Vuelve blocks the apps and websites eating your day, and sets screen time limits that actually hold. It doesn't ask for willpower — it gives it back.

Its design has been reviewed by a neuroscientist and a psychologist: how the blocks work, how you choose the friction, how your own data is handed back to you. This is not a self-help app with scientific vocabulary painted on top.

BLOCKS THAT HOLD
• Block specific apps and websites, one by one.
• Schedules: decide when each block kicks in — mornings, work hours, nights, weekends.
• Time limits: 20 minutes of social media a day, then it's done.
• Content filter: adult site blocking with a built-in domain list.

YOU DECIDE HOW HARD IT IS TO BYPASS
This is where Vuelve differs from every other blocker. You choose the friction: from a simple confirmation to obstacles that force you to stop and actually decide. You set the bar while you're clear-headed, not in the middle of the craving.

BUNKER MODE
A focus session you cannot leave until it ends. For when you need real depth and you already know you're going to waver.

NEURO: YOUR DATA, NO GUILT
Vuelve shows you the balance between the time you invest and the time that slips away, your weekly streak, and what's actually changing. Data to act on, not charts to feel bad about.

WHAT VUELVE DOESN'T DO
• No account, no sign-up.
• No ads.
• No analytics, no trackers.
• No servers. There is nowhere for your data to go, because it never leaves your phone.

ABOUT THE ACCESSIBILITY PERMISSION
Vuelve uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect which app or web page is open right now, so it can block it. That is all it looks at. It does not read, store or transmit your screen content, your messages or your passwords. Everything happens on the phone. You can revoke it at any time from Android settings.

Vuelve doesn't promise to cure anything. It just hands the decision back to you. ## Rankings - #1,950,854 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS` - `android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `android.permission.health.READ_EXERCISE` - `android.permission.health.READ_STEPS` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.rivas.vuelve.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Reclaim: App Blocker & Focus](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.reclaimyourfocus) — 3,542 users - [Unscroll: Focus & App Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.unscroll.mobile) — 66 users - [Block Apps & Focus - AppBlockr](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cbappstudio.appblockr) — 62 users - [Applimits: App Blocker & Focus](https://chrome-stats.com/d/butterfalcon.applimit) — 551 users - [Detox: Block Apps & Focus](https://chrome-stats.com/d/ai.detoxapp.android) — 2,650 users - [Bounded Focus: App Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dedaldev.bounded) — 52 users - [FocusTime: Focus & App Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.curioinnominds.focustime) — 7,062 users - [App Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.genzopia.addiction) — 2,648 users - [FocusMe: Block Apps Screentime](https://chrome-stats.com/d/uz.focusguardian.app) — 34 users - [Breaktime: Focus App Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.breaktimeapp.breaktime) — 538 users - [Appkage : Monitor & Block apps](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.microapplab.appkage) — 64 users - [ScreenDeath: App Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.aklabz.screendeath) — 2 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.rivas.vuelve)
