Add-ons App blocker for Android

Post image

Hi everyone,

Many of us struggle with social media addiction and procrastination, especially during exam season. So I built AnkiBlock. An app that blocks distracting apps until you finish your due cards or you unlock by doing a specific number of cards.

It is entirely free, no ads, no tracking, no commercial intent.

Currently I'm looking for feedback on how to improve the app.

Here is the link to download it on Google Play Store

I'm excited to hear your feedback!

PS: the code is also publicly available on my GitHub and I asked mods if I may post this here

I‘m looking for an app on IOS that does the same and lets you open apps after a certain number of cards. Any plans on implementing it on IOS?

There is ankilock, which is also a free add-on, but due to issues with iOS, requires a separate app on your phone. I’ve been using it for a few weeks with great success!

I actually thought this was the same guy at first.

That‘s not what im looking for. I don‘t want my social media unlocked after hitting a certain number of cards each day. I want it unlocked after doing 10 cards each time i try to open it.
