Digital detoxHow to Block Candy Crush
Match-three levels with lives, boosters and daily rewards. The archetype of the mobile game that takes ten minutes, several times a day.
How Offimo pauses Candy Crush
Offimo puts a short pause between the tap and Candy Crush, every time you open it. You can still go in, but opening it stops being a reflex and becomes a decision.
On the simple pause, if you still want in, you go in. For the days you have already decided not to negotiate, Commitment Mode makes the block firmer for the period you choose, and Emergency Unlock opens everything for 30 minutes if something real comes up.
Setting Up Candy Crush Blocking in Offimo
- 1
Download and Install Offimo
Get Offimo from the App Store and complete the short onboarding flow, granting the permissions it needs to intercept app launches.
- 2
Add Candy Crush to Your Protected Apps
In Offimo's app selection screen, choose Candy Crush from your list of installed apps. You can protect other apps at the same time if you want.
- 3
Customize Your Pause Settings
Set your preferred pause length (30 seconds is a good place to start) and choose the reflection prompt you'll see before Candy Crush opens. Adjust these anytime.
- 4
Use Your Phone as Normal
Keep browsing as you always have. The next time you tap Candy Crush, Offimo will show the pause first, then let you continue on if you decide you still want to.
Tips for Success
When Candy Crush usually opens
When lives refill, or in a short wait. A level takes a few minutes, and the returns repeat through the day.
What to protect and what to leave reachable
The pause suits a game: opening it is the habit, not the level. After the pause you can still play.
