TaskBlue vs. AppBlock
AppBlock is known for hard blocks: strict mode, barely an escape. TaskBlue has a similarly strict mode, but goes further. The key sits off the phone, in the Focus Buoy via NFC, and every focus hour pulls real plastic from the sea, with WWF Germany and GhostNetZero.
What is AppBlock?
AppBlock: Android-focused, hard blocks, few escapes. Software only, with no impact on the real ocean.
The core difference
TaskBlue is the only focus app where every hour of deep focus pulls real plastic out of the ocean. No other product on this page turns your focus into measurable impact in the sea.
