Get your mornings back from your phone.

Pick the apps once. They stay off while you work, with a few short unblocks a day for the real stuff. On iPhone and Android.

    Let Yoodoo block

    On iPhone, blocking works through Screen Time: tap Allow. It takes ten seconds and iOS only asks once. On Android, Yoodoo asks for Usage access, then to show over other apps so a block screen can cover a blocked app. It only sees which app is open, never what's on your screen.

    Need one for something real?

    Blocked apps show a shield. Unblock… asks why, waits a breath, then opens it for a few minutes. Unblocks show up in your wrap up, quietly.
