Seize: App Blocker & Focus

Use your phone with more intention.

Seize helps you pause social media and other apps that pull you into automatic scrolling. Choose which apps to block, spend time on focused activities and unlock access so you can browse without going on autopilot.

You open an app for just a minute. Before you know it, much more time has passed. Seize helps change that habit: the time you spend focusing earns access to the apps you choose.

Choose which apps you want to control. Then study, read, work out, or start a focus activity that fits your day. Productive time becomes a daily access balance based on the ratio you set. You can also choose productive apps so time spent in them is counted automatically.

Time spent in protected apps uses your access balance. When it runs out, Seize blocks the app and shows you how to earn more. That gives each break a clear beginning and end.

With Seize, you can:

- 🔒 Choose which apps to protect and set your access rule.
- ⏱️ Earn time through focus activities and the productive apps you choose.
- 🎯 Set a daily goal and see how much time you've earned.
- 📊 Review your history, understand your habits in Insights, and plan breaks with the focus time calculator.

Make room for what matters. Enjoy your favorite apps with intention and time you've earned.

No account required. Your usage data stays on your device. To track app time and apply blocking on Android, Seize asks for Usage Access and Accessibility permissions.
Seize isn't about never scrolling again. It's about creating a moment between impulse and choice, so you can use your phone in a way that works for you.

To block apps and track usage, Seize needs Usage Access and Accessibility permissions. These let it measure time in selected apps and show the pause screen when you open a blocked app.
