Block distracting or risky apps and set healthy screen-time limits remotely — no more battles over the phone at the dinner table.
Apps are where most of a phone's time actually goes, which is why blocking the right ones can transform a household or a workplace. MobileTracking's app blocker lets you disable any app on the target device from your dashboard. Games eating into homework time, social apps keeping a teenager up past midnight, or a particular app you would simply rather was not used — block it remotely and the change takes effect on the phone automatically.
For families, this is about balance rather than punishment. Most children are not trying to misbehave; they are up against apps engineered to be irresistible. Removing the temptation during school hours or after bedtime does for them what they struggle to do for themselves. It also turns a nightly argument into a quiet rule that simply exists, which tends to reduce conflict rather than create it.
On company-owned phones, the app blocker helps keep work devices focused on work. Blocking games and personal entertainment apps reduces distraction and data waste, and can prevent risky or unapproved apps from being used on hardware the business is responsible for.
The blocker works best with visibility. Our installed applications tool shows you exactly which apps are on the device, including ones that appeared recently, so you always know what there is to manage. From there, blocking is a click, and lifting a block is just as easy when circumstances change — a finished exam, a calmer weekend, a project wrapped up.
If your concern is the web rather than apps specifically, the site blocker covers websites in the same simple way. Used together, the two give you complete control over both the apps and the sites a phone can reach, all managed from one dashboard without ever holding the device.
Heads up: exact capabilities can vary by device and operating system. Our 24/7 support team can confirm what is available for a specific phone before you buy.
