Rescuer: App Block & Focus

Rescuer: App Block & Focus
Take control of your digital well-being and protect adorable creatures with Rescuer.
Rescuer helps you break the cycle of mindless scrolling by introducing a meaningful consequence to your app usage.
When you attempt to open a distracting "predator" app like YouTube, TikTok or Instagram Rescuer intercepts the launch and presents you with a choice: Focus on your goals and save a very cute baby animal, or sacrifice it to enter the app.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE DISCLOSURE
Rescuer uses the Android AccessibilityService API to provide its core focus-tracking and interception features. This is a core requirement for the app to function as intended.

How it works:
• App Launch Detection: The Accessibility Service is used to detect when you attempt to open specific apps that you have chosen to block (your "Predators").
• Interception: When a blocked app is detected, the service allows Rescuer to display an overlay screen (the Interception Screen) before the distracting app can be fully accessed.
• Session Management: It tracks when you leave a blocked app to manage your "Free Passes" and "Grace Periods," ensuring the app only intercepts you when necessary.

Your Privacy Matters:
• No Data Collection: Rescuer does not collect, store, or share any personal data, messages, or sensitive information through the Accessibility Service.
• Local Processing: All app detection and usage logic happens entirely on your device.
• User Control: The service is only active after you explicitly grant permission in your device's Accessibility settings. You can disable this permission at any time.

Key Features:
• Perfect for blocking Shorts, Reels, and scrolling feeds that eat up your time.
• A mindful alternative to generic App Lockers or Screen Time trackers.
• Meaningful Interception: Save or sacrifice 15+ unique digital creatures.
• Configurable Free Passes: Decide how many "safe" launches you get each day.
• Resilience Tracking: Monitor your weekly focus performance through our dashboard.
• Privacy First: No internet required for core features; your data stays on your phone.
