Switchly is an open source Android app blocker
If you are looking for a free open source app blocker for Android, Switchly combines profiles, website blocking, in-app blocking, daily limits by time and attempts, statistics, schedules, and optional NFC, QR, barcode, and paired-tag workflows in one app.
What you get with Switchly
Built for people who want stronger focus controls without giving up flexibility.
The newest public release source is published on GitLab, contributions are welcome, and the project already has community forks.
Switchly combines app blocking, website blocking, in-app blocking, app limits by time and attempts, and usage statistics in the same workflow.
Use schedules, NFC, QR, barcodes, Quick Tile controls, and paired tags depending on how strict or flexible you want the setup to feel.
Use Google Play for the easiest install or the APK archive on this site if you prefer direct downloads and version notes.
Good fit if you want
Switchly can fit well if you want Android-focused blocking with open source code, profiles, website rules, and optional friction through tags or codes.
Instead of only blocking whole apps, Switchly can also block selected distraction surfaces in supported apps, such as reels- or shorts-style sections.
Use time limits, attempt limits, and statistics to see opens, blocked attempts, and usage trends instead of relying on guesswork.
