Title: DiriCode - Your Smart Assistant for Parental Control and Child Protection

DiriCode is more than just a monitoring app; it's your smart partner for fostering trust and open communication with your children about their digital habits, ensuring their safety in the digital world. We believe that protection comes from understanding and guidance, as well as effective tools.

To provide essential parental control functions and effectively protect your child, DiriCode uses the following sensitive APIs:

AccessibilityService API: This API is used to detect when your child attempts to run an app that has been blocked by the parents and automatically prevents it from opening. This ensures that app restrictions are effectively enforced on the child's device.

Usage Stats API: This API is used to collect data about app usage (such as usage duration and most frequently used apps) to provide detailed reports for parents.

Explicit and explicit consent is obtained from the parent/guardian within the app before activating either of these services. DiriCode does not collect any sensitive personal data or change user settings through these services other than what is strictly necessary for the stated parental control functions.

Key App Features:

📍 Real-Time Location Tracking (Unparalleled Peace of Mind):

Keep track of your child's location at any time. See their current location on a live, interactive map. This data is obtained only with explicit parent/guardian consent and is used exclusively for your child's safety and is displayed to parents.

🚧 App and Game Management (Clean Digital Environment):

Browse the list of apps installed on your child's device. Block inappropriate or addictive apps with the touch of a button, ensuring a safe digital environment. (Powered by AccessibilityService API)

⏰ Screen Time Setting (Healthy Balance Between Play and Learning):

📊 Detailed Activity Reports (Understand Their Digital World):

Get clear, easy-to-understand reports on how your child uses their device: Which apps are used most often? How much time do they spend on them? These reports, based on app usage data (Usage Stats API), open the door to meaningful dialogue and parental guidance.

Additional features for child safety:

Uninstall Protection: DiriCode prevents unauthorized uninstall attempts on a child's device to ensure continued parental control. (Powered by the AccessibilityService API).

Family-Centric Design: DiriCode is designed to help parents nurture their children's digital lives, with a focus on transparency and trust.
