⚙️ How Pauze Works

Pauze uses Android’s Accessibility Service to detect when distracting content (like short-video feeds or social media timelines) appears on your screen. When detected, it automatically blocks or exits those screens to prevent endless scrolling.

🔐 Accessibility Permission Disclosure (Play Store Compliant)

Pauze requires Accessibility Service permission to function.

This permission is used only to:

Detect when supported apps and distracting content (Reels, Shorts, feeds, etc.) are opened

Automatically block or exit those screens

Pauze does NOT:

Collect personal data

Read messages or sensitive content

Store or share any user information

All processing happens locally on your device.
