Defang v0.1.2

Defang is an Android launcher that adds friction to apps that exploit your attention — an intent-gate countdown before watched apps open, a session timer, and a cool-down lockout after. Nothing is blocked; the pause is the feature.

What's new in v0.1.2

• New app icon — the fang. Adaptive icon with Android 13+ themed-icon (monochrome) support.
• Onboarding follows your system theme — light mode now renders properly; previously the light color scheme painted dark text on a black window, making headers nearly unreadable.
• Quieter onboarding button — the CTA is deliberately desaturated. A bright accent is the exact dopamine cue this app exists to remove.
• Bug fix — onboarding could launch multiple stacked copies on first run; it now launches exactly once.
• Refreshed screenshots (no display cutout) in the README and F-Droid metadata.
