Otama: Screen Time App Blocker

Otama is a screen time app blocker and minimalist Android launcher designed to help you block distracting apps, reduce phone usage, stop doomscrolling and stay focused. Use Otama as your home screen, choose the apps that distract you, and add intentional friction before they open. Instead of entering social media, games or entertainment apps automatically, you can go home, fight the urge or complete a challenge to unlock a limited access window. Screen Time App Blocker • Block distracting apps and social media apps • Set global or individual daily app time limits • Choose a timed access window after unlocking • Save unused allowance for later in the day • Add cooldowns before blocked apps can reopen • Use Quick Block when you need immediate focus • Hide apps from your launcher without uninstalling them Minimalist Launcher and Dumb Phone-Style Home Screen Replace a busy Android home screen with a clean minimalist launcher. Choose a simple Minimal layout or a more flexible Productivity layout while keeping distractions out of sight. • Fast app search and an organized app list • Quick Opens for essential apps • Custom themes, layouts, clocks and navigation • Notes, checklists, habit tracking and countdown widgets • Saved links and a scratch pad • A calmer alternative to a traditional icon-heavy launcher Solve to Open App Challenges Make distracting apps harder to open on autopilot. Assign a challenge and difficulty to each protected app. Challenges include: • Math and number games • Pattern, visual, verbal and number memory • Number Flash and the Number Test • Snake, chess and slide puzzles • Number Table, card matching and word challenges App Limits, Focus Mode and Routines Use Otama as a focus app for studying, work and deep-focus sessions. • Start Focus sessions with selected apps blocked • Use a Pomodoro-style focus timer • Create scheduled app-blocking routines • Build one-tap routines for recurring situations • Choose Casual mode for flexible screen time control • Choose Committed mode when you want stronger friction Privacy and Permissions Your launcher layout, blocked-app settings, limits and routines are stored on your device. Otama uses Android Usage Access to detect when a protected app opens and “Display over other apps” to show the blocking shield. Otama does not read the content inside protected apps. Some challenges, widgets, themes and stronger blocking controls require Otama Pro. Otama combines a screen time limiter, social media blocker, focus timer, productivity launcher and digital detox tools in one intentional Android home screen.
