QuietBlocks

QuietBlocks is a mobile app (iOS/Android) that automatically blocks your biggest time-wasters based on context: location, calendar events, time of day, and motion (e.g., “at desk,” “commuting,” “in bed”). Instead of relying on willpower, it enforces “focus modes” that lock distracting apps/sites for a set period, with only a small number of emergency bypasses. It also includes a simple “friction layer” for impulsive opens: a 10-second delay, a short intention prompt, or a required action like scanning a QR code on your desk. Weekly reports show which triggers cause slips and suggest tighter rules. This is a traditional app with light AI: AI only helps identify patterns and recommend better blocks, not pretend to be a therapist. The goal is fewer decisions, fewer loopholes, and measurable reclaimed time.
