AntApp is a powerful site and app blocker for your phone or tablet, that gives you full control FOR COMPLETELY FREE. No subscription needed. You decide which apps and websites distract you, set the rules once, and AntApp holds you to them even when your willpower slips.
Unlike a simple app timer, AntApp is built to be hard to weasel out of. Loosening a rule doesn't take effect immediately: a changes-delay makes edits wait, so a moment of temptation can't undo the boundaries your calmer self set up.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Block apps and websites — pick the apps and sites that pull you in and shut them down.
• Website exceptions — block selected websites, or allow selected sites and block the rest. Choose the apps you want to block separately.
• Schedules — block during work hours, study time, sleep, or weekends.
• Daily limits — give an app a time budget, like 30 minutes a day, and let AntApp cut it off when the budget runs out.
• Launch allowances — limit how many times you can open an app each day.
• Changes-delay — tighter rules apply immediately; loosening a rule waits out the delay you chose.
• Strict mode — add optional barriers around uninstalling, opening Android Settings, installing new apps, and changing permissions inside AntApp. Android remains in control, so these are barriers, not an unbreakable device lock.
• Hide blocked app notifications — optionally dismiss notifications while their app is blocked. Requires Notification access; dismissed notifications do not return when the block ends.
• Escape price — decide in advance what bailing out early should cost you. Leave it at Free, or put real money in the way.
THE ESCAPE HATCH
There is always a way out — you just pick the price of it while you're feeling strong. Normally a change you make to loosen your rules sits and waits out the changes-delay. Escaping applies every waiting change at once and drops your changes-delay to zero, and it costs exactly what you set your escape price to. Nothing else in AntApp is ever for sale.
HOW IT WORKS
AntApp uses Android's Accessibility service to see the apps you can interact with on screen and to read the address bar of supported browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge). It uses that — on your device only — to enforce the exact blocks you set up. AntApp never collects that information, sends it off your device, or sells or shares it. Your app list, your rules, and your usage stay on your phone.
If you enable Hide blocked app notifications and grant Notification access, AntApp checks which app sent each notification and dismisses notifications from blocked apps. Notification contents are not saved.
NO SUBSCRIPTION
Every feature is free: unlimited blocks, schedules, daily limits, strict mode, any changes-delay. There is no premium tier, no trial, and no ads. The only optional purchase is the escape described above — and only when you have set your escape price above Free. Escapes are billed through Google Play in your local currency, and you buy one each time you escape.
Built for people who want their attention back. Set the rules once. Let AntApp do the rest.
