Description

PlugBrain is an open source app that encourages regular breaks from distracting apps by blocking access at scheduled intervals.

Comments on PlugBrain: stop distractions for Android

★★★★★ Toast · Apr 14, 2026

Finally, a focus app which works. Of course, one needs to be able to access a browser in the real world (QR codes, links), so you can't use a normal screen time limit. However, it's way too easy to get sucked into YouTube otherwise. This app helps navigate that balance perfectly! (Feature request: I do wish it was more clear how the app decides the difficulty of the next math problem, and how quickly it decays off. The default is fine, but I wish I could set the decay time to be slower.)
