Obstrue requires the AccessibilityService permission to detect which app is currently active. This allows the app to block distracting apps and track your usage. No settings are changed, and your data is only used to help you stay focused. You must enable this permission for Obstrue to work properly

Obstrue is a comprehensive productivity app designed to help you take control of your time and stop wasting it on apps that distract you. With Obstrue, you can set limits on how long you’re allowed to spend on any app. Once you exceed that limit, Obstrue immediately pops up a notification to get your attention, helping you stay mindful of your time. You can customize the alert type to suit your style, choosing between a startling jumpscare, an engaging video popup, or an inspiring quote to keep you motivated.

Obstrue is more than just an app timer—it’s a full productivity companion, organized into multiple screens to support your goals and personal growth:

Statistics Screen: Track your usage with detailed insights. See exactly how much time you’ve spent on each app, monitor your daily or weekly screen time, and identify patterns that may be affecting your productivity.

Productivity Screen: Stay focused and organized with tools designed to boost your efficiency. Create to-do lists, set personal goals, and reflect on your progress with self-reflection prompts. This screen helps you turn your awareness into actionable habits.

Popups Screen: Fully customize how Obstrue interrupts you. Decide whether you want a jumpscare, a video, or a motivational quote to appear when you exceed your app limit. You can even tailor messages for different apps, making the alerts personal and effective.

By combining detailed analytics, practical productivity tools, and customizable alerts, Obstrue acts as a personal accountability assistant. It actively interrupts distractions, guides your daily habits, and encourages you to focus on what truly matters, helping you achieve your goals while reducing wasted screen time.
