Release Notes

Version 2.3

New in this update:

• Smarter setup: We now ask what distracts you the most and show exactly how much blocking it is worth for your focus.
• Updated free plan: Includes 2 apps, 2 sessions per day, and 25 minutes per session.
• Clearer streaks: Your streak now shows when it's not protected, so you always know where you stand.
• Better stats control: Historical stats are now a Pro feature. Today's stats remain free for everyone.
• Weekly report: Unlocks after your first full week so you can see your progress sooner.

Bug fixes and stability improvements.

Version 2.0: A complete rebuild

This is the biggest update I've ever shipped.

Over the past months, I rebuilt StrictBlock from scratch to make it faster, harder to bypass, and actually enjoyable to use every day.

✨ What's new

• New UI: Cleaner, minimal, built for focus
• Stronger blocking: More resilient app & site locks
• Focus stats: See your time, streaks, and patterns
• Widgets: Track your progress right from your Home Screen

🛠 Improvements

• Better performance (less battery usage)
• More reliable scheduling

This isn't just an update. It's a reset.

Thanks for being here.

Version 1.2.0: Glancing at Progress

A quick update focused on making your focus data more accessible. You shouldn't have to open the app to stay accountable.

✨ New

• Interactive Widgets: Check your current session status and streak directly from your Home Screen.
• Visual Polish: Refined the daily grid design to make your behavioral patterns easier to spot at a glance.

🛠️ Improved

• Widget Sync: Fixed a delay where the streak count wouldn't update immediately after a session.
• Low Power Mode: Optimized background activity to ensure scheduled blocks still trigger reliably.

Small tweaks, big focus. Keep that streak going.
