Hi there!
Great app and a lot of potential.
Here comes some feedback:
- App Groups / Profiles and a shortcode to lock a specific group of apps of a category instantly for a specific amount of time.
- longer lock times - 3hours is nice - but a custom amount would be helpful
- show locked apps in Toast or in App under Lock Selected Apps button
the app keeps me asking "disable battery optimization" - even it is dectivated for the app and "do you want to give us permissions" even if granted.
Great work so far!
@ad2003 Hey man, thank for the positive feedback and feature requests!
The ones that i can possibly do Fast, are:
- longer lock times - 3hours is nice - but a custom amount would be helpful
- show locked apps in Toast or in App under Lock Selected Apps buttonAdded
I think i'll make a separate screen to show already selected apps, with icons - just a screen with no buttons where you can check what you already selected.
Second one, i'll probably dig into it and see if i can add a custom selection, but it won't be an easy task for me to edit the database for it and all.
As for group/profiles, i'm trying to implement a reverse timer first ( Where the apps get Locked AFTER you spend 30 minutes,1 hour etc.. For 30 minutes, 1 hour etc.. ) when i finish that, i'll gladly work on profiles.
And for disable battery optimization and permissions.. that's very weird, never heard of it before. Can you try reinstalling the app please? ( Or clearing data/cache, and clearing those permissions ) And report back ?
Thanks again, i'll tag this as feature requests.
there is not a real bug. I found the problem. I thought I turned off battery optimisation but instead it was still turned on - but I gave permission to get App Status / Usage. The next time I opened the app it asks me again for both - turn off battery optmisation and App Status / Usage - so I thought it was not working. It works now.
Some more suggestios:
let apps been added to a running Lock. Let's say I want to add Chrome for the current time period without the need to restart the program.
Turn on Flightmode (turn off phone, mail, wlan) for a custom time, would also be nice to have as an addition. So you can say, don't disturb me for x amount of time at all but turn on again automatically in 30 minutes. And of course shortcuts would be nice to activate it quickly.
Reverse Timer is also a good idea. thanks!
Hey,
I just released a new version with Currently Selected Apps
show locked apps in Toast or in App under Lock Selected Apps button
I will add Time used in this app: XXX in a toast or next to the app version later on.
Regarding your new requests:
- Shortcuts/widgets is a really cool idea. I might as well do it, added to my feature list.
- Turning off data. airplane mode etc.. is a system wide feature - it'll take me some time, also, it needs more system permissions. I'm not sure if everyone will accept that :) But it's deffinily added to my Feature List.
And

Sorry, i can't do this. The reason to this is because if i allow it, users might be able to remove apps as well, get it? That's why i lock App selection after you press the lock button. If i find a way to make users ADD APPS only instead of adding+removing, i will make the feature :)
Thanks for good suggestions! Everything is noted down.
EDIT:
- Turn on Flightmode (turn off phone, mail, wlan) for a custom time, would also be nice to have as an addition. So you can say, don't disturb me for x amount of time at all but turn on again automatically in 30 minutes.
This shouldn't take a lot of time :) I think i'll add it soon.

That's done, along with some other features. :)
Left:
- Shortcut/Widget
- Groups/Profiles
- Reverse lock
- Custom Timers
I've release a version with a fix for the most critical bug - Timer going crazy after midnight. Can you please confirm it somehow if it's working?
Thanks. I'm back on the project but with slow pace, will be releasing updates soon.
