Android App: Block websites based on keywords - PMC - 02-07-2020

Hi, 

Quick tip: you can add keywords or phrases one by one to the 'websites' list and the app will block them. You are not restricted to using URLs only.

It's a manual process so I'm really looking forward to the day regex is added to the app to improve this but thought I would mention this tip here because this functionality is not mentioned in the support docs and it's not obvious in the app. 

Best,
Paul

Welcome to the community, Paul!
 
Very useful and powerful tip you shared with us there! I am sure it would help a lot until regex is implemented. Since you have that idea in mind, I would like to invite you to FocusMe Roadmap, there you can pitch in your ideas and other users can up-vote it. It 's a great way for our development team to track and prioritize ideas depending on demand.  Smile

Hi there! Just want to share that Regex is available on Windows/Mac. Smile

As for the Android version, we're currently working on redesigning and reprogramming it. We'd surely let you guys know as soon as there's an update.

In the meantime, please keep the feature requests coming. We want to know how else we can help you guys!

Looks like a great idea. I have never heard of it. Blocking URLs using keywords! WOW!
Who came up with this mobile app development services idea? Blocking URLs take a great deal of effort. Filtering the sites is a mountain effort. But this one looks like a cool idea. Thank you for sharing.
