AccessibilityService Disclosure:

Helm uses Android’s AccessibilityService API to power optional focus features. Specifically, this enables the app to:
Detect which app is currently on screen
Apply your custom block list to reduce distractions
Show a clean focus overlay during your scheduled or intentional focus sessions
We never read or store your text, passwords, or personal content. The service is used only to enforce your focus rules.
Enabling Accessibility is optional and fully under your control. You can turn it on or off at any time in Android Settings. Without it, blocking and overlays may not work as reliably on all devices.
