Block specific apps' internet — no root, no airplane mode. Stay invisible.

Offline to them. Online for you.
GreyTick lets you disappear from specific apps without putting your whole phone offline.
BLOCK ANY APP'S INTERNET
Pick which apps lose internet access. WhatsApp, Instagram, Tinder, Slack — you choose. Everything else keeps working normally.
SINGLE GREY TICK
When GreyTick blocks WhatsApp, your contacts see a single grey tick — same as airplane mode. Messages don't arrive as "delivered" until you're ready.
SCHEDULED BLOCKING
Set schedules: "Block Social apps from 10 PM to 7 AM on weekdays." GreyTick activates and deactivates automatically, no manual action needed.
ONE-TAP TOGGLE
Quick Settings tile for instant on/off from anywhere. No digging through menus.
CURATED PRESETS
Social, Work, Dating, Sleep — pre-built groups of the apps you actually want to block. Or build your own custom preset.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No data leaves your device — ever
• No analytics, no tracking, no accounts required
• No packet inspection — traffic is blocked, not inspected
• 100% local — no servers involved
• No ads
GreyTick is not a privacy VPN. It doesn't hide your IP, encrypt traffic, or make you anonymous — it's a local on-device switch that decides which apps get to connect. If an app is blocked, it simply can't reach the internet.
HOW IT WORKS
GreyTick uses Android's built-in VPN service to create a local firewall on your device. No root required. Works on Android 7.0+. Only the apps you select are routed through the firewall — all other apps are completely unaffected. Because Android allows only one active VPN slot, GreyTick can't run alongside other VPN apps or VPN-based ad blockers.
