Stop Wasting Time: App Blocker

Someone who actually cares about your time. 🌱

Meet Sandy — a focus pet that celebrates when you focus, gets sad when you scroll, and blocks the apps that pull you in.

Focus apps tend to be cold. Pet apps tend to be cute and toothless. Stop Wasting Time is a virtual pet with a real app blocker behind it.

★ A COMPANION THAT REACTS TO YOU

Sandy responds to what you actually do: happy when you follow through, sad when you slip, proud at every milestone. Six emotional states and twelve animations, driven by your real progress.

★ AN APP BLOCKER THAT INTERVENES

When you reach for Instagram, TikTok or any distraction, Sandy steps in. It reminds you of the goal you said mattered, throws a quick maths challenge to break autopilot, and asks for a short reflection before letting you through. Block one app for free, schedules and daily limits included. Pro lifts the limit.

★ HOW THE BLOCKER WORKS (ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE)

Stop Wasting Time uses Android's AccessibilityService API, and app blocking is what needs it. The service does one thing: it detects the package name of the app currently in the foreground, so Sandy can show the block screen for the apps you chose. It does not read screen content, capture text or keystrokes, and takes no screenshots — it is declared with canRetrieveWindowContent="false". Everything happens on your device in real time; nothing is stored, logged or sent anywhere. It is optional: the app works without it, blocking simply will not, and you can switch it off any time in Android Settings → Accessibility.

★ IT SUPPORTS YOU INSTEAD OF SHAMING YOU

Built for anyone tired of apps that trade in guilt. Lose a streak and Sandy is sad, not angry — tomorrow starts clean.

★ FOCUS WITH POMODORO & DEEP WORK

Choose Pomodoro for short bursts or Deep Work for long sessions, with ambient focus sounds. Both can auto-block distractions, and the timer keeps running when you switch apps.

★ HABITS & GOALS THAT STICK

Link daily habits to real goals, grow your streak, and hit milestones with Sandy cheering each one. A habit tracker that means something. Free: 3 goals, habit tracking, one blocked app, all six of Sandy's moods. Pro: unlimited goals, habits and blocked apps, strict mode, notes with photos, and 90 days of statistics.

★ DESIGNED FOR YOUR SCREEN

Dark mode by default. Colour-blind mode for full accessibility. Works offline. No ads, ever.

★ NEVER LOSE A STREAK (PRO ANNUAL)

Annual subscribers keep their streaks alive on missed days automatically — no counters, no extra purchases.

★ FAIR PRICING

The free version is useful on its own. Pro costs less than a coffee a month when paid annually, and the annual plan includes a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime. Your data stays yours: full backup export and restore, free for everyone.

If you have ever opened Instagram on autopilot, or felt guilty for not moving on your goals, this focus pet is worth a week of your time.
