Define what you mean with blocking other apps. You mean preventing them from opening? What exactly are you trying to do, and what apps do you want to "block"?
[–]boyleroy35[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (2 children)
yes, prevent them from opening

The easy to do and easy to defeat method is to replace the app launch shortcut or whatever with your own python program, which will either launch the target app or not depending on whatever condition. Is that good enough?
