Allow only certain apps (whitelist)

The opposite of Block Selected: pick the few apps you want to keep, and Mindful Lock blocks everything else.

This mode is stricter. Use it when you only need a few apps, like maps and notes.

Essential apps are never blocked: your home screen, phone, keyboard, and settings.

Like Block Selected, an Allow Only session runs until its timer ends, and you can choose 0, 1, or 3 emergency unlocks before you start.

1. Open the Block tab.
2. Under Blocking Mode, choose Allow Only.
3. Pick the apps you want to keep. Every other app gets blocked.
4. Pick how long, choose your emergency unlocks, and confirm to start.
