kaiZen

kaiZen provides the ultimate solution for managing screen-time on Android devices. This app is uniquely designed to be bypass-proof, ensuring that once it is set up, the restrictions cannot be circumvented, helping you or your family maintain healthy digital habits. kaiZen works by only allowing a whitelist of constructive apps to be installed. The whitelist is manually vetted and grows based on user submissions. It can also adapt to the user's needs: if the they must absolutely continue to keep using one or more apps outside of the whitelist, they can add them as exceptions in kaiZen during the one-time setup that occurs after installation. Moreover, if an unexpected need arises, the user can enable emergency mode, a temporary state of up to 2 hours per week, when all of the restrictions are lifted. kaiZen is unique because it cannot be uninstalled right away, prompting the user to wait for a few days (chosen by the user during activation), before they can remove the app and lift all of its restrictions. The restrictions are absolute, making kaiZen an instant-cure solution: no installing apps from other sources (not even an USB cable), no safe mode circumvention, no changing the device clock to fake having waited the time. Believe us, we made it for us first-in-mind and tried everything. The only way to remove the restrictions is to wait out the time the user set when they decided to commit to kaiZen, or to factory-reset the device (in case of selling the device or similar contexts)
