About this app

AccessGuard is your all-in-one app blocker, screen time limiter, focus timer, and permission security monitor for Android. Take back control of your phone, break phone addiction, overcome digital distractions, and protect your privacy against intrusive applications with sensitive system access.

Whether you want to block social media during work, set daily app usage limits, schedule study sessions, stop doomscrolling, or detect apps with dangerous overlay and Accessibility permissions, AccessGuard gives you complete digital authority.

🔒 SMART APP BLOCKING & APP LIMITS
Block distracting apps and websites on your exact terms using flexible, customizable blocking conditions:
- Daily Screen Time Limits: Set daily time caps per app (e.g., 30 minutes on social media, video streaming, or mobile gaming). Once your usage budget is spent, AccessGuard locks the app for the rest of the day.
- Recurring Schedules: Automatically block apps during work hours, homework time, family dinners, deep work sessions, or bedtime. Create independent schedules for weekdays and weekends.
- Wi-Fi Network Rules: Block selected apps only when connected to specific networks—such as your office Wi-Fi, campus network, or home Wi-Fi—to stay productive where it matters most.
- Location-Based Zones (Geofencing): Automatically trigger app blocking when entering specific physical locations like your office, school, college campus, library, or gym.

🎯 FOCUS MODES & DIGITAL DETOX
Create dedicated Focus Modes to instantly switch your entire digital environment with a single tap:
- Pre-Configured & Custom Profiles: Switch between Work Mode, Study Mode, Bedtime Mode, Family Time, or create custom profiles tailored to your lifestyle.
- PIN-Protected Lock: Lock your focus modes and blocking rules behind a secure PIN code. Stop yourself from giving in to impulses, bypassing your own restrictions, or doomscrolling late at night.
- Strict Self-Control: Stay focused during exams, remote work, meetings, and creative sessions without relying solely on willpower.

🛡️ PERMISSION SECURITY SCANNER & PERMISSION MONITOR
AccessGuard goes beyond standard focus apps and screen time trackers by actively monitoring your device security:
- Accessibility Service Detection: Identifies apps granted Android Accessibility permissions—a powerful privilege frequently exploited by banking trojans, stalkerware, and screen-monitoring spyware.
- Display Over Other Apps (Overlay Access): Detects apps capable of drawing over your screen, preventing screen overlays, credential-stealing attacks, and tapjacking.
- Real-Time Permission Alerts: Receive instant notifications the moment an installed app gains sensitive permissions or escalates its privileges.
- Security Event Timeline: Inspect a complete chronological audit log tracking permission grants, privilege revocations, and security-relevant app modifications over time.

☁️ CLOUD SYNC & CROSS-DEVICE BACKUP
