TapGuard - Click Blocker

Ever accidentally tapped the Instagram Repost button? Hit Share instead of Close? Triggered an in-app purchase with one stray finger?

TapGuard places an invisible blocker exactly where the problem tap zone is — and keeps it there whenever that app is in the foreground. No root. No accessibility service. Just a precision overlay that absorbs the accidental tap so you don't.

HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Open TapGuard and tap "Add Guard"
2. Pick the app with the troublesome button
3. Open that app — a draggable placeholder appears on screen
4. Drag and resize it to cover exactly the button you want to block
5. Save — TapGuard watches in the background and activates your guard automatically whenever that app comes to the foreground

Your guard stays invisible. Taps on the guarded zone are silently absorbed. Everything else works normally.

PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TapGuard uses two sensitive Android permissions. We believe in full transparency about why each is needed:

▸ Display over other apps (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW)
This permission is the foundation of TapGuard. It allows the app to draw a transparent overlay window above other apps — this is exactly what creates the tap-blocking zone. Without this permission TapGuard cannot function. You grant it once via Android Settings → Apps → Special app access → Display over other apps. The overlay is completely transparent and non-intrusive; it only absorbs taps on the exact zone you configured.

▸ Usage Access (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS)
TapGuard needs to know which app is currently in the foreground so it can activate the correct guard automatically. Android requires the Usage Access permission for this. Without it, TapGuard cannot detect when your target app opens and cannot show the guard at the right time. You grant it once via Android Settings → Apps → Special app access → Usage access. TapGuard only reads the foreground app's package name — it never reads app content, usage time, or any personal data.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRIVACY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TapGuard does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. All guard configurations are stored locally on your device. The app does not track you, read your screen content, or access your notifications.
