I need an Android-only app that stops the endless scroll on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, while giving users a live view of exactly how long they spend on each of those platforms. The core idea is simple: whenever the user activates Focus Mode inside the app, vertical scrolling, shorts, reels or any other auto-play feed in the three selected social media apps must be completely blocked until the timer ends or the user explicitly unlocks it with a PIN. Real-time tracking is essential. The moment any of the three apps comes to the foreground, a counter should start and update on a small overlay or notification, then roll straight into a dashboard that shows current session length, total time today and historical charts. No scheduled daily or weekly batches—everything updates instantly. Please implement with standard Android tools (Kotlin or Java, Android SDK, AccessibilityService and UsageStatsManager for detection, Room/SQLite for local storage, MPAndroidChart or a similar lightweight library for the graphs) and keep battery usage low. The solution must comply with Google Play policy regarding accessibility and data privacy. Deliverables: • Signed, installable APK for testing • Full commented source code in Git • Brief setup/documentation file • A one-page test plan demonstrating: – scrolling/shorts blocked on all short video apps Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, tiktock or others too, – analytics panel updating in real time (<3-second delay), – battery impact under 5 % over a 4-hour test. Once these points are met and verified on Android 11-14 devices, the project will be considered complete.

Read the spec — Kotlin Android app using AccessibilityService to block vertical scroll / shorts / reels on FB / IG / TikTok / YT / Snap, plus UsageStatsManager for foreground time-tracking, written to Room and graphed via MPAndroidChart. PIN-gated unlock and a live overlay/notification counter under the 3s target. We've shipped focus / parental-control style Android apps before — battery-aware AccessibilityService with throttled event sampling, Room schema for sessions + daily aggregates, Compose dashboard. On your clarification — happy either way: scroll/feed-only blocking (cleaner Play policy footprint), or full app lockout via Accessibility blocker + LauncherActivity gate. Distribution-wise, Play Store works for scroll blocking; full lockout may need sideload, your call. Tested on Android 11–14, signed APK + Git source + setup doc + the 4-hour battery test plan as listed. Ping me to discuss timeline.

Hey, Screen time apps that actually block the scroll — not just track it — are genuinely hard to build right using AccessibilityService without getting flagged by Play Store. This is specialized Android territory and I know exactly how to handle it. Kotlin, AccessibilityService for scroll blocking and feed detection, UsageStatsManager for real-time foreground tracking, Room for local history, MPAndroidChart for dashboards, and a small overlay notification updating under 3 seconds. Battery-efficient, Play Store policy compliant, and tested across Android 11–14. Quick question — should the PIN unlock be a simple 4-digit code the user sets, or do you want a more friction-heavy unlock like a timed delay to discourage impulse unlocking? Let’s build the focus app people actually stick with. — Pooja

Hi! The hard part of a focus-blocker isn't the timer — it's making AccessibilityService reliably block reels/shorts scrolling across FB, IG, TikTok and others without draining battery or tripping Play policy. That detection-vs-compliance balance is where we'd focus first. The build: - Focus Mode blocks vertical scroll / shorts / reels / autoplay in the selected apps via AccessibilityService, locked until the timer ends or PIN unlock. - Real-time tracking via UsageStatsManager — foreground detection starts a live counter on an overlay/notification, <3s delay. - Dashboard: current session, total today, historical charts (MPAndroidChart) — instant, no batching. - Room/SQLite local storage — data stays on-device, privacy-clean. - Battery-conscious service design, validated against your <5%/4-hour target. - Built Play-policy-aware for accessibility + data privacy so it survives review. Deliverables: signed APK, full commented source in Git, setup docs, and a one-page test plan verifying blocking, real-time analytics and battery on Android 11–14. We ship Android apps regularly, so this maps to work we do — I'll personally test on-device before handover. One question: if a user disables the accessibility permission mid-session, should Focus Mode hard-block as a fallback or stop gracefully?

⭐ Hi there ! Blocking scroll feeds using AccessibilityService while keeping battery under 5% needs careful implementation. A naive approach that polls every second drains the battery; the right approach uses AccessibilityEvent callbacks that only fire on window state changes. I've built Android apps using AccessibilityService, UsageStatsManager, and Room for focus and screen time features — including scroll blocking on specific apps and real-time overlay counters updating with under 2-second delay. Battery impact kept low by event-driven detection rather than polling. Signed APK, commented source in Git, setup documentation, and a one-page test plan covering all acceptance criteria — all included. Should the PIN unlock be a simple numeric PIN set by the user, or do you want a harder unlock like a timed delay to discourage impulsive unlocking?

The AccessibilityService + UsageStatsManager combination for real-time feed blocking is the technical core here — we've built similar Android overlay and monitoring tools before. We'd implement in Kotlin: AccessibilityService detects scroll events and blocks reels/shorts, UsageStatsManager tracks per-app session time, Room stores history, and MPAndroidChart renders the live dashboard. Battery impact kept minimal via an efficient foreground service. Deliverable: signed APK + full source in Git + test plan covering the <3-second analytics update and <5% battery targets you specified. Ping me, we'll discuss and start right away.

Hi! This is a really interesting project and I understand exactly what you're trying to achieve: help users regain control over social media by removing the endless-scroll experience while providing real-time usage analytics. I can build an Android app in Kotlin using Android SDK best practices, AccessibilityService for feed blocking, UsageStatsManager for app tracking, Room for local data storage, and lightweight charting for analytics. The app will track usage in real time, display session duration, maintain historical statistics, and provide a clean dashboard with visual insights. For Focus Mode, I'll implement a reliable mechanism that detects supported social apps instantly and blocks scrolling, reels, shorts, and similar feed interactions while the lock is active. A PIN-based override can also be included for controlled unlocking. The codebase will be clean, modular, and optimized for low battery consumption, with testing across Android 11–14 devices. You'll receive the APK, complete source code, documentation, and a test plan covering blocking behavior, analytics accuracy, and battery usage. This sounds like a fun challenge, and I'd love to discuss the exact blocking behavior and distribution strategy before getting started. Looking forward to hearing more! ?

Hi What caught my attention is that the biggest challenge in this project is not the time-tracking component—it's reliably detecting and interrupting scrolling, reels, shorts, and auto-playing feeds across multiple third-party apps while remaining compliant with Android permissions, AccessibilityService requirements, and Google Play policies. My approach would be to separate the solution into three core layers: app detection, feed blocking, and analytics. This allows the tracking engine, focus controls, and reporting dashboard to remain independent, scalable, and easier to maintain as social media apps change their interfaces over time. I can help with: • Native Android development (Kotlin) • AccessibilityService-based interaction detection • UsageStatsManager integration • Focus Mode and PIN-based unlock workflows • Real-time usage tracking and analytics • Room/SQLite local data storage • Performance and battery optimization • Dashboard development with historical reporting • Android 11–14 compatibility testing • Documentation and deployment support My process would typically include: • Building app usage detection and session tracking • Implementing Focus Mode activation logic • Detecting reels, shorts, and scrolling interactions • Creating feed-blocking and restriction mechanisms • Developing real-time overlays and notifications • Building analytics dashboards and charts • Optimizing background services for battery efficiency • Testing across supported Android versions • Delivering APK, source code, documentation, and test plan One advantage I bring is access to a broader technical delivery network through my BPO operations. If the project expands to include backend services, AI-driven habit analytics, cloud synchronization, cross-platform support, or additional mobile development resources, I can coordinate those capabilities while maintaining a single point of contact. One question: should Focus Mode block the entire social media application while active, or only block scrolling/reels/short-form content while still allowing access to messaging and profile features? Even if we do not end up working together, you will still leave with a free consultation and clearer direction for the application architecture and implementation strategy. Regards, Alex
