A quick check becomes twenty minutes.
One notification leads to a feed, then messages, then whatever the algorithm serves next.
Morning app blocker
Stop scrolling before your morning starts.
AM Buffer blocks the distracting apps you choose when you dismiss your alarm, for a morning window that fits your routine. Calls, maps, alarms, and other essentials stay available.
The problem: A quick check in bed turns into feeds, messages, and other people’s priorities before you have chosen your own.

Why morning scrolling is hard to stop
Stop the morning scroll before it steals your first 30 minutes.
Half-awake willpower is unreliable.
A morning app blocker changes what is available before you have to negotiate with the habit.
Your day starts in reaction mode.
News, work messages, and social updates set the tone before you have chosen what matters.
How the morning app blocker works
Block distracting apps after your alarm—in three steps.
Set AM Buffer the night before. When you dismiss your alarm, your chosen apps stay blocked for the window you selected.
Set your wake-up time and choose what to block.
Pick the apps that usually pull you into scrolling, news, or work.
Dismiss your alarm to start your buffer.
Your chosen distractions are blocked for 15 to 60 minutes. Essential apps remain available.
Repeat it for three mornings.
Keep your buffer, see your streak, and notice what changes before committing for longer.
A configurable app blocker
Choose how long distracting apps stay blocked.
Start with 30 minutes, then adjust your morning block around school runs, workouts, commutes, or quiet coffee. The goal is a boundary you can keep.
- ✓ Choose which apps are blocked
- ✓ Calls, alarms, maps, and other essentials remain available
- ✓ Add a deliberate emergency exit without making quitting effortless
