My Screen Time Was Out of Control. So I Built Yoodoo's App Blocker to Stop Myself.

There was a day recently where I opened Instagram "for 5 minutes" and an hour later I found myself deep in the comments section of a post about medieval bread. Again.

If you have ADHD, you probably know that feeling. The lost time. The weird rabbit holes. The regret. The endless doomscrolling that eats your entire afternoon.

I built Yoodoo to help myself (and people like me with ADHD) actually do the things we care about. Plan, focus, finish. But there was still one enemy left untouched: our phones.

So I built the feature I personally needed the most: an ADHD-friendly app blocker. Sure there are other app blockers out there, but one that was in my todolist & planner, that was the one I needed!

🛡️ What This App Blocker for ADHD Actually Does

Yoodoo’s new App Blocker gives you back control over your time and attention. It’s built right into Yoodoo—the ADHD productivity app that helps you plan your day, build better routines, and block distractions.

Here’s how it works:

• Set the time you want to focus

• Choose which distracting apps to block (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube—we see you)

• Yoodoo blocks those apps automatically - no going back.

During your focus block, those apps just... don’t open. It’s like your ADHD brain finally got a bodyguard that brings you back to Yoodoo, so you can just, focus.

🧠 Why This ADHD App Blocking Tool Works

People with ADHD crave novelty and stimulation. That dopamine hit of opening Instagram? Brutal. Most “productivity apps” try to work with your willpower. Yoodoo’s App Blocker works around it.

By physically blocking access to apps during focus time, you remove the decision fatigue. You eliminate temptation. It’s one of the best ADHD tools out there if you struggle with attention, procrastination, or hyperfocus on the wrong thing.

This is more than screen time control—it’s ADHD management that actually works.

✨ Real Talk: Yoodoo’s App Blocker Changed My Day

Since using Yoodoo’s distraction blocker:

• I finish my ADHD daily plan before lunch

This isn't just about productivity—it's about peace of mind for ADHD brains.
