• A health panel with your steps, heart rate and sleep from Health Connect (see below)

HEALTH CONNECT: STEPS, HEART RATE AND SLEEP
Phosphor uses Health Connect for activity and sleep tracking on your home screen. The health panel shows today's steps against a daily goal you set, your latest heart rate, and last night's sleep with its stages. An optional lock screen today line shows steps, sleep and heart rate. Phosphor only reads steps, heart rate and sleep, and only after you allow each one in Health Connect. It never writes or deletes health data, and nothing leaves your phone.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE
Phosphor has an optional accessibility service, "Phosphor lock", that uses Android's AccessibilityService API for one thing only: to lock the screen when you double tap empty space on your home, the same as the power button, so fingerprint and face unlock keep working. It is off until you turn on the lock gesture and agree to a notice. It does not read your screen, sees no other apps, and collects and shares no data.

ONE PRICE, YOURS TO KEEP
The Play price buys the whole app. Pro is a separate extra you never need. No subscription, no account, no ads, no analytics. Your calendar, notifications, app list and health data stay on your phone. Your location, rounded to about a kilometre, is only used for the weather and the world panels you add; the GPS panel shows your precise one on screen only. Neither is sent to us. The radio, news and cyberspace connect only when you use them.
