## Description

**blockit** helps you take control of smartphone use by completely blocking distracting apps for a duration you choose. Start focused sessions for studying, working, sleeping, or simply taking a break from your phone. The Suitcase feature lets you allow essential apps such as maps, music, and emergency messaging, while the Parachute provides a limited emergency exit.

Build consistency with automatic routines, focus statistics, a home screen widget, a growing daily Tower, Nothing Phone Glyph integration, and Google account cloud backup. blockit uses Android’s Accessibility Service only to detect the foreground app during an active session and return you to the block screen. Processing happens on-device, with no screen content or personal data collected through the service.
