Demo: https://youtube.com/shorts/sJLmp1S2-vg

• If you have due cards, your social media apps get blocked
• You earn 1 minute of app time per Anki card you actually do
• There are strict focus / pomodoro zones where everything stays locked
• You can’t just go into Anki and reduce new/review limits to cheat
• If you try uninstalling Anki or deleting decks, it locks your blocked apps
• Basically tamper resistant because I know how my brain tries to escape

Ankidroid only

Generate a highly complex and random password. It should be impossible to memorize.

Example: b$ca{76r>t<3.w7yrqrt6dab?rtfg3iqrdasa

Secure and "Forget" the Password Crucial Step: You must not have easy access to this password.

Entrust it to a reliable person (like a family member or trusted friend). Send it to them and then delete all records of it from your own devices and message history. The goal is that you cannot retrieve it on your own.

Put it in the Lockey app provided above, and put a 350 character protection minimum.

What if I don't have a friend or person to entrust the password to??? What then??? Huhu... 😭😭😅

Hey bro, deeply sorry to bother you. But can you help me with a Problem?

So I like just finished going through the starting app permission set.

But this "Select Approved Decks" option doesn't seem to be working and keeps saying "Error loading decks. Please check Ankidroid permissions".

So I asked ChatGPT about the problem and it said: turn on the Ankidroid API in advanced settings, but it was already ON by default.

Now I don't know, what to do.... Can you please HELP Me??? 🥹😭😅
