To ensure the app is effective, disable all system optimizations and allow the app to run in the background. For details and guides, visit https://dontkillmyapp.com/.

Xiaomi phones require special permissions to open whitelisted apps. 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
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 only use this service 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: https://youtu.be/XuJeqvyEAYw

Device Admin
If granted by the user, the "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 but since the last updste it does not let me use my keyboard anymore. For example: Spotify is whitelisted but I cant search for a song because apparently opening the samsung keyboard is cheating. It also closes the gallery even though it's whitelisted and I have no idea how to fix this. I basically want to get rid of all the distracting apps but keep apps like maps, spotify, gallery & capcut (for work). The App is pretty much unusable for me right now and i miss it!

Hello, on Samsung, the keyboard does not work if you enable Samsung's default off feature called Edge panels, and these apps must be added to the list of allowed apps as well to allow rendering the keyboard - com.samsung.accessibility, com.samsung.android.samsungpass, and com.samsung.android.spay. More details at support@urbandroid.org. Thank you.

Good concept, but some of the white listed Apps get blocked anyway. I needed to book a train ticket and my Digital Detox wouldn't allow me to complete the booking so I had to cancel the challenge for 1.99, which is ok if I had wanted to use an app I didn't put on the whitelist, but there it just felt off, because I was using a productivity app

Hello Fabian, the protective screen can be triggered within an allowed app, if this allowed app calls for an app, or a system component you did not whitelist. Please, contact support@urbandroid.org for a refund, and for more information. Thank you.

This is my favorite tech limiting app and I've tried a lot of them! It's got every feature I need, a super simple interface, and the devs always reply to emails if there's any issues. I don't just use this for a full detox, but it's also my app for scheduling focus times. You can set several different options like "work" and "family time" (you can edit the labels), and then use these for separate automatic schedules that block what you don't need for that time of the day. Perfect app, thank you!
