How to use Strict Mode on Android

Strict Mode acts like a digital “policeman”, ensuring that your Schedules and QuickBlock settings can’t be bypassed. To use Strict Mode, you must have either QuickBlock or Schedules set up.

Here’s how you can configure it:

Choose an access method that best suits your needs. You can select from the following options:

Timer Condition: This option locks your settings for a specified duration (e.g., one week). Once activated, you won’t be able to change your Schedules, QuickBlock, or deactivate Strict Mode until the timer expires.
Follow Schedules Condition: This option locks your settings whenever any of your Schedules are active. When no schedules are active, you’ll be able to make changes. However, note that even if Strict Mode is tied to just one Schedule, all other Schedules will also be locked from modification while Strict Mode is active.
PIN Code or Charger Unlocking: These are less strict options. You can unlock and make changes to your settings by entering a PIN code or connecting your device to a charger.

Access methods available from version 7.2.0:

Cooldown: This feature allows you to set a waiting period (2 to 10 minutes) on the Strict Mode screen before you can deactivate Strict Mode. It’s designed to make you think twice before deactivating Strict Mode, giving you time to reconsider your decision.
Approval: You can set up a partner’s email, such as a family member, friend, or trusted coworker, to unlock Strict Mode. If you need to deactivate Strict Mode, an email will be sent to them, and they can approve or deny your request to deactivate it.

Strict Mode provides a range of options to keep you on track, ensuring you stick to your goals without the temptation to easily turn off your blocks.

Additional Options:

You can also choose from additional options to define what will be blocked during Strict Mode:

Lock Blockings in App (always on): Ensures block settings cannot be changed.
Disable AppBlock Uninstalling: Prevents uninstalling AppBlock.
Block Device Settings: Restricts access to settings.
Block Recent Apps: Available for Pixel, Samsung, and Xiaomi devices to prevent bypass via recent apps such as pop up view/floating windows bypass.
Block Split Screen: Disables the split-screen feature.
Block Reinstalled Applications: Stops apps from being reinstalled to bypass blocks.

Important: Be careful and make sure you have the correct settings before turning on Strict Mode, especially if it’s your first time. This will help prevent unintentional blocking of an app or website for too long, as you may not be able to unblock it once Strict Mode is activated.
