Friction°: App Blocker & Focus

Friction blocks the apps you choose — and makes it genuinely hard to change your mind.

Other screen time apps let you tap "ignore" in one second. Friction doesn't. When you try to disable a block, you'll face a randomized challenge string you have to type out perfectly: 20 characters free, up to 80 with Premium. By the time you could finish, the impulse has passed. That's the whole idea.

SET YOUR OWN RULES 
Create blocking rules that fit your life: 
• Schedule — block apps on specific days and times (e.g. no Instagram on weekdays 9–5) 
• Multi-Time — multiple blocking windows in a single rule 
• Session — start an immediate focus block for a set duration 
• Location — automatically block apps when you arrive at or leave a place

THE FRICTION GENERATOR 
This is what makes Friction different. When you try to disable your own rules, you face a challenge: 
• Type a randomly-generated string of characters (adjustable length with Premium) 
• Or hold a button for up to 90 seconds 
• Maximum Friction mode requires the challenge to even edit or delete a rule 
The harder you make it, the less often you'll bother.

WEBSITE BLOCKING 
Block specific domains or all adult content. Website blocks follow the same friction rules as app blocks.

PREVENT DELETION 
Turn on Prevent Deletion to stop yourself from uninstalling Friction during an active session.

DESIGNED FOR SELF-CONTROL 
Friction is not a parental control app. It's a tool for adults who want to set their own boundaries and actually keep them. You make the rules. Friction enforces them.

Friction Premium unlocks location-based rules, multi-time blocking, unlimited schedule rules, and more. Available as a monthly and yearly subscription.
