B-Simple: Simply Block Sites

Blocking websites is easy. Unblocking them can be just as easy, which is why most blockers do not work with you in a moment of need. B-Simple is built around that moment. When you block a site, you write down why. When you later try to lift that block, B-Simple shows you your own words, then asks you to wait, then asks you to type a phrase. Even then the site unblocks for only fifteen minutes before locking itself again. The wait is a gentle space between you and content you are seeking to avoid. Uninstalling is not obstructed. If you need this, keep it. Free features: - Block any site, including its subdomains - Your own reason, shown back to you at the moment you look to remove blocking - A wait you choose, from 10 minutes to an hour - Safe search for Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo - Recently blocked, so you can see what was caught and why - Warnings when something can bypass the app One premium payment adds: - A curated adult pack: around 4,750 sites, filtered to leave health, education and support services alone - Import your own lists: plain lists, hosts files or CSV, however large - Keyword blocking: block any site whose name contains a word you choose No account, no ads and no trackers. Nothing about you leaves your device. No subscriptions - one premium payment, if you choose. How it works: B-Simple uses Android's VpnService to filter DNS on your device. The tunnel is local: it carries no traffic to any server. Nothing you browse is collected, stored or sent. What this won't block: Blocking works by domain name, so it cannot block a single page or a site reached by a raw IP address. A browser using its own secure DNS will bypass it. Android allows one VPN at a time, so B-Simple cannot run alongside another. Think of this as help with the habitual path. The determined one will always find a way.
