Store description excerpt

Time Value turns your phone's most distracting apps into a focus tool — by making it cost real money to open them early. Start a focus session, choose which apps to block, and get to work. If you give in and try to open a blocked app, you'll be offered three choices: a free 1-minute grace period, a 15-minute quick unlock for a small fee, or ending your session entirely. Financial friction makes the temptation feel real — and that's the point. FEATURES App Blocking Select any installed apps to block during your focus session. Social media, games, streaming — whatever pulls you off task. Financial Friction Early unlock costs real money through Google Play. The fee is small enough to be affordable, but large enough to make you think twice. Social: £1.49 · Entertainment: £0.99 · News: £0.49 Time Locks Set recurring schedules that auto-activate blocking — dinner time, bedtime, deep work hours — every day without manual setup. Exempt List Keep trusted apps (Phone, Maps, Banking) always accessible. They're never blocked, even during active sessions. Security Protect your settings with a PIN or biometric lock, so you can't just walk into settings and disable everything mid-session. Streak Tracking See your daily focus streak and total money resisted. Small wins add up. HOW IT WORKS 1. Select the apps you want to block 2. Start a session with a duration 3. Time Value monitors app usage and intercepts blocked apps 4. Unlock options are presented if you try to open a blocked app 5. Complete your session and build your streak Built for people who want to reclaim their attention without relying on willpower alone. The app is free. Distractions are not. Time Value helps you reclaim your focus by blocking distracting apps during work sessions. When you try to open a blocked app, you're shown a small fee to unlock it — financial friction that makes you think twice before giving in. How it works: • Choose which apps to block (social media, entertainment, news, etc.) • Set a focus session duration • Get back to work — blocked apps are intercepted until you pay to unlock or your session ends Why Time Value uses the Accessibility Service: Time Value uses Android's AccessibilityService API solely to detect when a blocked app is brought to the foreground during an active focus session. When detected, it displays an unlock screen giving you the choice to pay a small fee or return to your work. The Accessibility Service is used exclusively for this interception purpose. It does not read screen content, record audio, collect personal data, or modify any user settings. Users explicitly enable and can disable this permission at any time in Android Settings. Your data stays on your device. No accounts required. No tracking.
