    Block what pulls you away.

    StepBack blocks apps and websites the moment you turn on a profile. No sign-up, no servers, nothing leaving your device. Set up profiles for the parts of your day that need your full attention, and let the structure do the work.

    Built for the parts of your day that matter.

    Focus Profiles

    Create as many profiles as you need: Work, Sleep, Gym, Study. Each with its own apps, icon, and color.

    Manual or Scheduled

    Flip a toggle for instant focus, or set a weekly schedule that activates blocking automatically.

    Override with Friction

    Need access? A limited daily override gives you a short grace period. Enough to be honest with yourself, not perfect.

    How it works

    Four steps to a calmer phone.

    No willpower required. Set things up once, and StepBack quietly does the rest.

    1. 01

      Create a profile

      Name it, pick an icon and a gradient that fits the moment.

    2. 02

      Pick what to block

      Choose the apps and websites you want blocked. Your phone's built-in picker makes it easy.

    3. 03

      Manual or Scheduled

      Toggle on demand, or set days and times for automatic blocking.

    4. 04

      Stay focused

      Locked apps stay locked. Use a daily override only if you really need it.

    Privacy

    Your data never leaves your device.

    Blocking is handled directly by your phone. StepBack never sees what you open, how long you use something, or what websites you visit.

    • No account required

      Open the app and start. There's nothing to sign up for.

    • No cloud sync

      Everything stays on your device. Nothing is backed up to a server.

    • No analytics sent

      Local-only analytics. Nothing about you leaves your phone.

    • Enforced by your phone

      Your phone does the blocking. StepBack just tells it what to block.

    Questions, answered.
