BLOCC is a focus app that blocks distracting apps using a physical NFC tag. By scanning the tag, you activate a focus session - your phone knows you're serious about your focus.

The physical action of scanning creates a psychological barrier. It's easy to ignore an app button, but placing a physical tag somewhere (e.g., in another room) makes it much harder to end your session early.

Emergency Unlocks
BLOCC has Emergency Unlocks for emergencies. Each tag comes with 3 emergency unlocks. Only use them when truly necessary.
You can purchase a 3-pack of emergency unlocks via the app for €2.99. These are instantly added to your tag.
The limitation is intentional - it prevents you from using them too easily and undermining your focus. 100% of proceeds go to emergency aid.

Tower System & Achievements
During focus sessions, you build a virtual tower. Every 15 minutes of focus earns you a new block. This visualizes your progress and motivates you to keep going.
Blocks are only "saved" at checkpoints (every 15 minutes). If you stop after 20 minutes, you get 1 block (not 1⅓). This encourages you to continue at least until the next checkpoint.
