Doomscroll Detox: App Blocker

Break the doomscrolling addiction and reclaim your focus with Doomscroll Detox.

Traditional app blockers force an impossible choice: either block entire apps and lose contact with friends and family, or leave them unblocked and fall into infinite scrolling traps. Doomscroll Detox solves this by surgically targeting short-form video feeds and infinite scrolling loops while keeping messaging, chats, and profiles fully operational.

🛡️ SMART FEED & SHORT-VIDEO SHIELD

Block addictive infinite scroll feeds where you lose hours:

• Instagram Reels & Explore feeds

• TikTok Video Stream

• YouTube Shorts shelf

• X (Twitter) algorithmic feed

• Facebook Reels & Watch tab

• Reddit Popular / Watch feeds

Keep direct messages, group chats, essential communications, and profile lookups completely accessible!

⏰ BEDTIME DOOM ZONE & SCHEDULED FOCUS

• Bedtime Doom Zone: Set automatic blocking during sleep hours (e.g., 23:00 to 07:00) to protect your sleep hygiene

• Deep Work & Study Schedules: Configure automated morning or afternoon focus blocks for work or study

• Weekend vs. Weekday routines tailored to your lifestyle

• Enforced natively at the Android system level — remains active even when the app is closed or after device reboot

⚡ INSTANT DETOX SHIELD

• Feeling an urge to procrastinate? Activate a quick 15, 30, 45, or 60-minute shield with a single tap

• Clean countdown timer showing your active focus session

🧘 MINDFUL PAUSE & BREATHING INTERVENTIONS

• Interrupt the automated scrolling reflex with calming interventions

• Guided Box Breathing and 4-7-8 breathing circle animations to reset your nervous system

• Intentional pause screens prompting: "What did you come here to do?"

• Adjustable friction delay timer (5 to 15 seconds) that gives your conscious brain time to step in

📊 SCREEN TIME & DETOX INSIGHTS

• Track blocked attempts and reclaimed hours

• Daily and weekly sobriety streaks celebrating your digital freedom

• Local offline stats with zero tracking or telemetry

🔒 ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE API DISCLOSURE:

Doomscroll Detox uses the Android AccessibilityService API strictly to detect when short-video reels, algorithmic feeds, or shorts player view components appear on your device screen, allowing the app to intervene and block mindless scrolling.

• No personal data, chat messages, typed text, passwords, or browsing history is ever inspected, collected, stored, or transmitted.

• All detection runs 100% locally on your device with native Kotlin performance.

• The service is used exclusively for app and feed blocking as permitted under Google Play policies.
