App Blocker: Focus Timer

App Blocker: Focus Timer helps you slow down before opening distracting apps. Pick the apps you want to be more intentional with, set a short pause, and use focus sessions when you want quiet time.

The app is built for people who want less short-video scrolling, fewer automatic opens, and a calmer way to stay on task.

Key features:

- Pause Gate before selected distracting apps

- Local focus timer for 25, 50, and 90 minute sessions

- Emergency passes when you really need to continue

- Usage Access support for local screen-time totals

- Setup diagnostics so you can see which permissions are working

- No account required

- No ads or analytics in the MVP

Privacy-first design:

The app stores settings locally on your device. Usage Access is used only after your consent to calculate daily foreground time for selected apps. Accessibility is used only after your consent to detect when a selected app comes to the foreground and show the pause screen. The accessibility service does not read screen text and does not retrieve window content.

Accessibility disclosure:

App Blocker: Focus Timer uses Android Accessibility Service only to detect foreground app changes for apps you selected and show an intentional pause prompt. This is core app functionality for the pause-before-opening experience. It is not used for advertising, analytics, account management, or hidden tracking.
