Simple Detox · Android
Focus on what matters. Not what pulls you away.
Simple Detox is an app blocker built for real life — exam season, deep work, evenings without endless scrolling, and the moments when willpower alone is not enough. Choose which apps to pause, set a commitment, and get your attention back.

Why people use it
One app. Different goals.
Distraction looks different for everyone. Simple Detox adapts to how you actually use your phone.
Work & projects
Protect blocks of time for writing, coding, planning, or client work. Start a session when you sit down; the phone stops competing for attention.
Social media & habits
Reduce compulsive checking without deleting the apps you still need. Many users start with short sessions and build longer streaks over time.
How it works
Commitment, not complexity.
- Select apps to block Pick the apps that break your focus — social, games, news, or anything else.
- Choose your level of discipline From a gentle reminder to a strict lock that runs until the timer ends. You set the rules before you start.
- Start a session in one tap Open the app when you need focus, or add a home-screen shortcut for faster access. Schedules automate recurring focus hours.
- Track progress Focus statistics and daily streaks help you see consistency, not just single good days.
