Any app or website, plus notifications. Social apps, specific sites, whole categories, or a custom mix: you decide what gets through and what goes quiet. You can bundle blocks together for contexts like work, study or sleep, and lock a whole bundle in one action. - Individual apps and individual URLs can both be named directly, so nothing has to fit a preset. - Notifications can be silenced alongside the app, which closes the badge-and-ping loophole. - Bundles are reusable, so 'study' and 'sleep' become one tap each rather than a list you rebuild.

Welockin's Protection categories are Adult and explicit sites, Gambling including casinos, betting and lotteries, Dating apps, and Mature games. Pick a category and it is blocked everywhere, instantly, without you having to name each site or app yourself. - Categories cover sites you have never heard of, which is the point. A manual list only blocks what you can remember. - Categories and your own custom picks can be combined in the same session. - A category stays blocked across every synced device, not just the one you armed it on.

Turn on the Adult and explicit category and pornography and explicit sites are blocked automatically across your devices, without you listing them one by one. This is the category most often paired with Nuclear Mode, because a porn block you can switch off in the moment is not really a block. - The category approach matters here: manually listing sites means the block only covers what you already know about. - Pairing it with an accountability partner or Nuclear Mode is what makes it hold during a craving. - Filtering happens on the device, so using it does not mean sending anyone a log of what you browse.

Alongside the ready-made categories you can block any individual app or website you name: a particular social network, a news site, that one game. Everything can be mixed into your own blocklists, so presets and custom picks live side by side in the same session. - Useful for the distraction that is specific to you: a forum, a fantasy league, one particular subreddit. - Custom entries can be saved into a bundle and reused like any preset. - If a site slips through despite being listed, emailing the URL to support is what gets it fixed.

Bundle apps and sites into sets (a study bundle, a sleep bundle, a work bundle), and lock a whole bundle at once rather than toggling things one by one. The bundle is what turns a focus session from a two-minute setup into a single tap. - Bundles are the difference between a blocker you use twice and one that becomes a daily ritual. - A bundle can mix categories with individually named apps and sites. - Schedules run on bundles, so a recurring block starts with the right list already loaded.

Welockin can silence notifications as well as block the apps and sites themselves, so a blocked app cannot keep pulling you back with badges and pings. Blocking the app while leaving its notifications on is how most focus tools leak. The app is shut, but the pull is still there. - A badge you cannot act on is worse than one you can: it creates the itch without the release. - Notification silencing applies per bundle, so a work bundle and a sleep bundle can behave differently.

Set up recurring focus blocks and they start on their own (every weekday at nine, every evening at eleven), so showing up is automatic and skipping takes actual effort. Scheduling is what converts a blocker from something you remember to use into something that just runs. - Recurring schedules run per bundle, so a morning work block and a nightly wind-down can differ. - A scheduled block still respects the strictness level you set for it. - Sleep schedules are the most common second use, after study. Source: https://www.welock.in/de/faq/what-you-can-block/schedule-blocks ## Are there focus extras beyond blocking? Yes. Focus sounds including rain, lo-fi and forest; scheduling for recurring blocks that start automatically; short timed breaks inside a session; and a password lock for your settings so the app itself cannot be quietly reconfigured mid-session. - Focus sounds are per-session, so a study session and a wind-down can sound different. - Timed breaks are bounded. They end on their own rather than becoming the rest of the evening. - Locking the settings closes the obvious loophole of editing the blocklist instead of unlocking it.
