ForceOpen - App Redirect Tool

Open a distracting app, get redirected to a productive one — automatically.

ForceOpen is a digital wellbeing app that helps you break the habit of mindlessly scrolling through social media and video apps.

How It Works

When you open a blocked app, ForceOpen automatically launches a redirect app of your choice. Open Twitter and your reading app launches. Open YouTube and your study app opens. Simple as that.

3 Block Modes

• Force Mode — Always redirects. No exceptions. For when willpower isn't enough.
• Probability Mode — Set a pass-through rate so you can occasionally use the app.
• Permission Mode — Shows a confirmation dialog: "Do you really want to open this?" A 10-second countdown helps you think twice.

Flexible Set Management

Group blocked apps and redirect targets into sets. Create different configurations for work, study, or bedtime.

Timer

Block apps temporarily — "Block for 2 hours starting now." Select which sets to activate with the timer.

Key Features
