How to Block Threads

How Offimo pauses Threads

Offimo puts a short pause between the tap and Threads, 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 Threads Blocking in Offimo

1. 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. 2

   Add Threads to Your Protected Apps

   In Offimo's app selection screen, choose Threads from your list of installed apps. You can protect other apps at the same time if you want.

3. 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 Threads opens. Adjust these anytime.

4. 4

   Use Your Phone as Normal

   Keep browsing as you always have. The next time you tap Threads, Offimo will show the pause first, then let you continue on if you decide you still want to.

Tips for Success

• •

  When Threads usually opens

  Right after Instagram, or on a notification that someone replied. The two apps lead into each other.

• •

  What to protect and what to leave reachable

  Each app has its own pause. Threads and Instagram are separate apps on your iPhone, so you can protect one, the other or both.
