You already know you shouldn't open it. OpLoop is the thing that's standing there when you do — with something worth reading.

You don't reach for the app because you decided to. You reach for it when you're wound up, bored, or avoiding something — and a grey wall telling you to focus just gets swiped past by day four.
So OpLoop doesn't lecture. It says something that makes you snort at yourself. That half-second of being caught out is the whole mechanism: you're already out of the loop before you've decided anything.
A routine is when + which apps + how hard + which tone. App groups are neutral — the same set can be the blocked list in one routine and the allowed list in another.
Schedule blocks by time and day, with drag-to-edit rails, 15-minute snapping, and midnight crossover.
Manual focus sessions with single or interval timers, at soft, deep, or lockdown strength.
Holds for up to six hours. Your phone app always stays open, plus two you pick before it starts. Pick them carefully.
No early exitTime reclaimed, weekly rolling comparison, and milestone badges — computed on the device.
An app blocker has to look at the most revealing surface you own. OpLoop's answer isn't that it looks away — it's that nothing it sees ever leaves the phone.
Blocking records, usage stats, and your app list live in a local database — and are excluded from Google's automatic backup.
No product analytics, no crash reporting. Nothing reports what you block, or when.
Free tier only, on three tab screens — never on the blocking screen. The ad network gets the standard Android ad ID and device basics; from OpLoop, nothing. Pro runs no ad code at all.
That's the whole record — nothing in it says which app you opened. Signing in is optional: blocking and Pro both work without an account, and payment runs through Google Play and RevenueCat under an anonymous id.
iOS is in development, and a big Android update is on the way. We email when either one lands — a few times a year at most, never a newsletter.
