It closes porn sites in every browser on your phone, cuts off endless short-video
feeds, and makes the protection hard to switch off in a weak moment.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT IT DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

▸ Blocks adult content
An accessibility service reads the address and the text of the page you have open,
and closes pornography in any browser — Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet, Opera
and the rest. The domain lists update themselves.

▸ Network filter
A second, independent layer: porn domains are cut off at the phone level through
Android's own Private DNS. It keeps working even when the app is closed.

▸ Short videos
Single-purpose apps — TikTok, Likee, Kwai — close completely. Inside YouTube only
the Shorts feed closes; the rest of YouTube keeps working. The same goes for
youtube.com/shorts and instagram.com/reels opened in a browser.

▸ Time limits
A daily limit for a chosen app or website. When the time runs out, it stays shut
until tomorrow.

▸ Hard to undo in a weak moment
A self-lock for up to 14 days: while it runs, protection cannot be turned off or
weakened — not even from inside the app.

▸ Accountability partner
If the protection does get switched off, someone you chose finds out in their own
copy of KarosGuard — usually within 15 minutes. You get a one-time 8-digit code in
Settings → Who to notify if turned off; they enter it in Settings → I'm a trusted
person. Without your code, nobody can connect.

▸ Calendar and streak
Every protected day is visible, with your current streak and your best one. Only
you can mark a relapse — the app never accuses you of anything on its own.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The app is young. Sometimes it closes a page that should have stayed open — the
protection would rather play it safe. The block screen has a "Report an error"
button: one tap, the address reaches us, and the lists get better for everyone.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRIVACY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

All the filtering happens on your device. Your browsing history is never uploaded
and never sold. The app does not use a VPN and does not route your traffic through
any server of ours.
