Accessibility Service Usage:

This app uses the AccessibilityService API to provide core functionality such as app and content blocking.

How it is used:
• Detects when selected apps or content are opened
• Applies user-defined blocking rules to limit access
• Helps users reduce distractions and improve focus

Important:
• This app does NOT collect or store personal or sensitive data using AccessibilityService
• This app does NOT change system settings without user consent
• Users remain in control of all features and permissions
• Certain features may temporarily restrict app removal based on user-defined lock settings, which automatically expire after the selected duration
• Accessibility permission is required only for core functionality and is always controlled by the user

This app is not an accessibility tool for people with disabilities. It uses the AccessibilityService API for user-controlled digital wellbeing features.


VPN Service Usage:

This app uses Android's VpnService API to enable network-level filtering required for certain core features.

How it is used:
• Uses DNS-based filtering to block access to explicit content through trusted DNS providers
• Provides an option to fully block internet connectivity for focused usage sessions

Important:
• This app does NOT route traffic to external VPN servers
• No personal data or browsing activity is collected, stored, or shared
• All processing happens locally on the device
• The VPN connection is used only for content filtering and internet blocking features

VpnService is required to reliably enforce DNS-based content filtering and full internet blocking as part of the app’s core functionality.
