DTX blocks the apps and websites that pull your focus — then hands the keys to an accountability partner so the block actually holds. For deep work, for digital wellbeing, for focused study, and for protecting the people you love.
Free to try · Android only · Use solo or with a partner
Every blocker on the market has the same fatal flaw: you can switch it off the moment it gets inconvenient. A timer you can extend. A limit you can dismiss. An app you can uninstall in ten seconds. The very thing meant to protect your focus answers to the part of you that's trying to procrastinate.
It's the same loop whether you're a professional fighting the urge to check Instagram, a student who should be studying, or a parent watching a child slip into endless scrolling. You set the rule. You break the rule. Nothing holds.
DTX removes the off switch. Once a block is active, it cannot be bypassed, force-stopped, or uninstalled. And if you want, a partner holds the only key — so the decision to unblock is never one you can make alone in a weak moment.
Set a limit. A timer, a schedule, a screen time cap.
Hit a weak moment. "Just five minutes." "I'll start tomorrow."
Disable it yourself. Dismiss, extend, or uninstall in seconds.
Repeat. The cycle never breaks because you hold the keys.
DTX is different. No off switch. A partner approves every exit.
This is the heart of DTX. Connect a partner — a friend, a spouse, a coach, an accountability buddy, or a parent — and they hold the authority to approve or deny any request to unblock. You can't quietly let yourself off the hook, because the exit isn't yours to grant.
DTX works the same way for all of them: block what distracts you, and let accountability do the rest.
Block the apps and sites that fracture your attention during deep work. Run a focus session solo, or hand the keys to a co-founder or accountability buddy so you can't cheat your way back to the feed mid-sprint.
Set a school schedule that automatically locks distracting apps during class hours, study time, or exams. Students stay focused on learning, and schools get a consistent, tamper-proof way to keep phones from derailing the day.
Become your child's accountability partner. Safeguard their digital wellbeing by blocking harmful content, social media, and games — and approve or deny their access requests from your own phone. No arguments, no workarounds, no confrontation.
Breaking a doomscrolling habit, protecting your sleep, or simply reclaiming hours from apps designed to keep you hooked. Whether you go solo or lean on a partner, DTX holds the line every single time — exactly the same way, with no negotiation.
Block on your own, or add a partner for true accountability. Either way, once it's active, it holds.
Clean, calm, and built for the moment you reach for the wrong app. Swipe through the real screens.
Other blockers fail the moment your motivation dips. DTX was engineered so that a weak moment — yours or your child's — can't undo the commitment.
Use DTX on its own for solo discipline, or pair it with DTX Partner for full accountability between two people.
Whatever you're trying to protect — your focus, your sleep, your study time, or your child — there's a preset for it. Or build your own from scratch.
"I run my own business and I'd lose whole mornings to Twitter. My co-founder is my partner on DTX now — I literally cannot unblock without asking him. My focus has completely changed."
"Honestly I was sceptical. I've downloaded every productivity app going and deleted them all within a week. DTX is different because I physically cannot undo it when I'm weak. Three months in and it's still holding."
"I'm a freelance designer and deadlines are everything. I put my partner on DTX and told her not to approve anything between 9am and 1pm no matter what I say. That four-hour window has become the most productive part of my day."
"I have ADHD and every other blocker I tried just became something else to fidget with until I found a way around it. DTX doesn't give me that option and that's exactly what I needed. It outsources my willpower to someone who has some."
"I used it to get through bar exam prep. Gave my roommate the keys and told him the only valid reason to approve an unblock was an actual emergency. Six weeks later, passed first time. DTX didn't study for me — but it gave me the hours to do it myself."
"My 15-year-old has tried every trick — VPN, another browser, restarting the phone. DTX survived all of them. First time I've felt in control in years, and there's no nightly argument anymore."
"My son is 13 and was spending every evening on YouTube and TikTok. We sat down together and set up DTX — he actually agreed to it, which surprised me. Now he reads before bed. I didn't think that was possible anymore."
"My daughter is 16 and was staying up until midnight on Instagram. I set a sleep schedule through DTX and the first night she complained, but within two weeks she was falling asleep faster and waking up in a better mood. The data doesn't lie."
"I set Exam Mode to lock everything during study hours and gave my study buddy the keys. The written-request step alone made me stop reaching for my phone. Got through finals without the usual spiral."
