App Groups updated to Block List and Allow List

Feature Requests 👀
#1

Hi there. I noticed after a recent update that I can no longer manage my App Lists from settings and can only do so they the list is selected and assigned to sessions. I also cannot delete app lists anymore :(. I really liked being able to hold myself accountable to using just a small handful but now I have a long list that I feel stuck with and cannot easily modify or maintain. Please bring back even if it’s just on the settings menu :pray: . It is very confusing to see this list and also to need to select each one to see how many apps and which type of block it is. Thanks yall :two_hearts:

Hey @building.jo,

Sorry for the confusion! To clarify, that functionality is not gone, it’s just changed! Here’s instructions on how to edit your Block List and Allow List in their new form:

So that is a bit better but still clunky. So I would need to select an app list for one of my sessions or create a fake session and then delete it from there (that is what I am looking at doing currently). It also looks like it added some random lists in that I know that I did not create and changed one of my sessions to it instead (although the list it created is similar to my actual list). Still not the UX I am looking for to be able to easily manage and consolidate my app lists so I don’t end up with a lot of them and also being able to see which list is for what (the old UX was really great for this). Thanks though, hope yall can resolve in the future.

Thank you for sharing this in such detail, and to explain how you’re using it. We’ll investigate for a solution.

When editing blocked apps, the currently selected applications are not displayed for deselection. Selected apps will appear as selected if searched for.

It would be much easier if the selected apps appeared on the initial edit dialog instead of the default category list.

Hey there @Rich_Rose,

Sorry for any confusion. It’s intentional that you are unable to edit a block or allow list with an app or website subjected to an active block. This is done so you can not edit an active Session and exit that block:
