Otol

Pick the apps that steal your focus. Start a session. Otol blocks them until

you're done — and when you reach for one out of habit, a full-screen reminder

in your own words sends you back.

No accounts. No ads. No internet permission at all — Otol is technically

incapable of sending your data anywhere.

▶️ HOW IT WORKS

• Choose the apps that distract you — social media, games, anything

• Start a focus session: 25, 50, 90 minutes, or your own duration

• Blocked apps show a full-screen block instead of opening

• Calls, SMS, and every other app keep working normally

• Finish and see how many urges you resisted

🛡️ THREE WAYS TO BLOCK

• Block — a firm wall; you can end the session early if you must

• Friction — a 10-second breathing pause, then you choose: "Never mind" or

"Let me in" for 5 minutes. Blocking that retrains a habit instead of

punishing you

• Otol Mode — strict: no ending early, survives a restart. For when you mean it

✍️ THE BLOCK SCREEN IS YOURS

• Write the words you see when you open a blocked app — in any language.

A promise, a reason, or a joke that stops you mid-reach

• Session intentions: name what you're working on, and the block screen says

it back to you at the exact moment of temptation

🗂️ PROFILES — ONE LIST PER CONTEXT

• Work, Sleep, Study, Exam week — keep a separate blocklist for each

• Pick which one a session or a schedule uses, and switch in a tap

📊 BUILT FOR REAL FOCUS

• Schedules: automatic sessions (every evening at 9 PM, say) with a 5-minute

heads-up and a skip option — and they survive reboots

• Stats: focused minutes, daily streak, attempts per day, resistance rate,

and the app that tempts you most

• Home-screen widget: today's focus total and one-tap start

• Quick Settings tile: start or end a session from the notification shade

🤝 HONEST BY DESIGN

• Otol never blocks your dialer, messages, or system settings

• Otol never prevents uninstalling — strict mode locks sessions, not your phone

• When no session is running, Otol runs nothing at all. No background service,

no battery drain

⚙️ PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED

• Usage access — to notice when a blocked app comes to the foreground. Read

only during an active session, and never sent anywhere

• Display over other apps — to show the full-screen block

• Alarms & reminders — so a scheduled session starts exactly on time

• Notifications — for the session countdown

Otol (অটল) means "unshakeable" in Bengali. That is the whole idea.

Be unshakeable. অটল থাকো।
