App Limit Monitor–Screen Time

App Limit Monitor lets you set a daily app time limit for any app on your phone and blocks the app when the limit is reached. It also shows how many minutes you have spent in each app today, so you can see your screen time and build healthier habits. Everything runs on your device. REAL-TIME APP USAGE TRACKING See exactly how many minutes you've spent in each app today. App Limit Monitor reads your device's daily usage statistics and presents them in a clean, live dashboard, updated in real time. Usage resets automatically at midnight every day. CUSTOM DAILY TIME LIMITS Set a daily time limit for any app installed on your phone, in hours and minutes, using a picker. Once your limit is reached, App Limit Monitor brings up a blocking screen. A live progress bar on every app card shows at a glance how close you are to your limit. MASTER PASSWORD AND BIOMETRICS Limits only work if they can't be bypassed easily, so every unlock requires your Master Password, which you set during a simple onboarding flow. If you forget it, a Security Question and Answer recovery option is available. On supported devices you can also unlock with biometrics (fingerprint or face recognition). UNLOCK COUNT Every time you unlock a restricted app, the app records it. The Unlock Count badge on each app card shows how many times you have broken through your own limits today. It is a gentle, non-judgmental nudge: awareness is the first step to change. EARN EXTRA TIME BY WATCHING AN AD Need a little more time? You can earn an extra 30 minutes of access for any app by watching a short rewarded video ad. This keeps the app free while still keeping your limits meaningful. ALWAYS-ON BACKGROUND MONITORING A lightweight foreground service runs in the background and checks the active foreground app every 500 milliseconds. When a monitored app exceeds its limit, the blocking screen appears, even after a device reboot. WHY THIS APP NEEDS SPECIAL PERMISSIONS - Usage Access (Usage Stats): required to read how long you've used each app today. This data never leaves your device. - Display Over Other Apps (System Overlay): required to show the blocking screen on top of restricted apps when your time limit is reached. - Foreground Service / Boot on Start: ensures monitoring resumes automatically after your phone restarts, so your limits are always enforced. All usage data is processed 100% locally on your device. Nothing is sent to any server. WHO IT IS FOR - For yourself: beat phone addiction, improve focus and build a productive routine. - For parents: set screen time limits on a shared family device. - For students: block distracting social media during study sessions.
