I built this app as I needed to spend less time on the phone myself and because I was, and still am, learning to code. The app uses the accessibilityAPI to read your screen to detect the content to be restricted. Privacy and security are guaranteed by the fact that the app works completely offline, it doesn't access the internet and it doesn't perform any sort of tracking. It's already gone a thorough round of testing and it's fully working at the moment, but I'm sure there is still a lot to improve and a lot is already in the work, but I'd like some feedback too.

Reel Killer - Efficient time saver

What it does: It helps you manage you screen time by either blocking video content like reels and shorts only, or can block the whole app. You can also set up daily allowances and blackout windows.

Key Features:

Default mode: Blocks reels and shorts by pushing you out of them when they are full-screen, or automatically scrolling past them when on the feed.
Nuke mode: Blocks the whole app.
Pay once, yours forever (no ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no data collection)
Privacy focused - the app use the accessibilityAPI in order to read the screen and detect reels, but it operates completely offline and locally

Compatibility:
