Location-based app blocking

Have you checked it on Project Progress ? YES

This is a feature request for location-based rules for app blocking. Similar functionality is available in AppBlock.

This could be implemented via:

• Using location: If current location is close to the specified block location (configurable distance threshold) --> block the app. If location service is unavailable --> block the app.
• Using nearby WiFi networks as a proxy for location: if the list of currently available WiFi networks includes a network from an app block list --> block the app. If WiFi is disabled --> block the app.

Well this seems like a good feature but it will surely take more time than usual as i haven't worked with these APIs. And one more thing to consider that Mindful is offline by nature so instead of location based blocking we can go for available networks based.

I am working on major required features right now but one day..

Just another argument for using WiFi networks instead of location: from my experience using AppBlock, location detection was unreliable at times. I see they now also implemented blocking by WiFi networks.
