Halto - App Blocker & Focus

"Halto optionally uses Android's Accessibility Service to improve app-blocking reliability. When enabled, the service detects the name of the foreground app to immediately display the block screen. It does not read screen content, messages, passwords, or personal data, and no data ever leaves your device."

Halto helps you stay focused by blocking distracting apps during timed focus sessions. Open Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok during a session — Halto immediately covers the screen and brings you back on track.
