About this app

Disconnect from your phone in order to reconnect with yourself, others, and the world. Start your challenge today!

Are you always on your phone? Do you live with a constant fear of missing out? Do you panic when you have no signal? It’s time for a detox. You can do this. We’re here to help.

Features:
⚫ Limited access to your phone during the challenge
⚫ Multiple difficulty levels with built-in accountability
⚫ Scheduling and whitelisting capabilities
⚫ Achievements and leader board at Play Games

Warning: XioaMi phones requires a special permission in order to open whitelisted apps. Please follow our guide here: https://team.urbandroid.org/ddc-fix-whitelisted-apps-on-xiaomi/

Automation

To start detox automatically from Tasker or similar:
- broadcast
- package: com.urbandroid.ddc
- action: com.urbandroid.ddc.START_DETOX
- time_extra: number of millies

Example:
adb shell am broadcast --el time_extra 60000 -a com.urbandroid.ddc.START_DETOX

Accessibility Service

In order to effectively block you from using the addictive and distracting apps the "Digital Detox" app may ask you to enable its Accessibility Service if you decide to use the cheating protection features. We use this service only to block you from leaving an ongoing Detox without paying an accountability fee or using a quit code (the cheating). We do not use the service to collect any personal information.

See how the use of Accessibility Service works in Digital Detox:

Device Admin

If granted by the user, "Digital Detox" app may use the Device Administrator permission to (and only to) prevent users from cheating - make uninstalling of the app during an active Detox harder.

I have tested the app for an hour, I really like it. If it wouldn't cost me money, I'd never stick to my detox breaks. I couldn't find how to install or start the Detox Browser and I couldn't set the app launcher in my phone settings. I'm on a pixel phone (pro 7), so my Android shouldn't be the problem. Best regards Edited to add: thanks for the fast answer, changed rating to five stars. A manual of some kind would still be nice, not everything was self explanatory to me.

Hello Hauke, instead of sending user to a manual, we would like to make the options in the settings self-explanatory and easy to use. Which options in the app are confusing and need a better explanation or name? Our contact is support@urbandroid.org. Thank you.

This app is really helpful, especially for my sleep. I was having trouble leaving my phone alone in bed, and it was affecting my sleep. Now I start a 2 hour challenge, and set my phone aside. Knowing I can't touch my phone without paying, even a small amount, really does help. Before too long, I drift off. I'm really pleased with this app. Edited to add: I've started having a problem where it starts but the timer doesn't count down and after the time I set (usually 4 hours) I have to hit "quit"

Hello Lisa, the end of the detox is saved to the system scheduler to prevent any mistakes. The time on the main screen can cycle between time left > end time > current time. If it is not moving, it is the end time. Could you use the Left ≡ menu → (?) Support → Report a bug, and send your application logs, when the detox does not end, please? Thanks

I love the app but since the last updste it does not let me use my keyboard anymore. For example: Spotify is whitelisted but I cant search for a song because apparently opening the samsung keyboard is cheating. It also closes the gallery even though it's whitelisted and I have no idea how to fix this. I basically want to get rid of all the distracting apps but keep apps like maps, spotify, gallery & capcut (for work). The App is pretty much unusable for me right now and i miss it!

Hello, on Samsung, the keyboard does not work if you enable Samsung's default off feature called Edge panels, and these apps must be added to the list of allowed apps as well to allow rendering the keyboard - com.samsung.accessibility, com.samsung.android.samsungpass, and com.samsung.android.spay. More details at support@urbandroid.org. Thank you.
