On Android, Milo The Pup can block selected apps while a focus session is running.

Set up app blocking

1. Open Milo The Pup Settings.
2. Tap Usage access and allow Milo The Pup.
3. Optional: enable Accessibility for Milo The Pup. This helps the app detect app changes faster.
4. Return to Milo The Pup and start a session with at least one app selected.

When you open a blocked app, Milo The Pup shows a blocking screen until the focus period ends, you pause, or you stop the session.
