# **How can you block apps on Mac?**

### Two options

1. **Only** – Blocks only the apps you select.  
2. **All Except** – Blocks everything except the apps you select.

1. Open **Jomo**.  
2. Click `+ New Rule`.  
3. Click `Recurring Session`.  
4. Go to **Block** > **Apps & Websites** > **Apps**, and choose the apps you want to block.

**Note**: If you're using the **All Except** option, be careful: **some important system apps might get blocked**. Make sure to add them to your allowed list, or when in doubt, use the `Only` option instead.
