The All Block for Windows

The problem

Willpower runs out,
the timer won't.

Games, feeds, one more episode — the pull is always there, and it's strongest exactly when you've decided to stop. Site blockers ask you not to click. This one takes the click away.

Decide once. Not forty times a night!

This is the entire interface during a block. A countdown, and how many emergency escapes are left this month. There is nothing to click, because clicking has stopped working.

How it works

Three steps, then nothing left to decide.

1

Set the session

Spin the wheel anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 hours — or put it in the schedule and never pick again.

2

Lock in

The mouse and keyboard stop answering, system-wide. Alt+Tab and the Task Manager shuffle go with them.

3

Get it back

The clock runs out and everything returns at once. The session lands in your history.

Who it's for

Built for the moments
that matter.

Nobody installs a blocker because they're short of good intentions. They install one because the intention keeps losing to impulse.

A chapter a day

Protect the part of the afternoon when your attention is still yours. Block the distractions, open the book, and turn a good intention into a daily ritual.

Every one of these is the same block underneath — the whole machine, for as long as you set. Start one by hand, or leave it to the schedule.

Coming from Cold Turkey or Freedom

They block a few apps and sites.
This blocks the machine.

FocusMeA list

The All BlockMouse + keyboard

Every other blocker operates on a list — sites, apps, or a list you’re expected to constantly update. Lists have limitations, and the urge to escape is remarkably adept at finding those gaps: the app you missed adding, the second browser, the phone hotspot, or the setting you can still reach because your keyboard still works.

The All Block doesn’t use a list at all because it isn’t blocking anything. Instead, it disables the mouse and the keyboard for the duration of the session. Not just the browser — the entire computer. There’s no app it overlooked, no window you can click into, because clicking itself has been disabled.

It seals the loopholes those apps leave open. It runs as an administrator, so nothing else can shut it down. It survives a reboot and reappears locked. Task Manager, Alt+Tab, and Ctrl+Alt+Del can’t break through.

Then the schedule removes the final barrier — you. A block that activates automatically at 09:00 was never a choice you made, and the urge to escape lives entirely within that decision. Place the Accountability Lock at the top, and even you can’t undo it.

Accountability Lock · part of Pro

Hand the key to somebody else.

A schedule only lasts until the person it’s meant to stop opens Settings and deletes it. So set a password, and let a parent, a partner, a friend — or your own steadier self, twenty minutes ago — be the one who holds it.

Blocks can't be edited or deleted
Blocks can't be switched off
The All Block can't be closed or exited
It rearms itself at every restart
Turning it back on never needs the password
Forgotten it? A link to the holder's own email releases it

One thing it deliberately leaves alone: the monthly emergency unlock. A lock with no exit at all is how somebody ends up unable to answer a phone call — so the way out stays limited and intentional, rather than vanishing entirely.

Accountability Lock×

The lock is on. Blocks can't be edited, switched off or deleted, and The All Block can't be closed until someone enters the password.

FAQ

If something goes sideways.

The questions that actually come in — and the way out of each one.

Still stuck? Email me directly — it's a one-person project, so it's me who answers.

A session started on its own, or in the middle of the night?

That's a scheduled block firing. Scheduled blocks run at their set time whether the app is open or not, and on a laptop they can wake the machine to start on time. Open The All Block → Schedule to change or remove one — a session you start by hand never begins on its own.

I'm stuck on the lock screen and nothing responds.

Press Ctrl Alt Delete and end The All Block from Task Manager. Windows reserves that combination system-wide, so the lock screen can never intercept it — it's always your way back in. To end the session properly instead, hold Esc for five seconds to spend a monthly emergency unlock.

How many emergency unlocks do I get?

One a month free, three a month on Pro, refilling on the 1st. Need another the same month, an extra Escape is £0.99 and never expires. Hold Esc for five seconds on the lock screen to use one.

Does closing the app or restarting my PC end a session?

No — it re-arms the same session on the way back, down to the time that was left. Ctrl Alt Delete → Task Manager is still there if you genuinely need out before the timer.

Is there a subscription?

There is one, and you never have to take it. Manual sessions of up to three hours are free forever. Pro is £7.99 a month or £34.99 a year, and if you would rather not rent anything, £49.99 buys it permanently — one payment, every future version included. None of it is needed to start: the free tier asks for no card at all.

Is the Android app available?

Yes. Download the Android app for manual timers, whole-phone blocking and schedules that sync with Windows. It is coming to Google Play soon; until then your phone will ask you to allow the install once.

Where does my data live?

On your machine. Session history, streaks and the Accountability Lock password never leave it. An account is optional — it exists so Pro survives a reinstall, and so schedules can reach the Android companion.

What if I forget the Accountability Lock password?

When you set the lock, you can add one email address for exactly this. It can be somebody else's — that is rather the point. We email a link there and nowhere else, and the lock comes off when that link is opened. The password itself is never sent to us and cannot be read or reset by us, so without that address the only way out is to reinstall.

My touchpad feels off after restarting during a break.

The All Block disables some touchpad gestures during a session and restores them after; a restart mid-session can interrupt that hand-back. The app repairs it on its next launch, or fix it now in Windows Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Touchpad → “Reset touchpad settings and gestures to defaults.”

First run

Windows will warn you.

The All Block isn't code-signed yet, and SmartScreen warns about anything unsigned no matter what's in it. So you'll see this once, on the first launch. Here's the way through it.

Click “More info” The warning says Windows doesn't recognise the publisher — not that it found anything wrong.
Click “Run anyway” The button only appears after the first step.
Click “Yes” on the admin prompt Admin is what lets The All Block hold the input lock against everything else. Without it, some of the blocking is skipped.

About

Why this exists.

The Developer's story

I was so addicted to video games and social media, that I regularly found myself awake in the late hours of the night, 3 or 4 am, gaming or watching some useless YouTube or Instagram video. I would be tired the next day, with barely enough energy to make it through the a day's work, study or to go to the gym.

I tried different app blockers to help control my screen time but they never really worked, because it was quite easy to bypass them if I was determined. And if they did, they would be aufully confusing, expensive, with annoying monthly subscriptions, and crazy prices to own any of them. Also, they would often only work on a single device, with a separate app for each device, which was a pain to manage.

That's why I set out to make my own app that would remedy all these issues at once. Windows and android are out, and macOS and iOS are coming soon.

The entire project was made, funded and maintained by myself, no team or investors, so your support would mean a ton!
