Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to our Android launcher app ("we," "our," or "the App"), designed to help users reduce compulsive scrolling, manage screen time, and build healthier digital habits.

Our app provides focus sessions, cooldown periods, app restrictions, website blocking, focus modes, screen-time analytics, and optional parental control features.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. The app is designed with a privacy-first approach: your personal usage information and focus settings remain on your device. We do not operate a cloud service to collect or track your app usage.

By using the app, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Access and Process

To provide its features, the app may access or process the following information locally on your device.

A. App Usage Information

The app uses Android's Accessibility Service to identify which application is currently in the foreground and determine whether a focus rule should apply.

This information is used to:

• Detect when a restricted application is opened.
• Start and manage timed focus sessions.
• Enforce cooldown periods and daily app limits.
• Display blocking screens when necessary.
• Apply parental control restrictions.

The Accessibility Service is not used to read screen content, messages, passwords, keystrokes, or personal communications.

App usage information is processed locally and is not transmitted to our servers.

B. Website Blocking Information

The app may use Android's local VPN service to filter DNS requests and block websites that match your configured restrictions.

Depending on your settings, the app may process domain names, DNS requests, and blocking rules to determine whether a website should be accessible.

The VPN functionality is used for website filtering only. The app does not intentionally collect or transmit your browsing history, website content, or DNS activity to a remote server.

The VPN does not provide an anonymous internet connection or function as a general-purpose commercial VPN service.

C. Focus Sessions and Screen-Time Analytics

The app may maintain local records of:

• Focus session start and end times.
• App usage durations relevant to focus rules.
• Cooldown periods and daily limits.
• Blocked access attempts.
• Focus mode activity.
• Screen-time summaries and trends.

These records are used to display analytics and enforce your selected settings. They remain on your device unless you choose to export or share them through a feature that explicitly supports doing so.

D. Parental Control Information

If you enable parental control or child mode, the app may process the following information locally:

• Allowed and restricted applications.
• Child mode lock settings.
• Optional fingerprint authentication status.
• Daily screen-time limits.
• Application installation restrictions.
• Access to device Settings, where supported.
• Child mode and focus restriction status.

These features are designed to help parents manage device usage. The app does not require a cloud account to operate these controls.

Fingerprint authentication, when enabled, uses Android's supported biometric authentication mechanisms. The app does not receive or store the fingerprint image or biometric template.

E. Device Permissions and Notifications

The app may request permissions or special Android access required for its features, including:

• Accessibility Service access.
• Usage access, where required.
• VPN permission for website blocking.
• Notification permission for timers and focus reminders.
• Display-over-other-apps permission for the timer overlay, where supported.
• Launcher and application visibility access.
• Biometric authentication, if enabled.

Permissions are used only to support the relevant app functionality. You can manage available permissions through Android Settings, although disabling certain permissions may prevent associated features from working correctly.

The app may display an ongoing notification containing focus session information or a countdown timer. This notification is intended to support the focus experience.

3. How We Use Information

Information processed by the app is used to:

• Provide launcher and quick-launch functionality.
• Enforce focus sessions and cooldown periods.
• Block selected apps and websites.
• Apply daily screen-time limits.
• Support emergency access and temporary unlock timers.
• Enable parental control features.
• Generate screen-time analytics.
• Maintain the reliability and functionality of the app.

We do not use locally processed usage information for advertising profiling or behavioral tracking.

4. Data Storage and Security

The app is designed to operate offline, with its core features and rules processed on your device.

Focus settings, restriction rules, and locally generated analytics may be stored in the app's local database or other private application storage.

We do not operate a cloud database for collecting your focus history or screen-time information. We do not sell personal information or share your app usage history with advertisers.

We use Android's application storage and security mechanisms to help protect locally stored information. However, no storage method or software system can guarantee absolute security.

Your information may be lost if you uninstall the app, clear its data, reset your device, or otherwise remove its local storage. Data recovery may not be possible.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or share your locally stored app usage information with third parties for advertising or tracking purposes.

The app's core functionality does not require an account or a remote server to collect personal usage data.

If a future version introduces optional integrations, cloud synchronization, crash reporting, analytics services, or other third-party services, this policy will be updated as appropriate to describe the information involved and how it is handled.

Information you voluntarily export or share using your device's operating system may be processed by the destination application or service under its own privacy policy.

6. Children's Privacy

The app includes optional parental control features that help parents manage application access and screen time on a device.

Child mode may restrict applications, limit daily usage, hide access to certain device settings, and enforce other configured restrictions.

The app does not intentionally collect children's personal information through a cloud service as part of its core functionality.

Parents and guardians are responsible for configuring the restrictions appropriately and supervising device use. The effectiveness of restrictions may depend on Android version, device manufacturer, permissions, and system-level limitations.

7. Emergency Access and Focus Controls

The app may provide an emergency access feature that temporarily allows access to restricted applications.

When used, the app may locally track the duration and status of the temporary unlock so that the configured restrictions can resume when the timer expires.

Focus modes and other restriction settings are processed locally. These features are intended to help users manage their habits and are not guaranteed to prevent every possible method of accessing an application or website.

8. Internet Connectivity

The app is designed to provide its core focus and launcher functionality without requiring an internet connection.

Website blocking may require network connectivity to resolve DNS requests for the websites you visit. The local VPN processes requests according to your configured rules.

If optional online services are introduced in the future, their data practices will be disclosed in an updated version of this policy.

9. Your Privacy Choices

You can exercise control over your information by:

• Changing focus rules and app restrictions within the app.
• Disabling optional features you no longer need.
• Revoking permissions through Android Settings.
• Reviewing or clearing locally stored app data, where supported.
• Uninstalling the app to remove its private application data, subject to Android and device-specific behavior.

Revoking permissions or clearing data may disable features or remove saved settings and analytics.

10. Data Retention and Deletion

Locally stored information is retained for as long as needed to provide the app's functionality or until you delete it.

You can remove locally stored information by clearing the app's data or uninstalling the app. Certain information may remain in Android backups or other device-level storage if such backups are enabled and supported by your device.

Because the app's core usage information is not maintained in our cloud systems, we generally do not need to process a separate server-side deletion request for that information.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the app's functionality, permissions, or data practices change.

Any updated policy will be published at the designated privacy policy URL, with the revised effective date shown at the top.

We encourage you to review this page periodically.
