FocusGuard:App Blocker & Focus Live

# FocusGuard: App Blocker & Focus Take control of your screen time and spend more time on what matters. **FocusGuard** is a productivity and digital wellbeing app designed to help you reduce distractions, manage app usage, and build better focus habits. Whether you're studying, working, reading, or simply trying to spend less time scrolling, FocusGuard gives you practical tools to stay in control. ## Block Distracting Apps Choose the apps that distract you and decide how you want to manage them. • Block selected apps completely • Set daily usage limits • Limit how many times an app can be opened each day • Create schedules for when apps should be blocked • Manage individual rules for different apps Spend less time repeatedly checking social media, games, entertainment apps, and other distractions. ## Focus Sessions Need uninterrupted time to study or work? Start a Focus Session and temporarily restrict distracting apps. Choose from quick focus durations or create a session that fits your routine. You can also create reusable templates such as: • Study Session • Work Session • Reading Session • Deep Focus Choose which apps should remain available during a session so you can still access the tools you need. ## Strict Focus Mode For moments when you need extra discipline, enable Strict Mode to make it harder to leave a focus session early. It's designed to add extra friction between you and the apps that usually pull your attention away. ## Set Daily App Limits You don't necessarily need to stop using your favorite apps completely. Set reasonable daily limits and let FocusGuard help you stay within them. Once the configured limit is reached, the app can be restricted for the rest of the day. ## Limit App Opens Sometimes the problem isn't how long you use an app—it's how often you check it. Set a daily open limit to reduce habitual app checking and encourage more intentional phone use. ## Scheduled Blocking Create blocking schedules that match your routine. For example: • Block social media while studying • Reduce distractions during work hours • Restrict entertainment apps at night • Create distraction-free periods throughout your day ## Understand Your Screen Time See how you spend your time and identify the apps that demand most of your attention. FocusGuard provides useful insights into your digital habits, including app usage, screen time, focus activity, and trends over time. ## Track Your Progress Building better digital habits takes time. Follow your focus activity, completed sessions, streaks, achievements, and usage improvements to see how your habits change over time. ## Build Better Digital Habits FocusGuard isn't about stopping you from using your phone. It's about helping you use it intentionally. Block distractions when you need to concentrate, set healthier limits for apps you use too much, create dedicated focus periods, and gradually build a better relationship with your screen time. **Less distraction. More focus. More time for what matters.** FocusGuard uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect which app is currently in the foreground. This allows FocusGuard to identify when you open an app that you have selected to block and enforce your configured app-blocking rules. Accessibility Service access is used specifically for FocusGuard's app-blocking functionality. The service is not used to change device settings or perform actions unrelated to the blocking features.
