Stay focused, block distractions and beat cell phone addiction with BlackOut.

Features & Capabilities

BlackOut helps you stay focused by blocking smartphone use during scheduled time windows. Open the app, grant overlay permission, then create up to three free time slots (up to 4 hours each) with start/finish times and selected days. When a slot is active, the phone discourages use until the period ends — repeating daily like an alarm — so you can study, work, sleep better, or reduce screen time. Premium users get unlimited slots, cross-midnight slots, whitelist controls, and easier call handling.

Ideal for anyone battling phone or screen addiction, students, professionals, or anyone wanting better sleep and fewer distractions. Emergency calls remain possible. Troubleshooting tips: use 24-hour time, disable aggressive battery savers or Doze for reliability, and add BlackOut to any device-protected app lists. For help, contact detox.app.now@gmail.com.

User Reviews

Overall, users praise BlackOut for helping focus and manage time with a simple interface, scheduling, and app whitelisting. However, recurring issues limit reliability: security loopholes allow bypass/uninstall, inconsistent performance across restarts/updates, device compatibility problems on some phones, and interference from power-saving modes. Some users also request emergency call access and device admin for uninstall prevention. Despite flaws, many find it beneficial for concentration and time control.

Pros

Improves focus and time management by blocking distractions.
Easy to use and straightforward to operate.
Block scheduling with customizable times to block.
Whitelist support to exempt certain apps from blocking.

Cons

Lock can be bypassed or uninstalled via settings or notifications, creating a security loophole.
Inconsistent/unstable performance: sometimes works only once or fails after restarts/updates.
Device compatibility issues on some phones (e.g., Realme C21Y) where it doesn’t work.
Power-saving/battery optimization can interfere with the app's operation.
