How to combine profile conditions

How to combine profile conditions

Do you want to have a different usage limit on weekends than weekdays? Or combine any other profile conditions together? You can!

  • Go to the Blocking tab. In the Profiles section, tap + Add to create a new Profile.
  • Select your first blocking condition, for example, Time.
  • Set it up as you wish and tap Save.
  • Next to step 1, you will now see a little Add (+) button. Tap it.
  • Select your second condition, for example Usage limit, set up and save. 
  • Repeat until you have all the conditions you want to combine. 
  • Select the apps and websites you want to block and continue as usual. 

For example, to give yourself different usage limit for different days, you may create two profiles:

  • “Weekends” with usage limit: 4h/day + Time: weekends.
  • “Weekdays” with usage limit: 1h/day + Time: weekdays.

Note: 

Combining conditions leads to the profile being active when ALL conditions are active. If it is the weekend AND you hit the 4h/day limit, the profile will be blocked.

Creating several profiles results in OR relationship. We block on weekends OR weekdays.

Note: In AppBlock versions 5.X, Profiles are found in the menu on the left > Profiles.
