About this app

Are you or your child stuck in an endless doom scrolling loop? SmolSteps is a screen time parental control app that turns mindless scrolling into moments of growth, learning, and mindfulness.

Instead of strictly locking you out of your device, SmolSteps uses a "gentle interruption" method.

HOW IT WORKS:
• Set Your Limits: Parents or users easily configure parameters like session limits, color suppression time, and learning mode time.
• Activate Healthy Time: Simply toggle on "Healthy Time" to start the session.
• The Grayscale: When the color suppression time is reached, your screen fades to grayscale, a proven psychological cue that makes the device less stimulating and encourages you to put it down.
• Educational Interruption: If the device is still being used when the learning mode time is reached, SmolSteps gently interrupts the screen with a custom video from your library, turning wasted time into a productive learning moment.

Trust the process. Small steps shape lasting habits.

CORE FEATURES:
• Custom Content Library: Add your own educational videos or custom content directly to the app. You decide exactly what plays during an interruption!
• 100% Offline & Private: Your data stays yours. SmolSteps works completely offline and features absolutely no data tracking, data mining, or data harvesting.
• Smart App Interruption: Break the dopamine cycle seamlessly with timed grayscale warnings and video breaks.
• Built for Parents: Perfect for parents wanting to introduce microlearning to their kids.

ACCESSIBILITYSERVICE API DISCLOSURE:
- SmolSteps requires the use of the AccessibilityService API to detect when to trigger the grayscale and educational video interruption features. This API is used exclusively to monitor app activity for screen-time enforcement. SmolSteps strictly respects your privacy: absolutely no personal data, screen content, or typing behavior is collected, stored, transmitted, or shared using this service.
