Drinking Mood

Drinking Mood is an offline mobile application designed to help individuals make safer choices when consuming alcohol. It offers two modes – Casual Mode and Serious Mode – that allow users to limit their access to certain apps and perform sobriety checks while drinking. We aim to support people struggling with alcohol habits by promoting awareness and encouraging healthy social interaction.

Disclosure regarding AccessibilityService API:

Our app uses the AccessibilityService API to enable the App Lock feature. This service is required to

Detect app launches: It allows the app to identify when a user opens a protected application.

Display the Lock Screen: It enables the app to quickly display a secure lock overlay over the protected app to prevent accidental access while consuming alcohol.

Privacy & Security:

We do not use the AccessibilityService API to read your private data, messages, or photos.

No personal information is collected, stored, or transmitted to any external servers through this service.

Key Features of the App:

Casual Mode: Lets you choose a list of apps (e.g., social media, banking, chat apps) that you want to block while drinking. Once Casual Mode is activated, if you attempt to open any app on your blocked list, Drinking Mood will intervene by notifying you that the app is restricted. This gentle reminder helps prevent potentially harmful or regrettable app usage when you are under the influence.

Serious Mode: Intended for heavier drinking situations, this mode requires you to pass a simple typing game or test to prove you are sober enough before accessing your device or certain apps. If you're unable to complete the typing challenge, the app assumes you may be intoxicated and continues to restrict access for your safety.

Customizable Block Lists: You have full control over which apps are blocked in both Casual and Serious modes. You can add or remove apps from your block list at any time to suit your needs. This list is stored locally on your device and can be adjusted in the app's settings.

Motivational Messages: The app displays helpful quotes and messages to raise awareness of the risks of frequent drinking and encourage you not to drink alone. These friendly reminders aim to promote moderation and social connection.

Offline Functionality: Drinking Mood is fully offline. All features of the app work without an internet connection, ensuring that your usage data never leaves your device.
