About this app

Are you tired of opening Instagram to check a message, only to lose an hour to the endless video feed? ShieldBrain is a dedicated tool designed to help you regain control over your attention span by targeting the exact source of digital distraction.

ShieldBrain is not a generic app blocker that locks you out of your entire phone. Instead, it serves as a specialized short video counter and blocker. It allows you to maintain access to your direct messages, stories, and main feed while strictly limiting your exposure to the infinite scrolling algorithm.

Features designed to restore your focus

Track Your Scrolling Habits
Awareness is the first step to behavioral change. ShieldBrain runs quietly in the background to count exactly how many short videos you watch in a single session. Understanding your actual consumption is a powerful tool to break unconscious habits.

Set a Video Limit
Take back your time by setting a hard limit on the number of videos you consume. Decide in advance how much time you want to spend on the algorithm, and let the app handle the rest.

Surgical Screen Blocking
Once you reach your predetermined limit, ShieldBrain intervenes. It detects the specific video screen and interrupts your session, breaking the hypnotic cycle of doomscrolling.

Regain your time, improve your mental clarity, and stop mindless scrolling today. ShieldBrain puts you back in charge of your digital life.

Primary Keywords: Reels blocker, endless scrolling, stop mindless scrolling.
Secondary Keywords: Short video counter, doomscrolling, digital distraction.

**USE OF ACCESSIBILITY PERMISSION**

ShieldBrain uses the Android Accessibility Service (AccessibilityService) to detect when the Reels screen is being displayed and to apply the Reels protections enabled by the user.

The Accessibility permission is required so that ShieldBrain can detect the Reels screen in real time and apply the protections enabled by the user.

ShieldBrain does not collect, record, store, transmit, or share screen content. Screen content is not sent to any server or cloud service. Data used for this functionality remains locally on the user's device.
