About this app

🫁 **SOMA is a mindful app blocker that replaces screen time limits with breathwork and movement.** Instead of a timer you'll tap through anyway, SOMA requires something physical — the urge fades. You arrive at your feed on purpose, not on autopilot.

Place your phone on your heart. Close your eyes. Wait for the Pulse. 💓

🛡️ THE SHIELD

Block distracting apps before you even open them. Enable The Shield and every time you reach for Instagram, TikTok, or any app you find hard to resist, SOMA steps in with a brief physical reset.

🔓 THREE WAYS TO UNLOCK

🌬️ Breathe
A guided 4-7-8 breathwork session — 4 seconds in, 7 hold, 8 out. Your phone's motion sensor detects real chest movement, so you can't just set it on the table. Three cycles. About a minute. Worth it.

🚶 Walk
25 steps to break the loop (adjustable). Get off the couch, come back with intention.

⏳ Wait
Can't move right now? A 60-second mindful countdown with a touch-and-hold keeps the pause intact.

🔄 BREAK THE CYCLE

Whether it's a late-night TikTok spiral, compulsive Instagram checking, or losing hours to YouTube — SOMA is the digital detox tool that meets the habit where it starts. Not with a notification. Not with a timer. With your body.

Other app blockers frustrate you until you disable them. Screen Time limits last until you tap "Ignore." SOMA works differently: the breathing and movement create a real pause that changes how you feel, so the urge passes on its own.

🔐 PRIVACY

Everything stays on your device. SOMA uses the Accessibility Service to detect blocked apps and motion sensors to validate breathing sessions. No app usage data leaves your device. No account required.

⚙️ ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE

SOMA uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect when you open a blocked app so it can present a somatic reset — a brief breathing or movement exercise before you continue. When Focus Lock (Pro) is enabled, the service also detects uninstall attempts to keep your protection intact.

The service does NOT:
• Read or record any screen content
• Collect personal data or app usage analytics
• Control or modify other apps

App identifiers are anonymized and processed locally on your device. You can revoke access anytime in Settings → Accessibility.

For anyone who's ever opened an app they swore they wouldn't — SOMA is the phone addiction solution that replaces willpower with a physical practice. Stop doomscrolling, one breath at a time. 🫁
