TRANSPARENCY & PERMISSIONS:

To enforce focus sessions and block distractions effectively, Noori utilizes the following system permissions:

1. Accessibility API: We use this permission solely to detect when you attempt to access YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels, allowing us to display a blocking overlay and redirect you. We do not read, store, or transmit any on-screen text or private data.
2. VPN Service: We run a local VPN connection to route DNS queries to clean-filtering servers (blocking adult content). No network traffic is sent to external servers, and no personal browsing data is collected or tracked.
3. Draw Over Other Apps (Overlay): Used to display the focus overlay screen when you attempt to open a blocked application.
