In this article, you’ll find everything you need to know about blocking or unblocking content using an **NFC tag** with Jomo. This is a great feature if you want to physically separate distractions (for example, keeping distracting apps at home while you’re at work, or work apps at the office when you’re at home). We recommend taking your time and carefully following the instructions.
