Greetings! I am looking for an app which blocks distracting apps like NewPipe, Infinity and Facebook and unlocks them when the screen time of 1 hours and 30 minutes of a productive app like OneNote is achieved. This should also apply to distracting websites.

I think the screen time of productivity based apps requiring distracting apps to be unlocked is a fantastic way to stay productive and I have not seen any blocking apps implemented this feature.

TIA

Nice idea the one to gain credits, but it can be gamed by leaving the phone on that app idle (detecting activity needs broad accessibilty permissions)

I think on android apps can't know which website is being browsed at the time, unless they're acting like a VPN

I don't think it is possible to leave an app on idle with default screen time out settings as the person in question will have to unlock the device after screen goes off.

Apps can know which websites are being visited through their accessability services without relying on activating a VPN.

I'd still take it because that would mean I'd have to be actively deceiving myself AND at least I'm not using any other dumb shit on my phone (there's still the issue of every other screen but one thing at a time).
