Mindful Morning

Hey everyone! 👋

I built an Android app called Morning Mindful that helps break the habit of doom-scrolling first thing in the morning. It blocks social media apps until you write a short journal entry.

How it works:

Blocks apps like Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Reddit, YouTube during your morning hours

Write ~200 words to unlock (configurable)

Also blocks browsers so you can't cheat via web

All data stays on your device, encrypted

I need testers for Google Play closed testing!

⚠️ Important: About the Permission
This app requires the Accessibility Service permission. Android will show a scary warning saying "allow full control of your device."

What it actually does:

Detects when you open a blocked app (that's it)

What it does NOT do:

Read your screen content

Log your keystrokes

Access your passwords

Collect any personal data

There's no alternative API on Android for detecting app launches in real-time. Google's own Digital Wellbeing app uses the same permission for the same reason.

The app is open source if you want to verify: https://github.com/alanmurfi/MorningMindful
