OpenAd: App Blocker

Before you scroll, pay the toll.

OpenAd is a free app blocker and screen time tool. Pick the apps that eat your day, and every time you open one, you watch an ad first. It's annoying. That's the point.

100% FREE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. EVER.
The ads pay for OpenAd, so you never do. No paywall, no premium tier.

HOW IT WORKS
• Block any app, category or website
• Open a blocked app and you hit OpenAd's block screen
• Watch 1 ad for 5 minutes. You also get 2 free passes a day
• When time's up, the block comes back on its own
• Change your mind? Tap "Not now", and it counts as a win

STOP DOOMSCROLLING, AND SEE THE PROOF
• Your screen time receipt: tolls paid, ads watched and urges resisted, for this week or all time. Share it in one tap
• A Lock Screen countdown while your apps are unlocked
• A Sunday recap of your week
• A Home Screen widget with today's resisted urges

MADE FOR
• Cutting back on social media and doomscrolling
• Staying focused while you study or work
• A digital detox that doesn't depend on willpower

GOOD TO KNOW
• If an ad can't load, OpenAd offers a short timed wait instead.
• You never have to tap an ad, install anything or buy anything.
• Screen Time permission is required to block apps. Notifications and tracking are optional.
• You can report an inappropriate ad in Settings.

YOUR PRIVACY
• The apps you block and your Screen Time activity stay on your iPhone. They're never sent to us or to advertisers.
• Ads come from third-party ad partners. "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" is in Settings and on by default.
• OpenAd collects basic usage analytics to improve the app.
See the Privacy Policy for details.

The world's most annoying app blocker. You're welcome.
