AbhiNow: App Blocker & Focus

Come back to now.

AbhiNow is a calm app blocker and screen time app — block distracting apps and stop doomscrolling without harsh lockouts or guilt. The moment you reach for a time-wasting app, AbhiNow gives you a brief mindful pause to come back to the present. Then walking away becomes the win.

Most app blockers fight you. AbhiNow works with you.

HOW IT WORKS
• Reach — open a blocked app like you always do.
• Pause — a quiet full-screen moment: one slow breath, a line to type, or a short stillness.
• Choose — walk away (the celebrated win) or, if it truly matters, go in anyway. You stay in control.

That small gap between impulse and action is enough to break the scroll habit — gently, every day. It can feel like phone addiction, but it isn't a willpower problem — feeds are designed to remove the pause. AbhiNow puts it back.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Block any app — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, X, Snapchat, WhatsApp, games, or anything you choose.
• Block apps on a schedule — set "shields" for work hours, study time, or bedtime.
• Calming intercepts — breathing, a grounding line to type, a stillness pause, a "why am I reaching?" check, quick math, and more. They quietly adapt: the more you reopen in a day, the firmer the next pause.
• Set app limits — an app timer that blocks after a daily time limit, or after a number of opens.
• Deep Focus — a locked focus timer for real work and distraction-free study.
• Rest an app till tomorrow — one tap when a single app keeps pulling at you all day.
• Commitment lock — for the moments self-control isn't enough, lock your whole setup for a set time, with no early exit.
• Track your screen time — a daily presence score, time per app, trends, streaks, and an honest estimate of the time you've reclaimed.
• Earn your journey — achievements and presence tiers that celebrate showing up.
• Home-screen widget — see your score and start a focus session in one tap.

WHY ABHINOW IS DIFFERENT
• Agency, not restriction — "you can still open this, just pause first" keeps you in charge.
• Calm by design — no rage-inducing lockouts, no streaks that punish, no dark patterns.
• Identity, not shame — you're treated as someone who's present, never a problem to be fixed.
• Honest metrics — estimates are always marked as estimates, and your stats can't be gamed by toggling permissions.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
100% on your device. No account. No sign-up. No tracking. No cloud. No ads.
Your data never leaves your phone — the app works offline.

PERMISSIONS, PLAINLY
AbhiNow never reads your screen content, what you type, or your passwords, and nothing ever leaves your phone. To show your pause at the right moment, it uses Android's Accessibility Service to see only which app you've just opened — nothing more. To keep your shields working when the app is closed, allow AbhiNow to run without battery restrictions.
