After months of careful development and testing, we’re excited to announce that Ainoa, our mindful app blocker for Android, is live on Google Play.
What is Ainoa?
Ainoa is a focus app that helps you take control of your screen time. It blocks distracting apps, websites, and even specific features within apps, like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, WhatsApp Status, and Snapchat Spotlight. You keep the apps you need while removing the parts that steal your attention.
Four ways to block
Not everyone’s distractions look the same, so Ainoa offers four types of blocking schedules:
- Time-based: block apps during specific hours. Perfect for work, study, or bedtime.
- Usage limits: set a daily time cap. Once you’ve used your allotted time, the app is blocked for the rest of the day.
- Launch counts: limit how many times you can open an app per day. Great for breaking the habit of constant checking.
- Location-based: block apps when you’re at a specific place, like your office or school. Apps unblock automatically when you leave.
For quick, unscheduled focus sessions, Quick Block lets you start blocking instantly with a single tap, with optional timer support.
Zen Mode
The biggest challenge with any blocker is the temptation to just turn it off. Zen Mode locks your blocking settings so you can’t make impulsive changes. Choose from multiple unlock methods (PIN code, timer, charger-based, cooldown, or math problems) to find the right balance between commitment and flexibility.
Insights that matter
Ainoa tracks your progress with detailed daily and weekly statistics: screen time, blocked attempts, focus streaks, longest focus stretches, and more. Switch between Day and Week views to see your trends over time.
Built with privacy in mind
Ainoa has no ads, collects no personal data, and shares nothing with third parties. All your data stays on your device. We believe a focus app should respect your attention, not monetize it.
What’s included
Ainoa is free to use with core blocking features. The free tier includes 2 blocked apps, 2 blocked URLs, and 1 schedule. Premium unlocks unlimited everything: apps, URLs, keywords, schedules, location-based blocking, all Zen Mode methods, and cloud backup.
50+ languages
Ainoa supports over 50 languages out of the box, including English, Finnish, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Chinese, and many more. The entire app, including the motivational messages on the block screen, is fully translated.
