About this app
Are you losing hours every day to mindless scrolling?
MindGuard is the ultimate productivity and screen time app designed to cure doom-scrolling. Standard app blockers lock you out of entire apps, making you miss important direct messages or updates. MindGuard is different: it surgically blocks only the addictive short-video feeds while letting you use the rest of the app normally.
Reclaim your attention span, boost your focus, and take back your day.
π₯ HOW MINDGUARD WORKS
Instead of blocking Instagram, YouTube, or Facebook completely, MindGuard detects when you enter the "Reels" or "Shorts" tab and instantly kicks you out, saving your brain from the dopamine loop. For 100% short-form apps like TikTok, it blocks the app entirely during your focus hours.
π KILLER FEATURES
β’ Surgical Feed Blocking: Blocks Reels, Shorts, and TikTok without blocking your DMs, feed posts, or long-form videos.
β’ The "Math Lock" (Strict Mode): Trying to turn the block off because you have an urge to scroll? MindGuard forces you to solve 5 complex math equations before you can disable it. By the time you finish the math, the urge is gone!
β’ Notification Assassin: Social media uses algorithmic notifications to drag you back in. MindGuard intercepts and deletes addictive push notifications during your focus hours.
β’ Scheduled Focus Hours: Automatically block short-form videos during work, study, or sleep hours.
β’ Cheat-Proof Settings Guard: Prevents you from bypassing the app by blocking access to the Android Accessibility settings during active hours.
π― PERFECT FOR:
β’ Students studying for exams
β’ Professionals needing deep work and ADHD focus
β’ Anyone trying to do a dopamine detox and lower screen time
π PRIVACY FIRST & PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED
MindGuard operates 100% locally on your device. We do not collect, store, or share your personal data.
Note: This app uses the Android AccessibilityService API strictly to detect when short-video UI elements (like Reels or Shorts tabs) appear on your screen so it can block them. It also uses the NotificationListenerService to silence algorithmic push notifications.
Take control of your phone. Stop scrolling, start living. Download MindGuard today.
