Questions, answered
Know before you protect
How does Habit Protector block distracting apps?
You create a protection rule, choose which apps it covers, set its schedule, and select a short challenge. When you try to open a protected app, Habit Protector asks you to complete that reset first.
Which reset challenges are available?
Habit Protector includes guided breathing with ready-made or custom patterns, a 5-4-3-2-1 grounding reset, and movement challenges. It remembers your most recently used challenge settings.
Does Habit Protector read what is on my screen?
No. On Android, its accessibility service identifies when a protected app is in the foreground. It does not read messages, passwords, typed text, or page content, and it does not perform gestures for you.
Do I need an account?
No. You can use a local protection plan without an account. Account sync is optional and lets you keep supported rules and progress with your account.
