🛡️ ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE DISCLOSURE
This app uses Android's AccessibilityService API to detect when you open selected apps for phone addiction control. This permission is essential for monitoring app usage and providing time-based restrictions.

Key features
• Select apps you consider distracting (YouTube, Instagram, games, etc.)
• When a selected app is opened, an on-screen overlay requests the user to set an access time (e.g., 5–60 minutes) or cancel
• After the allowed time ends, the app is closed and remains locked for the configured lock period
• Helping to control the reels and short video addictions.
• Motivational messages encourage focus on real-world activities during locked periods
• All settings (selected apps and timer choices) are stored locally on the device

How it works
1. User selects distracting apps
2. Opening a selected app triggers the overlay
3. User consciously sets ACCESS TIME, LOCK TIME, and controls reels and short video addiction.
4. App usage is allowed only for the chosen duration; it is automatically controlled when the time expires

Child Mode Protection
• Gentle interruptions for younger users
• Progressive visual reminders and notifications
• Safe and educational approach to screen time
• Parental control with secure settings
