Dopamine Guard: App Blocker

Dopamine Guard is a focus-protection app built around the intent you want to protect.

Most screen-time tools start with what to block. Dopamine Guard starts with what you're protecting — launching your app, learning a language, sleeping better — and builds your protection around it.

Protected Intent — A short quiz captures what you're trying to protect, what steals your best hours, and when you lose control most often.

Your Personal Guard Plan — Get a plan matched to your risk window and triggers: a recommended guard mode, focus block size, and the companion that fits your style.

Protected Focus — Run calm, distraction-aware focus sessions with a drift-proof timer, pauses that don't cheat you, and honest completion summaries. Ending early still counts what you protected — no shame mechanics, ever.

Guard Companions — Kiro, Nara, and Miko grow with your focus energy. Bond levels, habitats, and achievements reward protection, never punish slips.

Reports — See your protected minutes, strongest days, and weakest windows from your real local data.

Private by design — Dopamine Guard is local-first. Everything works without an account. If you sign in, only safe data syncs (your plan, focus history summaries, companion progress). Which apps you select for protection stays on your device — always.

Dopamine Guard Pro unlocks unlimited guard modes, strict protection modes, longer focus blocks, and more. Monthly, yearly (7-day free trial), and lifetime options.

Dopamine Guard supports focus habits. It is not a medical product and does not diagnose or treat any condition.


Accessibility Service

Dopamine Guard uses the Android AccessibilityService API to detect when you open an app that you have personally selected for blocking. This allows Dopamine Guard to display a blocking screen and help you pause before using distracting apps.

The AccessibilityService is activated only after you explicitly enable it in Android settings. Dopamine Guard does not use this service to read passwords, messages, typed text, or the content displayed inside other apps. Accessibility data is not sold or used for advertising. You can disable the service at any time in your device settings.
