You decide what distracts you. Guard makes sure it stays that way.
Guard is a strict app blocker for Android that runs on your device – not in a cloud. You choose which apps get restricted, when, and which hurdle you have to clear to open them anyway.
A real interruption, not an empty timer
Guard detects the moment you open a restricted app in real time, and reacts instantly.
Block screen & friction
PIN, unlock pattern, or Lockpick – you choose which hurdle consciously interrupts impulsive opening.
Time windows
Define when apps are allowed or blocked. The moment a window ends, access locks again instantly – even mid-use.
Anti-bypass system
App switching, back navigation and rapid app-hopping are detected – Guard keeps enforcing in the background continuously.
Focus & Bedtime
Set fixed focus windows or an automatic bedtime schedule where distracting apps stay firmly off-limits.
Website blocking
Block individual domains or entire categories like gambling or shopping directly in the browser.
Statistics
See at a glance how often you opened apps, how much time you spend in them, and how your habits change over time.
What Guard looks like
Home screen, app overview, statistics and calendar – straight from the app.
Two modes, your pace
Easy needs no special permission. Hard additionally uses Accessibility for tamper protection, Focus, Bedtime and website blocking.
