About this app

Disconnect from your phone in order to reconnect with yourself, others, and the world. Start your challenge today!

Are you always on your phone? Do you live with a constant fear of missing out? Do you panic when you have no signal? It’s time for a detox. You can do this. We’re here to help.

Features:
⚫ Limited access to your phone during the challenge
⚫ Multiple difficulty levels with built-in accountability
⚫ Scheduling and whitelisting capabilities
⚫ Achievements and leader board at Play Games

Warning: XioaMi phones requires a special permission in order to open whitelisted apps. Please follow our guide here: https://team.urbandroid.org/ddc-fix-whitelisted-apps-on-xiaomi/

Automation

To start detox automatically from Tasker or similar:
- broadcast
- package: com.urbandroid.ddc
- action: com.urbandroid.ddc.START_DETOX
- time_extra: number of millies

Example:
adb shell am broadcast --el time_extra 60000 -a com.urbandroid.ddc.START_DETOX

Accessibility Service

In order to effectively block you from using the addictive and distracting apps the "Digital Detox" app may ask you to enable its Accessibility Service if you decide to use the cheating protection features. We use this service only to block you from leaving an ongoing Detox without paying an accountability fee or using a quit code (the cheating). We do not use the service to collect any personal information.

See how the use of Accessibility Service works in Digital Detox:

Device Admin

If granted by the user, "Digital Detox" app may use the Device Administrator permission to (and only to) prevent users from cheating - make uninstalling of the app during an active Detox harder.

Something about this just works for me, compared to other blocking apps. It's not about the money being a deterrent- moreso it's the way the app rearranges your screen to remove the unproductive apps from your view. I also love the black and white palette. One thing to fix: when I use my Journaling app, I sometimes want to add a photo. The camera, gallery and photos are enabled, but the app locks up and I can't restart it or proceed. I would like an option to force close/restart at least.

Hello, if the allowed app tries to use some system app, that was not added to the list of allowed apps, the protective screen will get triggered. On some phones, the search box for example requires "Google" app added to the list. Ideally, please use the Left ≡ menu → (?) Support → Report a bug, so we check, which package needs to be whitelisted.

An amazing app. Since the app monitors the time I use on my phone can you please add an app limit feature.like a feature that you switch on and it automatically causes a detox when a certain phone usage has been exceeded not when a detox is active. please also add a feature that blocks phone settings when a detox is scheduled. So far I've tried various app and this one is the most powerful and I fell with those 2 features it will become the best detox app

One of the only few semi-foolproof web/app blockers out there. Would be 5 stars, BUT... 1. When I update my blocked list of websites, the app will update to show the new keywords, but when I actually start the Detox, that list reverts and doesn't save. Big problem. 2. Can't add new keywords or websites during detox, despite there being a setting that says you can. 3. UI Overlap issue when using my own wallpaper setting. Fix these and it'll be 5 stars

Hello Nunya, you can block the newly visited site during the detox, you cannot alter the settings (list of blocked sites) during the detox. Which issue with the wallpaper do you have, could you please give us more details? Our contact is [email protected]. Thank you.
