Ochi: Block Websites & Apps 4+

How do you stop filter?

Great app, but there is no way to stop a given filter after I launch it.

Thank you for the kind review, I really appreciate it! 

Untimed filters can be stopped at any moment (tap the Stop button in the Dashboard tab), but I have a feeling you might referring to Timed filters (the Duration/End Time options)? 

Timed filters can only be stopped within the first minute, but ultimately temporarily suspended for the remainder of the timed duration. This is by design, to help encourage people to commit to a distraction-free period of time, and if they need to urgently access a blocked app/website they have the ability to briefly suspend all filters.

Hope this helps clear things up!

Excellent app for ADHD.

I love this app and use it every day. I cannot cope with having open access to the internet, as ADHD limits the ability to focus / stay on task. I still use Freedom to block all social media permanently, but find this app easier for daily, ad-hoc blocking. The UI is pleasant, calming and intuitive. I love putting on my Netflix filter and actually watching something all the way through, instead of stopping every ten minutes to google something about an actor or a place. Thank you for making this, developer! :)

Hey, thank you for the kind review! It's great to hear you've found a great fit for Ochi, especially with managing ADHD. Hope you continue to find it helpful for a long time yet. Cheers!

Great app

I had a couple of troublesome websites I kept impulsively opening and this app lets me block them, giving me several steps I need to go through to unblock the websites, usually giving me enough time to realise that it was my impulsiveness and there wasn’t anything I needed to do on that website.

I personally don’t require any of the paid features, though I can see the power of being able to schedule downtimes for certain websites. Glad the free version is usable for my purposes unlike other apps I tried. Cheers!
