Block specific apps (blacklist)

Pick the apps you want to block. Everything else keeps working. When you open a blocked app, Mindful Lock shows a block screen with the time left and when the session ends.

Use this mode when only a few apps take up your time, like social apps or a game.

A blocking session runs until its timer ends and can't be stopped early.

Before you start, you can choose emergency unlocks: no emergency unlocks (strict), 1 (recommended), or 3. Each one pauses blocking for 5 minutes, so you can open an app you need. You use them from the block screen.

On the free plan a session can last up to 6 hours, and you can start up to 6 a day. Premium allows up to 24 hours and no daily cap.

1. Open the Block tab.
2. Under Blocking Mode, choose Block Selected.
3. Pick your apps, or tap an App Group card to add all its apps at once.
4. Pick how long, then choose your emergency unlocks.
5. Optionally turn on Prevent quitting Mindful Lock.
6. Confirm to start blocking.
