I need an Android-only app that stops the endless scroll on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, while giving users a live view of exactly how long they spend on each of those platforms. The core idea is simple: whenever the user activates Focus Mode inside the app, vertical scrolling, shorts, reels or any other auto-play feed in the three selected social media apps must be completely blocked until the timer ends or the user explicitly unlocks it with a PIN. Real-time tracking is essential. The moment any of the three apps comes to the foreground, a counter should start and update on a small overlay or notification, then roll straight into a dashboard that shows current session length, total time today and historical charts. No scheduled daily or weekly batches—everything updates instantly. Please implement with standard Android tools (Kotlin or Java, Android SDK, AccessibilityService and UsageStatsManager for detection, Room/SQLite for local storage, MPAndroidChart or a similar lightweight library for the graphs) and keep battery usage low. The solution must comply with Google Play policy regarding accessibility and data privacy. Deliverables: • Signed, installable APK for testing • Full commented source code in Git • Brief setup/documentation file • A one-page test plan demonstrating: – scrolling/shorts blocked on all short video apps Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, tiktock or others too, – analytics panel updating in real time (<3-second delay), – battery impact under 5 % over a 4-hour test. Once these points are met and verified on Android 11-14 devices, the project will be considered complete.

Hi, I can see the hidden pain point here: users don’t just want tracking , they want the feed interruption to feel immediate and unavoidable once Focus Mode starts. I’ve worked on Android apps using Kotlin, AccessibilityService, UsageStatsManager, Room, and lightweight charting, and I can build this so detection, blocking, and live analytics stay tightly synced without heavy battery drain. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. My approach would be to enforce focus rules at the accessibility layer, show real-time session timing in a small overlay/notification, and log usage locally for instant dashboard updates with charts. I can also keep the implementation aligned with Google Play accessibility and privacy requirements, with clear scope limits around device compatibility and policy-safe behavior. Which exact apps and Android versions should be treated as priority for blocking and testing first? Best regards, Asad

Blocking feeds without breaking the host app is the tricky part. AccessibilityService can intercept scroll events and inject touch barriers on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok feed containers while leaving navigation intact, and Room with a foreground service will log every second those apps stay visible so your dashboard updates live without any batch delay. Built a similar blocker for YouTube Shorts last year that survived app updates by targeting resource IDs and content descriptions instead of hardcoded view paths, so the logic adapts when Meta or ByteDance push UI changes. Which unlock flow do you prefer: PIN entry inside your app that then releases the accessibility block, or a system alert dialog that forces context switching every time the user tries to scroll?
