Dont You Do It: App Blocker

Nothing good gets sent after 8pm.

Dont You Do It is an app blocker for the night. You pick the apps in daylight. From 8pm to 8am they do not open. No unlock button, no "five more minutes".

Not the message to your ex. Not the post you delete by breakfast. Not the basket you fill at midnight. Not the email to your boss. Not three more hours of scrolling.

WHY IT WORKS WHEN A SCREEN TIME LIMIT DOES NOT

Most app blockers give you a button that says "ignore limit". At 1am you press it. This one has no such button. If you want in, you have three honest ways to go:

• Write it in the vault. Type the whole message and hit send. Nobody receives anything. It stays locked until 8am, and you cannot read it back before then. In the morning you decide: destroy it, or write today's version and send that yourself.

• Answer the ten questions. Ten real questions about what you are about to do and what it costs you tomorrow. No sums, no puzzles. Finish all ten and one app opens for ten minutes, then shuts again for an hour. After five goes the shield stays up until morning.

• Ring someone. One button, one person you chose in daylight.

WHAT YOU CAN BLOCK

• Any app on your phone: messaging, social media, dating, shopping, banking, video, games.
• Every browser with one switch, so "I'll just use the website" stops working too.
• Your own hours. 8pm to 8am is the default, and you can change it.

IN THE MORNING

A plain report of the night: how many times you tried, what you wrote, what never went anywhere. Carefree mornings are counted by the week, with no streak to break.

If your phone's battery saver killed the shield at 3am, the report says so, with the minutes. An app blocker that hides its own gaps is not worth having.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• No account, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics.
• The app has no internet permission. You can check that in Android's app info in a few seconds.
• Everything you write stays on your phone. We could not read it if we wanted to.
• Discreet icon: a plain icon and the name "Notes" on your home screen.
• Blank notifications, for when someone else can see your phone.
• Private screens are hidden from screenshots and the recent apps view.

FREE, AND WHAT PRO ADDS

Free covers one app, or every browser, with every night tool at full strength: the shield, the vault, the ten questions, the call button and the morning report. It is not a trial and it does not expire.

Pro covers every app you choose and adds your full history and the money ledger. Pay monthly, yearly, or once. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel in Google Play. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.

Every plan is identical at night. Paying widens what is covered. It never opens the shield, and nothing is sold while the shield is up.

WHAT IT CANNOT DO

• Delete the app, or take a permission away, and the shield stops. No Android app can prevent that.
• It cannot stop a reply sent straight from a notification. The app shows you how to switch those replies off.
• It does not block single websites. It shields whole browsers.
• It is friction, not treatment. If things feel like too much, talk to someone you trust or a doctor.

PERMISSIONS, AND WHY

• Usage access: to see which app just came to the front. It cannot see your screen or what you type.
• Display over other apps: to draw the shield.
• Battery exemption and exact alarms: so the night starts on the minute and your phone does not quietly stop the shield.

No accessibility service and no VPN. Both are common in app blockers, and both see far more than this app needs.
