In a world demanding constant attention, MonkUs helps you reclaim it. Four tools, one purpose: build a life of discipline without losing yourself to your phone.

FOCUS — HABIT TRACKING
Build daily habits that compound. Track streaks, see your weekly progress at a glance, and watch a full year of consistency take shape in your heatmap. No social feeds, no leaderboards — just you and your progress.

RISE — SMART ALARM
Wake up fully, not groggily. Choose from engaging dismissal missions — math, typing, shake, QR scan, and more — so snoozing back to sleep isn't an option. Gentle wake, custom sounds, and reliable scheduling that fires exactly on time.

BOUNDARIES — APP BLOCKING
Block distracting apps during focus sessions you define. See your screen-time breakdown, set usage limits, and let MonkUs hold the line when willpower runs out.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE — HOW BOUNDARIES WORKS
To block distracting apps, Boundaries uses Android's Accessibility Service API — the only way MonkUs can detect when you open an app you've chosen to block and respond with the block screen. It does not read on-screen text, keystrokes, or any personal data; it only checks which app is currently open, and nothing it sees ever leaves your device. Before turning it on, MonkUs shows a clear on-screen explanation and asks you to explicitly choose "Allow" or "Deny." You can turn it off anytime from Android Settings → Accessibility, which simply disables app blocking.


MONK MODE — MINIMAL LAUNCHER
Replace your home screen with something calmer. Pin only the apps that matter, surround yourself with a daily quote instead of a feed, and turn your phone back into a tool instead of a trap.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
MonkUs is fully offline. No account, no login, no analytics, no ads. Everything stays on your device — nothing is ever collected or transmitted anywhere.

Calm, minimal, purposeful. No aggressive gamification. Just the structure to build the discipline you're after. ## Rankings - #2,499,640 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY` - `android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SYSTEM_EXEMPTED` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES` - `android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS` - `android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.USE_EXACT_ALARM` - `android.permission.USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.monkus.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Monk Phone - Cut Screen Time](https://chrome-stats.com/d/xyz.diegoberardi.monkphone) — 2,109 users - [Monk](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.monktag.app) — 50 users - [monk! - Habit Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/fr.thomasjanski.monkmode) — 15,892 users, 4.59 / 5 - [FocusMonk](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.focusmonk) — 138 users - [Monk Mode](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.monk_mode.com) — 81 users - [MonkHabit : Habit Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.adityamagar.monkhabit) — 43 users - [ZenMode: Minimalist Launcher](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.zenlauncher.zenmode) — 1,032 users - [stopmonke](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.synexiomlabs.stopmonke) — 9 users - [Monk Mode: Conquer bad habits!](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wiztek.monkmode) — 153 users - [Monk Detox: Quit Your Phone](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fujiwara.detoxtraining) — 23 users - [Monk Mode – Focus & Discipline](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.monkmode.monk_mode) — 258 users - [MonoPhone: Minimalist Launcher](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.monophone) — 113 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.monkus)
