Download BlockOut

Download the APK

Tap the download button above. Your browser may warn you about downloading an APK — this is normal for apps outside the Play Store. Tap "Download anyway" or "OK" to continue.

Allow installation

When you open the APK, Android will ask you to allow installation from this source. On Android 8+, go to Settings > Apps > Special access > Install unknown apps and enable it for your browser. On older versions, enable Settings > Security > Unknown sources.

Install BlockOut

Open the downloaded APK file (check your notifications or the Downloads folder). Tap Install. The installation takes a few seconds.

Grant permissions

BlockOut will guide you through granting the permissions it needs:

• Accessibility Service — detects when you open blocked apps or visit blocked websites (this is the core blocking mechanism)
• Device Administrator — prevents uninstalling BlockOut during active blocking
• Display over other apps — shows the blocking overlay

These permissions are only used for blocking. BlockOut does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

Add your blocklist

Add the apps and websites you want to block, set your weekly settings window, and you're good to go. Your commitment starts now.
