Most blockers live inside your phone. Monk lives outside of it.
Monk is a physical device, not just another app. That creates a real, tangible barrier between you and your distractions. When you scan Monk, it blocks the apps you’ve selected, and they stay locked unless you have the device with you.
There are no shortcuts, no override buttons, and no sneaky “just for 5 minutes” loopholes
Your purchase includes the Monk device and lifetime access to the Monk app, including all current and future features, as well as full support along your journey.
That means: No subscriptions or hidden fees. Just one purchase and you’re in for good.
- Block apps, website or entire categories like games or socials instantly with a simple tap.
- Remote blocking: Get Monked from anywhere, even if you don't have your Monk with you, you will still need your Monk to lift the block.
- Create custom modes for every occasion.
- Automate your sessions: Use the Shortcuts app to start Monk Mode based on location, time, or other triggers.
- Track your progress: See detailed stats organized by day or week to understand your habits.
- Emergency unblocks: Use limited unblock tokens if something urgent comes up.
- Strict Mode: Prevents you from deleting the app while Monk Mode is active.
- Special blocking settings: Decide whether you want to block in-app purchases, adult content and app downloads as well, perfect for parenting.
With Strict Mode enabled you can't delete the App while you are Monked. No cheating allowed here.
Because real change happens when shortcuts disappear.
Accidents happen, so each account starts with 3 Emergency unblocks that allow you to exit Monk Mode if necessary.
If you manage to run out you can always contact us and we'll help you out ;). Some users decide to spend them immediately to remove any bypass option.
You can block any apps, websites and categories like social media, games or anything else you choose.
We have also added the option to block all adult content, app downloads and in app purchases, perfect for the most disciplined or for parents.
Yes! A single Monk can be used by an entire family for example, the same way one person can use several Monks (e.g. one at home and one at the office)
No. This stays locally on your phone. We don’t track or store any personal usage data. Your privacy is a priority.
We're starting with iOS, but Android support is on the way, stay tuned!
