Learn something before you scroll.
MindPass blocks the apps you choose. To use one, read a short fact and answer one quick question. Then the app unlocks for 5 minutes.
TRY IT FIRST
Start with a quick sample. Then pick your apps, your interests, and when to block: all day or on a schedule.
30 SHORT FACTS, WORKS OFFLINE
Lava lamps help protect internet traffic. A penguin was made a knight. Tiny animals called tardigrades survived 10 days in open space. MindPass comes with 30 facts on ten subjects, and they work offline. Some facts are just for reading. Others have one question about the idea, not about names and dates. Optional quizzes bring back some facts later. You can skip them.
HOW UNLOCKING WORKS
Answer correctly to earn an unlock. Use it within 15 minutes, keep reading, or choose not to open the app at all. Your 5 minutes start when you use the unlock, not when you earn it. The time keeps running even if you leave the app. When time is up, the app is blocked again while your blocking schedule is on and MindPass's Accessibility service is on.
STRICT MODE (OPTIONAL)
Strict mode makes you wait 24 hours before you can turn it off or loosen your settings. You can make blocking stricter right away. Strict mode is off by default. The Accessibility service can still be turned off in Android Settings.
FREE AND PRO
App blocking, schedules, strict mode, standard facts and unlocks are free. An optional MindPass Pro subscription adds up to 10 personalised topics per UTC calendar month, with six facts per topic. Trial and paid access share the monthly topic allowance, with no rollover. Created topics remain readable after Pro ends. The annual plan can start with a 7-day free trial for eligible accounts. Prices and renewal terms are shown before purchase. Manage or cancel your subscription in Google Play.
HOW BLOCKING WORKS
MindPass uses Android's Accessibility service only to see which app is on screen, so it can show the MindPass screen over the apps you chose. It never reads what is on your screen or what you type, and the apps you pick stay on your phone.
GOOD TO KNOW
The Accessibility service must be on for app blocking. The interface and learning content are currently in English. Online learning features, including personalised topics, need an internet connection.
