Tamper-resistant blocking for Android and Windows

Block apps and websites even when future-you tries to cheat.

A tamper-resistant blocker for Android and Windows, built for people who already tried normal blockers and found the workarounds.

Join the private beta How it works

Early beta users help us design against real bypass methods - not imaginary productivity problems.

Normal blockers work until the moment you really want to bypass them.

Most blockers assume your future self will play fair. But in the moment, you know exactly where the weak points are.

Disable the browser extension.
Switch to another browser.
Change DNS or VPN settings.
Uninstall the blocking app.
Kill the background process.
Use another device and pretend it does not count.

The problem is not that you are weak. The problem is that most blockers are built for your rational self, not your impulsive self.

Built to survive the impulse window.

AppBrake adds friction exactly where lightweight blockers collapse: disabling, changing rules, uninstalling, switching routes, and hiding bypass attempts from yourself.

Not magic. Just much harder to cheat.

No blocker can honestly promise to be impossible to bypass on a device you fully control. AppBrake is designed to make bypassing slower, harder, and more visible - especially during the short impulse window where most relapses and distractions happen.
