What is MindGuard?

MindGuard is a privacy-first Android app that automatically detects and blocks short-form video feeds — Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Snapchat Spotlight — entirely on-device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking.

What's in this release

• Reel / Shorts / Spotlight blocking — Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat
• CLICK_SAFE_TAB — Instagram blocks navigate to your Home feed instead of closing the app
• Per-app toggles — enable or disable blocking per app
• Focus schedule — block only during configurable hours
• Pause focus mode — 30-minute pause from the app or the Quick Settings tile
• Daily + all-time stats and clean-day streak tracking
• Adaptive app icon — purple gradient shield with EKG brainwave
• Play Protect compliant — passes Google Play Protect review
