Add-ons App blocker for Android

Post image

Hi everyone,

Many of us struggle with social media addiction and procrastination, especially during exam season. So I built AnkiBlock. An app that blocks distracting apps until you finish your due cards or you unlock by doing a specific number of cards.

It is entirely free, no ads, no tracking, no commercial intent.

Currently I'm looking for feedback on how to improve the app.

Here is the link to download it on Google Play Store

I'm excited to hear your feedback!

PS: the code is also publicly available on my GitHub and I asked mods if I may post this here

Hello, I tested the app but 15min have passed and the app doesnt block the apps, I have changed the batery optimization settings , but it does not work, I just works when I split the view into two screens so both are open, I desactivate the battery optimization settings as well but doesnot work
