Block websites everywhere on your iPhone.

How it works

  1. 01

    Add a site or a service

    Block any website, subdomains included, or block more than 80 services in one tap.

  2. 02

    Set the rules

    Block all day, on a schedule, or allow a site for a set number of minutes each day with Blockd Pro.

  3. 03

    Add a partner

    Your partner gets an alert if protection turns off. The block stays on because someone else knows about it.

Why a blocked site stays blocked

Before any app loads a website, your iPhone looks up the site's address. Blockd answers that lookup. If the site is on your blocklist, it doesn't load, whichever app asked. That is why switching from Safari to Chrome, or opening a link inside Instagram, doesn't get around the block.

Blocks that fit your day

Not every block needs to be all or nothing. With Blockd Pro, you can block a site on weekdays only, or give yourself 15 minutes of Reddit a day and block it after that.

  • Block any website. Subdomains are included.
  • Block social media, dating, gambling, streaming, gaming, AI, shopping, and messaging services in one tap.
  • Schedules block by day and time.
  • Daily limits allow a site for a set number of minutes each day.

Straight answers

What Blockd can’t do

  • Blockd blocks by website address. It can't see what is on a page, and it never takes screenshots.
  • Anyone can turn off a blocker that they installed. Blockd doesn't stop you. It tells your partner within seconds.
  • An iPhone runs one VPN at a time. If you connect another VPN app, it can replace Blockd's connection.
  • A few apps use their own DNS and can get around DNS filtering.

Common questions

Does Blockd block websites in Chrome on iPhone?

Yes. Blockd blocks at the DNS level, so a blocked site doesn't load in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, private tabs, or the browsers inside other apps.

Can I block a website on a schedule?

Yes, with Blockd Pro. Schedules block a site by day and time. Daily limits let you use a site for a set number of minutes each day.

How many sites can I block for free?

The free plan includes 3 active blocks. A block can be one site or one service. Blockd Pro adds unlimited active blocks for $7.99 a month or $39.99 a year.

Does Blockd slow down my internet?

Blockd only answers the address lookup that happens before a page loads. The page itself loads from the same servers as before.
