Pause the internet for any app on a timer. On-device firewall, no root needed.
FreezeChat is a simple, on-device app firewall. Choose the apps that distract
you, tap once, and they lose their internet connection until your timer ends.
Everything else on your phone stays online.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Pause the internet for any app: messaging, social, video, games, browsers
• Start with one tap: 30 minutes, 1 hour, a custom time, or until a set time
• Use focus profiles: Work (2 hours), Sleep (8 hours), Deep Focus (45 minutes)
• Unfreeze any time, or let the timer bring everything back on its own
• See your focus history in Activity
• No root needed. Light and dark themes.
HOW IT WORKS: ANDROID VPNSERVICE
FreezeChat uses Android's VpnService to create a firewall on your device. Only
the apps you select are routed through it, and their network traffic is
blocked while a freeze is active. All other apps use your normal connection.
• The firewall runs entirely on your phone. There is no VPN server.
• Traffic is never read, logged, stored or shared.
• FreezeChat explains this and asks for your consent before Android's VPN
prompt. You can turn it off at any time in Android Settings → VPN.
Android allows one VPN at a time, so FreezeChat can't run alongside another
VPN app.
PRIVACY
Your app list never leaves your phone. FreezeChat collects only basic usage
statistics and crash reports to improve the app. No ads, no advertising ID.
Nouveautés
FreezeChat is now a full app firewall: pause the internet for any app you
choose, on a timer. New app picker with search, a clear privacy screen
before the VPN starts, and real activity history.
