PeaceToggle – Screen Time App Blocker | App Limit for Reels & Shorts | Study Focus
Reduce screen time gradually instead of blocking everything at once.
You open the phone for five minutes. Two hours of Reels later, the syllabus has not moved.
The usual fix is to block everything. Day one feels great. Day three you turn it off, delete the app, and scroll twice as much. Hard blocking fails because it treats a habit like a switch.
PeaceToggle treats it like a dial. It leaves your phone working and turns your distraction time down slowly, week after week. You do not feel it happen. You just notice you have your evenings back.
Soft on you. Hard on the habit.

📉 WHAT GRADUAL LOOKS LIKE (an illustration)
Say Instagram takes 4 hours a day. A reduction schedule might run:
Week 1: 3h 30m - barely noticeable
Week 2: 3h - you stop opening it out of boredom
Week 3: 2h 20m - you start reaching for something else
Week 4: 1h 45m - the pull is gone
Your actual pace depends on your settings and how you use your phone. No cold turkey. No withdrawal. No app deleted in frustration.

KEY FEATURES
📉 GRADUAL REDUCTION, NOT A HARD BLOCK
PeaceToggle measures how much you really use each app, then shaves the daily app limit a little at a time. Drops small enough to ignore, repeated long enough to break the habit. A digital detox you can actually finish.
🛑 LIMIT REELS AND SHORTS, NOT THE WHOLE APP
Endless feeds are the problem, not the app. PeaceToggle reads what is on screen, on your device, and limits the time-wasting part while normal use keeps working. Keep chatting, lose the feed.
🧠 AI APP CATEGORIZATION
Every app is sorted into Pure Time Waste, Potential Time Waste, or No Time Waste, using on-device analysis with our categorization service. Study apps, notes, calculator and calls stay free. Social and gaming apps get the dial. Override any category yourself.
🔒 GENTLE LIMIT, FIRM LOCK
The limit arrives softly, but it holds. When the day's allowance runs out, that app locks. Unlock needs your password or a 6-digit code sent to your email, so a weak moment cannot undo weeks of progress.
👥 ACCOUNTABILITY MODE (OPTIONAL)
Hand the unlock password to a friend, sibling or parent. You keep studying, they keep the key. Parents can support a child's screen time goals without confiscating the phone. Strongest setting in exam season.
🛡️ COMMITMENT LOCK
Choose to turn on Device Admin and PeaceToggle stays put until you enter your password. For the days when future-you would quietly undo the progress present-you made. Optional, and you can turn it off whenever you decide.
📊 SCREEN TIME ANALYTICS
A full screen time tracker built in: live per-app usage, daily history, and a ranked list of your worst apps. See where the hours went and how far you have come.
🎯 YOU SET THE PACE
Slow and comfortable, or faster if you are serious. Choose which apps are monitored, which are limited, and how quickly the app limit tightens. Whitelist what you actually need.
🔏 PRIVACY, PLAINLY
- Screen text is analyzed on your device and never uploaded or stored anywhere else.
- Only usage summaries and classified app package names sync to our servers, over an encrypted connection, to power your dashboard and reduction schedule.
- Email and phone are used for login and the unlock code only.
- We never sell your data, and collect only what these features need.
Accessibility Service API permission:
PeaceToggle uses Android's Accessibility Service, with your explicit consent, to read on-screen text so it can tell whether content is time-wasting and limit distracting content inside the apps you select. This analysis happens entirely on your device; the text is never uploaded or stored off the device. You can turn it off anytime in Android Settings. The app discloses this use before you enable it.
Your phone takes four hours a day. PeaceToggle gives most of it back, one quiet step at a time.
