It&#39;s the app that gets you off the others.<br><br>ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE<br><br>Settled uses Android&#39;s AccessibilityService API to see which app is on your screen, so it can close a watched app the moment your allowance runs out. It cannot read anything on your screen, and nothing about your usage leaves your phone.
