For the various blocking options, there is currently an intermediate state which is to block for an hour. It would be really useful if on the blocked -> unblocked transition there was also an intermediate 'unblock for an hour'.

 

This would really help in the circumstance where you are giving a student a window to view a video for class/homework, without the risk of not remembering to reenable the block afterwards.

  Good idea, that would be useful.

  If you have a blocking rule, you can go to rules, tap on the rule, and pause the rule for one hour.  Will this work?

  I think so. In terms of state transitions I imagine it just becomes symmetric. The button would do the following:

   

  Unblocked -> Blocked for 1h

  Blocked for 1h -> Blocked

  Blocked -> Unblocked for 1h

  Unblocked for 1h -> Unblocked
