Focused: Screen Time Control

Focused is a screen time control app and app blocker in one. See your real screen time, block Reels and Shorts without losing the rest of the app, set app limits that actually hold, and start a focus mode when you need to get work done. No account and no cloud: your usage data stays on your phone.

Screen time tracker
• Today's screen time against your daily goal
• Pickups, notifications, first pickup and late-night use
• Time and opens for every app, with an hourly rhythm and categories
• Day, week and month stats, plus history beyond Android's last 10 days
• Daily, weekly and monthly usage reports with PDF export
• Focus score, streaks and a usage timeline for each app

App blocker and app limits
• Daily time limit per app or for a group of apps
• Open limit: how many times a day an app can be opened
• Session limit: how long you can stay in one go
• Pause before opening: a few calm breaths before a distracting app
• Block an app all day or on a schedule
• A warning before a limit runs out, and a few "+5 minutes" a day

Reels and Shorts blocker
• Counts Reels, Shorts and Spotlight videos and the time spent on them
• Block only the short-video feed and keep messages and the rest of the app
• Or allow a daily number of videos or minutes
• A take-a-break nudge after a long run of videos
• Works with Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Snapchat; TikTok can be limited as a whole app

Focus mode and Pomodoro timer
• Single, Pomodoro or Deep focus sessions (Deep can't be stopped early)
• Whole-phone focus: only the apps you pack in your "suitcase" stay open; calls always work
• Optional Do Not Disturb while you focus
• Schedules for work hours and bedtime, including overnight
• Quick Settings tile to start focus in one tap

Website blocker and content filter
• Block or limit sites like youtube.com or reddit.com
• Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox, Samsung Internet, Opera, Vivaldi, DuckDuckGo and Kiwi, incognito tabs included
• Optional adult-site filter and your own blocked words

Programs to break phone addiction
• 21-day short-video detox, 14-day social diet, 7-day better sleep and phone-free mornings
• Rules that tighten day by day, with a badge when you finish

Strict mode
• While it is on, rules can only get stricter, never looser
• Optional PIN and a few emergency unlocks a day

More
• Home-screen widget and app lock with fingerprint or face
• Backup and restore, CSV export
• Light and dark themes with 10 accent colours
• 19 languages, including Hindi, Marathi, Bengali and Urdu

Private by design
No account and no servers. Your screen time and app usage are processed on your phone and never leave it. Only crash reports and basic app analytics (Firebase) are sent, to fix bugs and improve the app.

Permissions, explained
• Usage access: measures screen time, opens, pickups and notification counts.
• Accessibility service (optional, needed for the app blocker): detects which app is open so limits, focus sessions and schedules can be enforced, recognises Reels and Shorts feeds, and reads the address bar of supported browsers to match the websites you add. It does not read what you type, passwords or messages, and nothing is shared. You see a full explanation and agree before it is turned on.
• Notifications and Do Not Disturb (optional): limit warnings, the focus timer and summaries.

Focused is a digital wellbeing tool for teens and adults who want to use their phone on purpose and stop doomscrolling. It is not a parental control app.
