional loses ₹30,000–₹50,000 per month in productive potential to compulsive scrolling.

How do I reduce my phone's cost on my productivity?

The most effective method is blocking distracting apps during your peak productivity hours. Unlike software timers (which can be disabled in seconds), bloc creates physical friction — requiring a deliberate walk to unlock apps — that preserves your most valuable work hours.
