Mindless: Mindful Screen Time

About Mindless: Mindful Screen Time

You don't have a phone problem. You have a scrolling problem.

Mindless helps you understand why you reach for your phone - and actually do something about it.

-- THE PAUSE THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING --

Every time you open an app you want to use less, Mindless asks one question: what's your intention?

That single pause breaks the autopilot. Knowing your screen time is 4 hours won't change your behaviour. Understanding the emotion behind it will.

-- AI JOURNALING --

Write about your day. The AI doesn't just store your words - it reflects them back with follow-up questions that help you see what you couldn't see alone. It helps you connect the dots between your scrolling and what's really going on: stress, boredom, anxiety, avoidance.

When you're ready to go deeper, Therapy Mode asks the questions that help you find words for feelings you couldn't name.

-- MOOD CHECK-INS --

Quick emotional check-ins through the day reveal connections you'd never spot on your own. Maybe you always scroll after hard conversations. Maybe Sunday nights are when you lose hours. Mindless tracks it all.

-- YOUR ACCOUNTABILITY COACH --

The AI on your home screen watches your patterns and gently calls them out. Not mean. Not preachy. Like a friend who sees your blind spots and helps you stay aware. When your screen time spikes, it asks why. When you hit a goal, it celebrates with you.

-- CONNECTED INTELLIGENCE --

Everything connects: journal entries, mood data, intentions and usage patterns. The AI remembers your history and builds a complete picture of your digital habits.

-- APP BLOCKING --

Block a distracting app outright, or set a soft block that opens only after you state an intention. Add schedules and daily time limits for the apps that take the most from you.

-- HOW IT WORKS --

1. Choose which apps trigger an intention check
2. When you open them, pause and state your intention
3. Journal when you feel like it - even 60 seconds helps
4. Check in with your mood through the day
5. Watch the patterns you never knew existed appear

-- ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE USAGE --

Mindless uses Android's Accessibility Service API for its app blocking feature. This is required so Mindless can detect when a selected app is opened and enforce the blocking rules you configured.

Mindless uses Accessibility Service to:
• Detect which app is currently in the foreground
• Check whether the opened app is blocked in your active profile
• Show a blocking screen or return you away from the blocked app
• Keep your configured blocking rules active while switching apps

What Mindless does NOT do:
• It does not read your messages
• It does not read typed text, passwords, or keystrokes
• It does not record audio or video
• It does not collect or sell personal data
• It does not share your data with third parties

All blocking and profile logic runs locally on your device.

The Accessibility Service is optional and must be enabled manually by you in Android Settings.

Mindless also uses Usage Access to show your screen-time insights and to enforce daily time limits.

Without these permissions the rest of Mindless still works - app blocking does not.
