“Just works. Sat down at my desk and my phone locked itself. Didn't have to do anything.”
Propellon Beacon
If discipline worked, you wouldn't be reading this.
The first app blocker your future self cannot disable.
★★★★★ 4.9
Four steps. Then forget it exists.
1
Place the beacon
Set it on your desk. It broadcasts Bluetooth continuously. No Wi-Fi, no charging, no maintenance. Five-year battery.
2
Choose the apps and set your schedule
Pick the apps you want blocked, then choose when your focus zone should be active.
3
Set the radius
Choose how far the beacon reaches from the app. Make the zone fit your desk, office, studio, or bedroom without locking the rest of your life.
4
Walk in. Walk out.
When your phone is in range of the beacon, the apps you chose are locked. Walk out of the room and they unlock. That's the entire system.
Surgical, not nuclear.
Propellon doesn't lock your phone. It locks the apps you choose. Your phone stays a phone.
The last blocker you'll ever buy.
One-time purchase. No subscription. 30-day guarantee.

Customer notes
What getting your focus back actually looks like
Marcus Chen★★★★★verified buyer
“I've tried Freedom, Opal, Cold Turkey, Screen Time, you name it. Every single one failed because I could just turn them off when I wanted. This is physically different. There's no button to press. I've been using it for two months and haven't cheated once.”
E.R.★★★★★verified buyer
“Screen Time's 'Ignore Limit' button might as well not exist. Propellon has no ignore button. When I'm at my desk, apps are gone. When I leave, they come back. That's it.”
David P.★★★★★verified buyer
“Honestly didn't think a little Bluetooth device would change anything. Was wrong. I never have to decide to block myself, it just happens.”
Priya★★★★★verified buyer
“Worth every penny. Setup took maybe 5 minutes and I haven't thought about it since.”
James W.★★★★★verified buyer
“The thing nobody talks about with app blockers is the mental overhead. You have to remember to turn them on, decide which apps, set a timer. Propellon has zero overhead.”
N. Kowalski★★★★verified buyer
“I was skeptical. A physical beacon seemed gimmicky. But the software approach never worked for me because I always found a way around it. You can't find a way around proximity.”
Alex T.★★★★★verified buyer
“Love that there's no subscription. Bought it, set it up, done. My desk is a focus zone now and I didn't have to do anything to maintain it.”
Rachel★★★★★verified buyer
“Been recommending this to everyone in my office. The concept is so simple it's almost annoying that nobody thought of it sooner.”
Daniel R.★★★★★verified buyer
“ok so i was skeptical but i shipped my first app after like 7 weeks of actually working. been 'working on it' for over a year lol.”
Sara M.★★★★★verified buyer
“I've tried Screen Time, Opal, Freedom, and Brick and bypassed all of them within a few weeks. I've had Propellon for about three months and haven't bypassed it once.”
James K.★★★★★verified buyer
“I stopped arguing with myself every 20 minutes about whether to check my phone. That back-and-forth was exhausting and I didn't notice until it stopped.”
