Everything you need to take back control
Groundr combines smart app blocking, compassionate support, and progress tracking to help you overcome dating app addiction — building a healthier relationship with technology.
Smart Grindr Blocking
Schedule Grindr blocking periods adapted to your lifestyle. By time slots, daily limits, or continuously. The smart app blocker that actually works.
- Time slot blocking (e.g. 8pm-midnight)
- Daily time limit (e.g. 30 min/day)
- Day selection (weekdays, weekends, custom)
- Quick setups: Weekend Detox, Night Mode, Work Focus
- System-level blocking (hard to bypass)
