Version 2.3

New in this update:

• Smarter setup: We now ask what distracts you the most and show exactly how much blocking it is worth for your focus.
• Updated free plan: Includes 2 apps, 2 sessions per day, and 25 minutes per session.
• Clearer streaks: Your streak now shows when it's not protected, so you always know where you stand.
• Better stats control: Historical stats are now a Pro feature. Today's stats remain free for everyone.
• Weekly report: Unlocks after your first full week so you can see your progress sooner.

Bug fixes and stability improvements.

Version 2.0: A complete rebuild

This is the biggest update I've ever shipped.

Over the past months, I rebuilt StrictBlock from scratch to make it faster, harder to bypass, and actually enjoyable to use every day.

What's new

• New UI: Cleaner, minimal, built for focus
• Stronger blocking: More resilient app & site locks
• Focus stats: See your time, streaks, and patterns
• Widgets: Track your progress right from your Home Screen

Improvements

• Better performance (less battery usage)
• More reliable scheduling

This isn't just an update. It's a reset.

Thanks for being here.
