SysBlock

SysBlock is a powerful, self-imposed digital wellbeing tool for Android designed to help you regain control of your time. It combines app blocking, usage limits, strict schedules, and focus modes to prevent you from bypassing your own rules.

Key Features

• App Blocking: Block distracting apps completely or set daily usage limits (e.g., "30m", "1h").
• Schedules: Define specific time ranges (e.g., "Work", "Sleep") when apps are blocked.
• Focus Mode ("Deep Work"): A high-priority mode that blocks everything except a specific set of allowed tools.
• Sleep Mode: Enforce a strict bedtime by blocking apps globally, with support for "Wrap Up" sessions and specific exemptions.
• Scroll & Reel Limiter: Detects and limits doom-scrolling in apps like Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
• Master Switch: A global toggle to enable or disable all blocking rules instantly.
• Freeze Protocol: Lock specific lines of your configuration for set time periods. During this time, you cannot edit or delete those rules.
• Uninstall Protection: Optional Device Admin permission prevents the app from being force-stopped or uninstalled.
• Raw Config Editor: Full control via the text-based CONFIG.SYS file.
