BlockShield uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect which app or website is open in the foreground. This is the only reliable method to block apps and websites without requiring root access. The service only reads the current app name and browser address bar URL , it does not access your messages, photos, contacts, files, passwords, or any other personal data. All processing happens entirely on your device and nothing is ever transmitted to external servers.

Whether you want to block social media, stop doomscrolling, or build better self control, BlockShield gives you the tools to take back your time.

🛡️ APP BLOCKER
Block any app on your phone with one tap: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, or any app that steals your focus. Set schedules so apps are automatically blocked during work, study, or sleep hours. Use Focus Mode to start a distraction-free session and lock yourself out until you're done.

🌐 WEBSITE BLOCKER
Block websites in any browser: Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet, and more. Add entire domains or specific URLs to your block list. Block Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other infinite-scroll traps that keep you doomscrolling.

🔑 KEYWORD BLOCKER
Automatically block any website containing specific keywords: block entire categories at once (social media, news, adult content) without listing every URL manually.

⏱️ SCHEDULES & FOCUS SESSIONS
Set recurring daily schedules (block Instagram every weekday 9AM-5PM). Start a Focus Session to block all distractions for a set time with a countdown timer: perfect for deep work, studying, or a digital detox.

📊 SCREEN TIME TRACKER
See exactly how much screen time you spend on each app every day. Awareness is the first step to breaking phone addiction. Track usage trends and understand your habits.

🔒 STRICT BLOCKER MODE
Protect your block list with a PIN so you can't undo your own rules in a weak moment. BlockShield's strict mode makes it impossible to cheat - exactly what you need if you're serious about self control.
