About this app

Take back control of your digital time and attention with AmniShield.

AmniShield is a distraction and focus manager designed to help you reduce screen time, stop mindless scrolling, and stay focused on what truly matters. Whether you want to block distracting social media feeds, lock apps during work or study hours, or filter unwanted content, AmniShield provides strict, on-device tools to build healthier digital habits.

KEY FEATURES

1. Smart Short-Video & Reel Blocker
Stop endless feeds without deleting your essential apps. AmniShield can selectively block short-form video sections (such as reels, shorts, and video feeds) inside popular social media apps while letting you use the core messaging and productive features.

2. Scheduled App & Category Blocker
Select individual apps or complete categories to block during specific hours of the day or days of the week. Set recurring schedules for study sessions, work hours, family time, or bedtime routines.

3. Website & Keyword Filtering
Block adult content, specific domains, and custom search keywords across major web browsers. Prevent access to distracting web pages automatically.

4. Strict Focus Mode & Launch Limits
Lock down your phone during dedicated focus windows. Set daily launch limits or maximum usage durations per app to prevent binge-opening.

5. PIN Protection & Anti-Uninstall Security
Prevent impulsive changes to your blocking rules. Secure your settings with a 4-digit PIN code and enable Anti-Uninstall protection to prevent turning off blocker services during active focus sessions.

6. Screen Time & Digital Wellness Insights
Understand your digital habits with clear, on-device usage breakdowns, launch frequency metrics, and short-video scroll counts.
