About this app

Disconnect from your phone in order to reconnect with yourself, others, and the world. Start your challenge today!

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

To start detox automatically from Tasker or similar:
- broadcast
- package: com.urbandroid.ddc
- action: com.urbandroid.ddc.START_DETOX
- time_extra: number of minutes

Example:
adb shell am broadcast --el time_extra 60000 -a com.urbandroid.ddc.START_DETOX

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

Bought me so much time back, and I highly recommend it. It's so easy to get lost in the depths of scrolling your life away, or just trying to get a quick "dopamine hit" but there's so much in life that I think its at least worth it to check it our for yourself. This app allows you to have that time and cut back on the distractions. Amazing work.

This is a really awesome app. It is very unique in what it does, and I am finding it very helpful in my mental health journey! It does glitch out sometimes, but it's nothing major. It just seems like some bugs in the system that still need to be worked out. Overall I love the look of the app, but I would like a couple changes to the recommendations that scroll across the top of the screen during a challenge. They scroll so fast that it is stressful. I also with I could swipe them left and right

For someone who struggles with discipline when it comes to cutting back on phone time, this app is a game changer. Blocking safe mode during detox keeps the addict in me from getting his fix. The issue that's arisen is this: the feature that stops me from booting in safe mode also locks me out of biometrics and my swipe down menu; it also kicks me out of ongoing call screens. If there were a way to bar safe mode without creating the other barriers, the app would be perfect. For now, it's clunky.
