The app blocker that talks to you like a friend, not a drill sergeant

Yes. Core app blocking and conversational messages are free with no time limit. The free tier includes 2 blocking groups, 3 blocked websites, and 1 Quick Disable per day. No credit card required, no trial countdown. Premium unlocks unlimited groups, website blocking, extended analytics, and more for $3.99/month or $31.99/year. But most people find the free tier covers their daily needs.

Yes. Quick Disable gives you temporary access to blocked apps for 5, 10, or 15 minutes. You choose the duration. It is PIN-protected and available once per day on the free tier (twice per day on premium). Blocking automatically re-enables when the timer ends. It is there for genuine moments, an urgent work message, an important call, without undermining your focus the rest of the day.

Most blockers show the same cold "Blocked" screen every time, no matter the context. Jublu takes a different approach. When you try to open a blocked app, Jublu responds with one of 53 conversational messages across 3 tiers and 7 emotional tones. Early attempts get a gentle check-in. Repeated attempts get more honest and direct. And when you resist the urge for 20 minutes, the intensity drops back down. Jublu notices when you are winning, not just when you slip. You can always dismiss the screen instantly. No enforced waiting, no mandatory breathing exercises.

No. Jublu can only detect which app is in the foreground. It cannot read content inside apps. It does not see your messages, photos, passwords, or browsing history. Your blocking groups, schedules, and attempt history are stored locally on your device. We collect anonymous product analytics to improve the app, but this data is never tied to your identity or your app content.

Yes. Uninstall Jublu like any other Android app. Your blocking data is stored locally and is deleted with the app. If you are on the free tier, there is nothing else to do. If you subscribed to premium, cancel through Google Play (Settings > Subscriptions) before uninstalling. Uninstalling alone does not cancel a subscription.

Jublu's accessibility service runs in the background but only activates when you open a blocked app. It does not continuously scan or track your activity. Most users report no noticeable battery impact. If your device has aggressive battery optimization (common on Samsung, Xiaomi, and Huawei), you may need to exempt Jublu from battery restrictions so it can block reliably. The app will guide you through this during setup.

Yes. Website blocking is available on both free and premium plans. The free tier includes up to 3 websites per group. Premium unlocks unlimited websites. Jublu blocks sites inside Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Samsung Internet using the same conversational approach as app blocking. No VPN required, so it works alongside your existing VPN if you use one.

Jublu intercepts and silences notifications from apps in your active blocking groups. You will not see banners, sounds, or badge counts from blocked apps while a group is active. Notifications are stored so nothing is lost. They appear normally once your blocking session ends or the group is deactivated.

Most blockers take an all-or-nothing approach: either they are too harsh (and you uninstall out of frustration) or too easy to bypass (and you ignore them). Jublu is designed for the space in between. Instead of punishing you, Jublu talks to you. The first time you try to open a blocked app, the message is gentle. The tenth time, it is more direct. And when you resist the urge, Jublu backs off. The intensity drops after 20 minutes of not trying. This creates a feedback loop that works with your psychology instead of against it. You can always dismiss the blocking screen. No enforced cooldowns. Jublu trusts you to make the right call. It just makes sure you pause and think first.

Yes. Jublu uses Android's accessibility service for blocking, not a VPN. You can use Jublu alongside any VPN without conflicts.

Yes. Jublu supports three types of blocking groups: Scheduled activates automatically on the days and times you set, great for work hours or evening wind-down routines. One-time is a timed session you start manually, useful for focused work sprints. Manual is always-on blocking with a 30-minute commitment lock so you cannot impulsively turn it off. The free tier includes 2 groups. Premium unlocks unlimited groups.
