I built this app as I needed to spend less time on the phone myself and because I was, and still am, learning to code. The app uses the accessibilityAPI to read your screen to detect the content to be restricted. Privacy and security are guaranteed by the fact that the app works completely offline, it doesn't access the internet and it doesn't perform any sort of tracking.
It's already gone a thorough round of testing and it's fully working at the moment, but I'm sure there is still a lot to improve and a lot is already in the work, but I'd like some feedback too.
