A blocker you can't bypass, so the 1am spiral never starts. Schedule the cutoff once, and your keyboard and mouse are gone at bedtime until the timer ends.
Website blockers and app blockers are easy to argue with. You hit a paywall, you disable the extension, you're back on the site in ten seconds. The All Block skips the negotiation: once a session starts, your mouse and keyboard stop working system-wide, full stop, until the timer hits zero. There's no "just one more tab" — there's no input at all.
It's a single-purpose tool built around one idea: the only distraction blocker that actually works is one you can't casually click your way out of. Start a session and you're left with whatever isn't on a screen — a book, a walk, an actual conversation — until the timer decides otherwise.
A free alternative to Cold Turkey Blocker, Freedom, FocusMe, LeechBlock, and StayFocusd — for people who want a hard lockout instead of a blocklist you can just click past.

- Hard input lock — low-level Windows hooks swallow every mouse and keyboard event system-wide for the duration of a session, not just inside the app.
- Fullscreen countdown — a distraction-free, always-on-top lock screen shows exactly how much time is left, and re-asserts itself instantly if anything tries to shove it aside.
- Scheduled blocks — set recurring blocks that start themselves, so the session doesn't depend on you remembering to press Start.
- Accountability Lock — an optional password on schedule edits, so "just this once" takes more than one click to talk yourself into.
- Survives restarts — if a reboot or forced restart happens mid-session, The All Block picks the countdown back up where it left off instead of silently letting you off the hook.
- Session history — tracks focus time and streaks so progress isn't just a feeling.
- Runs as administrator — closes the "just kill it in Task Manager" escape hatch; Ctrl+Alt+Del is deliberately left alone, since Windows reserves that as a secure attention sequence no app can intercept.
- Follows your Windows theme — light or dark, matching your system setting automatically.
| Free | Pro — £4.99 one-time | |
|---|---|---|
| Manual sessions | 10 seconds – 3 hours | Same, plus 4/6/8/12/24-hour options |
| Scheduled blocks | Up to 3 | Unlimited |
| Max scheduled block length | 3 hours | 24 hours |
| Emergency unlocks | 1 / month | 3 / month |
Manual sessions are always free — the cap only applies to scheduled blocks. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Need just one more emergency unlock without going full Pro? A single Escape costs £0.99 and never expires.
Download the latest release from the Releases page and run it — no install required. The exe's filename carries its version (e.g. The All Block v7.6.8.exe), so it's always clear which one is newest.
Right-click → Run as Administrator for website blocking and the strongest input lock — The All Block still runs without it, just with a couple of protections skipped (the wizard will tell you exactly what's missing).
The All Block isn't code-signed (a certificate costs money The All Block doesn't charge you for), so the first time you run a freshly downloaded copy, Windows will show its standard warning for unsigned apps. This is normal, not a sign anything is wrong:
 1. Click More info |
 2. Click Run anyway |
 3. Click Yes on the admin prompt |
(Illustrations of the real Windows 11 dialogs, recreated for clarity — the actual wording and layout on your PC will match.)
- "Windows protected your PC" appears — this is Microsoft Defender SmartScreen flagging that the app has no publisher certificate, not that it detected anything malicious. Click More info.
- The dialog expands to show the app name and "Unknown publisher." Click Run anyway.
- Windows then asks to confirm the admin permissions the app needs — click Yes.
After the first run, Windows remembers your choice and won't ask again for that copy of the exe.
The All Block genuinely disables your mouse and keyboard for the length of a session — that's the entire point, so please use it deliberately:
- Start a session only when you're actually ready to lose input for that long.
- It's built and tested for solo, single-user desktops. It isn't designed as a parental-control or multi-user access-control tool.
A note from the developer:
I tried pretty much every blocker out there, and always found a way to sneak past them once I'd started — so I built one myself that wouldn't let me, or at least make it not worth my effort to bypass.
Entire project was by one person, not a company or anything. Just a small-time Irish design and software engineer without a team or investors, so your support and feedback would mean so much.
Got an idea or spotted a bug? Email me — I'd love to hear it!

The All Block ships free updates and support for both the free and Pro tiers. If you'd like to support development directly, the £4.99 Pro upgrade is the way to do that — it also unlocks longer sessions and unlimited scheduled blocks.
