AppBrake: Screen Time Pause Live

Take back control of your screen time with AppBrake. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ACCESSIBILITYSERVICE API DISCLOSURE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ AppBrake uses the Android AccessibilityService API to support its core digital wellbeing and screen-time management features. • Purpose of Usage: AppBrake uses the AccessibilityService API to detect in real-time when user-selected distracting apps are launched in the foreground. This allows AppBrake to present an intentional pause challenge (mindful reflection, breathing cycle, or question) before temporary access is granted. • Information Accessed: The AccessibilityService API is used exclusively to monitor window state change events (detecting the active package name) to identify when an application you chose to protect is opened. • Privacy & Data Protection: - AppBrake does NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal or sensitive user data. - AppBrake does NOT read or monitor on-screen content, text, passwords, or personal messages. - AppBrake does NOT perform clicks, gestures, or alter system settings on your behalf. - All detection operates 100% locally on your device. Granting Accessibility permission is strictly optional, requires your explicit consent, and can be disabled at any time in your device settings. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Do you find yourself reflexively opening Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, or Reddit without thinking? AppBrake introduces mindful friction before you scroll—helping you break impulsive habits, pause, reflect, and make intentional choices with your time. ✦ KEY FEATURES 1. 5 Mindful Challenge Modes • Guided Breathing Exercises: Reset your nervous system with a calming 14-second guided breath (Inhale, Hold, Exhale). • Thoughtful Quotes: Take a moment to read philosophical and motivational insights. • Vocabulary Mastery: Learn new words, definitions, and pronunciations during your pause. • Trivia & Logic Questions: Wake up your brain with stimulating multiple-choice questions. • Spiritual & Universal Reflections: Ground yourself with moments of mindfulness and calm. 2.
