Three Flexible Blocking Modes
🔒 Hard Block
Completely block access to selected websites until you choose to disable the rule.
Perfect for eliminating distractions during work, study, or family time.
⏳ Friction Mode
Instead of blocking instantly, BlockWise introduces a short countdown before the website opens.
That small pause helps interrupt impulsive browsing and gives you a moment to decide whether you really want to visit the site.
Ideal for reducing mindless scrolling on social media, news sites, or streaming platforms.
📅 Schedule Mode
Automatically block websites during specific hours.
Create distraction-free study sessions, work hours, bedtime routines, or family screen-time schedules.
Set it once and let BlockWise do the rest.
Guardian Lock
Protect your settings with an optional passcode.
When enabled, changes to BlockWise require the passcode before users can:
• Add or remove blocked websites
• Change blocking modes
• Modify schedules
• Reset statistics
Perfect for parents or anyone who wants extra accountability.
Focus Dashboard

• See how many distractions you've avoided
