Brief Description

(OFFTIME) is an application that enables Android users to take digital breaks, aiding in the management of digital distractions by blocking calls, texts, notifications, and more.

Overview

(OFFTIME) is a unique tool designed to provide Android users with a much-needed respite from the incessant flood of information that bombards their devices. This application caters to the digital lifestyle of today's society, where screens dominate most of our daily activities. While being constantly connected has its benefits, it's equally important to disconnect and take a breather every once in a while. This is where (OFFTIME) shines, offering a solution for those seeking digital detox periods throughout their day.

Functionality and Features

The premise of (OFFTIME) is straightforward and effective. Users have the ability to forget about their phones for a few moments each day by setting up filters and parameters that control what type of apps to block and for how long. Additionally, users can specify which phone numbers to block and which to permit during their 'off time', ensuring that important calls or messages can still get through.

A noteworthy feature is the emergency phone numbers and messages allowance. For instance, users can configure their settings such that only calls from specific contacts - like a parent or a partner - can come through. This ensures that even during their digital detox, they won’t miss any urgent calls.

User Experience

(OFFTIME) is an excellent tool for people who often find themselves overwhelmed by the constant use of mobile devices. It provides a solution for managing and reducing digital stress, allowing users to enjoy periods of uninterrupted relaxation, focus, or productivity.

However, it's worth noting that while (OFFTIME) is a powerful tool for managing digital distractions, it's not a substitute for self-discipline. The most effective way to manage digital distractions is by establishing healthy usage habits.

Conclusion

In conclusion, (OFFTIME) is a highly beneficial tool for those seeking to balance their digital lifestyle. It's not a cure-all solution, but it does provide a valuable aid in managing digital distractions, promoting healthier and more mindful phone usage habits.

Stability improvements and bug fixes

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • CALL_PHONE: Allows an application to initiate a phone call without going through the Dialer user interface for the user to confirm the call.
  • CAMERA: Required to be able to access the camera device.
  • PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS: Allows an application to see the number being dialed during an outgoing call with the option to redirect the call to a different number or abort the call altogether.
  • READ_CALL_LOG: Allows an application to read the user's call log.
  • READ_CONTACTS: Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY: Marker permission for applications that wish to access notification policy.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • BLUETOOTH: Allows applications to connect to paired bluetooth devices.
  • BLUETOOTH_ADMIN: Allows applications to discover and pair bluetooth devices.
  • CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to change network connectivity state.
  • CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to change Wi-Fi connectivity state.
  • EXPAND_STATUS_BAR: Allows an application to expand or collapse the status bar.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS: Allows an application to modify global audio settings.
  • PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS: Allows an application to collect component usage statistics
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS: Permission an application must hold in order to use ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS. This is a normal permission: an app requesting it will always be granted the permission, without the user needing to approve or see it.
  • SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows an app to create windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other apps. Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
  • android.permission.ANSWER_PHONE_CALLS
  • android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE
  • com.android.vending.BILLING
  • com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE
  • com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE
