Not Yet - Reduce Screen Time

You pick up your phone to do one thing. Then the app is open, and ten minutes are gone. It happened before you decided anything.

Not Yet puts one small step in the way.


HOW IT WORKS

When you open an app you blocked, Not Yet comes up first. To get in, you type a 4-digit code.

The code lives only inside Not Yet, and it changes every minute. So you cannot do it on autopilot: you have to leave the app, open Not Yet, read a fresh code, and come back.

That is the whole idea. It is not a wall. When you really need the app, you get in. Just not by accident.


YOU ARE NEVER LOCKED OUT

Not Yet is for stopping yourself, not other people. The code is yours to see. It only makes you pause and take a few steps first.

It will not keep anyone else out of your apps. If that is what you need, you are looking for an app lock, not this.


IT KEEPS COUNT

Every try is recorded, whether you got in or not. In the Stats tab you get:

- How often you stopped yourself
- Tries per day
- Which apps you try most
- The hour of the day you try most
- Any day, on its own


NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE

No account. No sign-up. Your data never leaves your phone. Your apps and your history stay on the device, and nobody else can read them.


ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE DISCLOSURE

Not Yet uses the Android AccessibilityService API only to detect which app has just been opened, so it can show the block screen before an app you chose to block.

This is required for the core function of the app: blocking the apps you pick, at the moment they open.

The only thing Not Yet takes from the accessibility service is the name of the app that opened. It does not read, collect, or store what is on your screen, what you type, or any personal or sensitive information. The only action it takes is to go to your home screen when you choose to leave the block screen. Nothing from the service is sent anywhere.
