App Blockers

Far more effective than the native app limit features on iPhones and Android devices, these 3rd party app-blocking apps make it easier to stick to your habits and intentions — no willpower required!

• Opal: An app blocker that makes it very easy to set up different app-blocking schedules and modes for yourself (for example, you can create a weekday evening schedule, or a “study session” mode, or a morning mode, etc).

• Brick: A little gadget that allows you to block everything on your phone except for the apps you want — a great way to transform your phone from a temptation to a Swiss army knife-like tool.

• Freedom: Another one of my favorites that blocks apps and websites on your phone and your computer.
