Block Newly Installed Apps

[CloverJ-1]

For e.g. If i download Tor Browser I can bypass everything and it wouldn’t have time limit as it is not set. Even if set reinstalling will simply bypass it. same for other browsers if we want to limit internet surfing then this is a must feature

@akaMrNagar Any ETA for next update?😀

[akaMrNagar]

So we won't block newly installed app intead i have implemented usage tracking, that means previously Mindful requests usage from device but in the upcoming update we will track screen usage personally so reinstalling app won't bypass already used limit.

Hopefully i might release alpha for testing this month, lets see🤞

@akaMrNagar But this is i think impractical as how can one set limits to all browsers on playstore or YouTube clients such as Revanced ?

[CloverJ-1]

Almost all of Screentime control apps have this as an optional feature.
The new apps should be blocked by default and then user would have to manually unblock it.

[akaMrNagar]

Why do you want to set limit on browser?

For shorts, some websites, or keywords?

[CloverJ-1]

To limit time spent on different websites (e.g. news)

[akaMrNagar]

In the upcoming release you can create a web group with websites and keywords along with the ability to set scheduled blocking and time limit.

This blocking will be applicable to all the support installed or newly installed browser.

So this will eventually solve all the problems related to browser

[CloverJ-1]

Okay let's get aside from browsers.

There are different anime websites with their own apps, different pirated movie streaming sites with their own apps, different novel websites with their own apps.

So keyword blocking will not work in these apps. Main concern is about these time wasting apps.

@akaMrNagar Any thoughts?

[akaMrNagar]

I'm kind of confused!
What you are trying to do, we already have restrictions feature for apps, group of apps, short content, websites

Then what else?

[CloverJ-1]

@akaMrNagar
See, Suppose I download some random free movie streaming app, I will watch the movie first na, then I might regret and set restriction but this restriction would be for this particular app.

Again when I desire to see I will download another app, same process of thoughts will repeat again.

So to prevent that inherent Time wastage, it is essential that the apps are blocked right away as they are installed.

[CloverJ-1]

This app apk can be obtained from anywhere file sharing, messaging apps, internet etc

Keyword blocking only works in browser right?

[akaMrNagar]

That also doesn't mean every app we install is movie or anime app, most of them might be productive too.

If user have enabled Invincible mode that he can't unblock the app until the window time
That will be frustrating
