Appcognito
Free, privacy-first app & website blocker for Android.
Appcognito is a free app and website blocker for Android, built for complete privacy. Block distracting apps, sites and adult content on-device, with no account, no ads and no tracking.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Appcognito because I wanted a powerful screen-time and distraction blocker that didn't compromise my personal data. Most blockers require cloud accounts, tracking, or sneaky subscriptions.
Appcognito works entirely on-device, no ads, no accounts, and absolutely no tracking. I'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions!
Love that everything runs on-device with zero accounts or tracking, such a rare find these days. Blocking adult content alongside regular apps in the same tool is a thoughtful touch.
how does it actually block stuff on android without rooting or a vpn profile running in the background?
Blocking works right on the device with no sign-up feels pretty rare these days, and the setup took me under a minute. Surprised something this simple actually sticks without nagging me about a premium tier.
how does this actually hold up against someone just uninstalling the app or clearing its data to get around the blocks?
the fact that everything runs on-device with zero account or tracking is genuinely refreshing, and the no-ads commitment on a free app shows real respect for the user.
