Description
Sown helps you take control of your social media habits by assigning a monetary cost to every minute you spend on social apps. Build healthier digital habits through financial awareness.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: This app uses Android's AccessibilityService API ⚠️
**Why Sown Uses Accessibility Service:** Sown requires AccessibilityService to function properly. We use this service exclusively to: • Track real-time usage of social media apps • Block access to these apps when your prepaid balance reaches $0 • Calculate accurate usage time.
The AccessibilityService runs continuously in the background to monitor when you open and close social media apps, allowing us to track usage duration and enforce limits based on your balance.
**How It Works:** 1. Add funds to your prepaid balance (virtual currency, no real charges in free version) 2. Set a cost per minute for each social media app 3. Sown automatically tracks your usage and deducts from your balance 4. When balance reaches $0, apps are blocked until you add more funds 5. View detailed analytics and insights about your usage patterns
**Key Features:** ✓ Real-time usage tracking with per-minute billing ✓ Automatic app blocking at zero balance ✓ Customizable rates for each social media app ✓ 30-day usage analytics and trends ✓ Success metrics showing usage reduction ✓ Visual charts and per-app breakdowns ✓ Low balance warnings ✓ Clean streak tracking ✓ Detailed billing history
**Privacy & Data Usage:** • We ONLY track usage of specified social media apps • No personal content or messages are accessed • Usage data is stored securely in your private Firebase account • No data is shared with third parties • The service shows a persistent notification while active
**Note:** You must grant Accessibility permission for the app to function. You'll see a detailed disclosure screen before enabling this feature. The app cannot track or block social media usage without this permission.
By using Sown, you're taking the first step toward mindful social media consumption. Turn your scrolling time into conscious decisions with real monetary consequences.

Great way of keeping me accountable with my social media limits

Literally charges you to use free apps. Like a lockdown timer that takes your money lmao. Just get a lockdown timer. Don't pay someone per minute to use a free app.

You have got to be kidding me. You want people to pay you REAL MONEY to help get them off social media? Absolute dumbest idea ever. Hey guys, you know that thing, social media, that's entirely free? Well do I have a deal for you, just pay me to use it instead! Absolute clown show of an app and quite literally a scam. Do better with your life dev because this for sure ain't it. Edit: Where? Where are the reviews from the "paying customers that like it"? I see absolutely zero. Dev is a liar.

This app is making me pay THEM for my apps!? Worst app ever. Why would I pay someone else for something they don't own despite doing nothing to deserve it? They have the audacity to say "our paying users love it" despite not having any good reviews and only about 100+ downloads. They are so lazy with support, they copied and pasted a short message and proved it by calling me someone else's name. That "support" is embarrassing. This is just a cash grab. They do nothing after making the app.
