Are you always on your phone? Do you live with a constant fear of missing out? Do you panic when you have no signal? It’s time for a detox. You can do this. We’re here to help.

Features:
⚫ Limited access to your phone during the challenge
⚫ Multiple difficulty levels with built-in accountability
⚫ Scheduling and whitelisting capabilities
⚫ Achievements and leader board at Play Games

Warning: XioaMi phones requires a special permission in order to open whitelisted apps. Please follow our guide here: https://team.urbandroid.org/ddc-fix-whitelisted-apps-on-xiaomi/

Automation

- time_extra: number of millies

Example:

Accessibility Service

In order to effectively block you from using the addictive and distracting apps the "Digital Detox" app may ask you to enable its Accessibility Service if you decide to use the cheating protection features. We use this service only to block you from leaving an ongoing Detox without paying an accountability fee or using a quit code (the cheating). We do not use the service to collect any personal information.

See how the use of Accessibility Service works in Digital Detox:

Device Admin

If granted by the user, "Digital Detox" app may use the Device Administrator permission to (and only to) prevent users from cheating - make uninstalling of the app during an active Detox harder.

Ratings and reviews

Really good and flexible Zen mode. I used to use the Zen mode built into my One Plus phone, but when I got a new phone I didn't have that anymore. I tried several Zen mode esque apps but they all were easy to escape and regain control. This Zen mode I have not been able to easily escape (and if I do it can detect that and re enabled itself). This app also gives you flexibility to allow some apps during your phones lockdown, so you can put things like mobile authenticators and maps.
