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.

I love the app! I am having one challenge I can't crack. I want to be able to listen to WhatsApp audios and Spotify with Bluetooth or without it while on detox. For some reason I can't turn the volume up, only when listening WhatsApp messages in my ear I get sound. Any troubleshooting tips? Update: your tip worked!! Thanks!

Hello Johanna, do you use "Silent mode" in Settings → During detox? Could you please contact [email protected]? You are very welcome :)

Very useful, it does what it says and more. it has helped a lot with my addiction to videos and social media. Interface can be a bit confusing and not the most intuitive. The homescreen it provides is also slow and unresponsive, which is frustrating but I guess it does the job of discouraging phone use so not really complaining here. also a bit clunky to set up, have to spend a while picking and choosing from all the apps on the phone ans there's no bulk options for managing profiles.

Really useful app! It has been a great help, especially before studying. However, I feel a few features could improve it further. First, there should be an option to disable phone reboot, preventing bypassing detox apps via safe mode. Second, a permanent adult content blocking feature would be highly beneficial, regardless of whether detox mode is enabled. Lastly, the ability to block specific apps for a set period would make it even more effective. Hope these features can be added soon!

Hello Jehad, there are some system limitations on the Android platform. The app cannot block any content unless it is running. You can configure the list of allowed apps and every app can have a different time limit. With the Accessibility service granted and running, the power-off dialogue is hidden.

What’s new

- Fix for first streak and first longest streak
- Resizeable widget with stats and my detox start button
- Minimal mode: Monochrome icons and black background
- Quickly access recent app
- Material date and time pickers
