How to create a Location schedule
Want to block specific apps and websites based on where you are? A Location Schedule lets you block apps either when you’re at a certain place or when you’re away from it (Inverse Location).
Steps to create a Location Schedule
- Go to the Blocking tab and tap + Add in the Schedules section to create a new schedule.
- Choose the apps and websites you want to block. Name your schedule for easy identification.
- Select Location as the blocking condition and ensure location permissions are granted. If this is your first time creating a Location Schedule, follow the on-screen instructions to enable the necessary permissions.
- Choose the Location and Radius — set the radius for the location where you want apps to be blocked. Alternatively, use the search icon in the top-right corner to type and select a specific address.
- After setting the location and radius, tap Save and then Create to finalize your schedule.
Note: Once you create a schedule, it activates automatically. Unlike Quick Block, there’s no need to enable it manually.
Want the opposite? Set up an Inverse Location Schedule
If you’d rather block apps when you’re outside a specific location (instead of inside it), use the Inverse option:
- Follow steps 1–3 above to start your schedule and select Location as the condition.
- Tap the Inverse Location option to apply the block when you’re outside the specified location(s).
- Set your location and radius, then tap Save and Create to finalize.
You can toggle this at any time — go to your schedule’s Location settings and switch “Inverse radius” on or off:
- Inverse radius ON → apps are blocked when you’re outside the area
- Inverse radius OFF → apps are blocked when you’re inside the area
Optional: Keep blocking active without location access
If you want the location schedule to remain active even when location services are unavailable, go to AppBlock settings → More → Settings and toggle “When Location unavailable” on.
