About this app

Take back control of your screen time with Smiloo, the app blocker that makes focus fun and engaging.

Smiloo helps you pause before opening distracting apps by asking you to make a playful facial expression, turning mindless scrolling into a mindful choice.

This app uses the AccessibilityService API to detect when you open selected apps and to show an overlay that adds a short, expression‑based challenge before you can continue. The AccessibilityService is used only to help you block or pause access to chosen apps and support your digital wellbeing. It does not read or collect the content you view, does not log your input, and is never used for advertising, monitoring, or any other purpose outside of app blocking and focus features.

HOW SMILOO WORKS
Choose the apps that distract you most. When you try to open them, Smiloo asks you to make a facial expression like a smile, wink, or surprised face. This brief pause creates a mindful moment that helps you decide if you really need to use that app. It sounds simple because it is, and it works.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF APP BLOCKER
Traditional blockers just lock you out completely. Smiloo takes a smarter approach. Instead of harsh restrictions that you eventually disable, it adds a playful challenge that interrupts automatic scrolling behavior. Users report saving hours each day by becoming more intentional about their phone use.

FEATURES
Expression-Based Unlocking
Choose from over 15 different facial expressions to unlock your blocked apps. Each one becomes a small moment of mindfulness.

Real-Time Detection
Powered by advanced facial recognition technology that works accurately in various lighting conditions and responds instantly to your expressions.

Your Privacy Matters
All expression detection happens entirely on your device. Your facial data is never stored or transmitted. We cannot see your face, and we designed it that way.

Accessibility-Based App Blocking
Smiloo uses the AccessibilityService API to know when a blocked app is opened and to display an interruption screen. This allows it to enforce your app blocking rules even when other methods are unreliable, especially on different Android devices and versions.

Track Your Progress
View detailed statistics showing your focus streaks, blocked attempts, and weekly progress reports on your digital wellbeing journey.

PREMIUM INCLUDES
Block unlimited apps instead of just one. Access all expression types for more variety. Get priority support when you need help.
BUILT FOR
Students preparing for exams. Professionals seeking productivity. Anyone reducing social media time. Parents modeling healthy habits. People with ADHD managing impulses.

THE APPROACH
Adding small friction before habitual behaviors helps break automatic patterns. The moment it takes to make an expression engages your conscious mind, giving you the chance to make a real choice about how you spend your time.
