How to use Quick Block

Quick Block is AppBlock’s fastest way to start a distraction-free session. Unlike schedules, it’s a one-time block you start manually. Perfect for when you need to focus for an hour or want a short digital detox.

When to use Quick Block

  • You need to focus for the next hour or two.
  • You don’t want a recurring schedule.
  • You want a one-tap distraction-free moment.

How to start a Quick Block

  1. Open AppBlock.
  2. Tap Quick Block on the home screen.
  3. Select the apps and websites you want to block.
  4. Choose the duration.
  5. Tap Start.

How to stop Quick Block

  1. Open AppBlock and tap Stop Quick Block.
  2. If Strict Mode is active, you’ll need to wait for the timer to expire or fulfill your unlock condition.

Quick Block vs. Schedules

  • Quick Block: one-time, on-demand · set up in seconds · best for spontaneous focus.
  • Schedules: recurring or rule-based · more options and conditions · best for daily habits.

Tip

Pair Quick Block with Strict Mode to make sure you can’t simply turn it off the moment temptation hits.
