There are 4 ways to block apps:
1) Start blocking now
"On-Demand Blocking" lets you instantly block distracting apps whenever you need to focus. Unlike scheduled blocks that activate at set times, "On-Demand Blocking" gives you immediate control over your screen time. Use it for studying, working, or simply taking a break from your phone—without having to wait for a scheduled block to kick in. To use this blocking type, go to "Roots App > Homepage > Start blocking now".
2) After reaching a set time limit
Blocks the app after you’ve used it for a set duration.
Example: Max 1 hour on Instagram per day.
3) At a specific time of day
Blocks the app during chosen hours.
Example: No social media from 6–8 AM for a distraction-free morning.
4) All-day, with limited unblocks
Blocks the app all day but allows a limited number of unblocks.
Example: Only 2 unblocks per day for social media apps.
