Xiaomi phones require special permissions to open whitelisted apps. Follow our guide here: https://team.urbandroid.org/ddc-fix-whitelisted-apps-on-xiaomi/.

Automation
To start detox automatically from Tasker or similar:
- broadcast
- package: com.urbandroid.ddc
- action: com.urbandroid.ddc.START_DETOX
- time_extra: number of millies

Example:
adb shell am broadcast --el time_extra 60000 -a com.urbandroid.ddc.START_DETOX

Accessibility Service
To effectively block you from using the addictive and distracting apps the "Digital Detox" app may ask you to enable its Accessibility Service if you decide to use the cheating protection features.
We only use this service to block you from leaving an ongoing Detox without paying an accountability fee or using a quit code (the cheating). We do not use the service to collect any personal information.
See how the use of Accessibility Service works in Digital Detox: https://youtu.be/XuJeqvyEAYw

Device Admin
If granted by the user, the "Digital Detox" app may use the Device Administrator permission to (and only to) prevent users from cheating - make uninstalling of the app during an active Detox harder.

I've used this app for a couple of years and used to really like it. However, recently it has been malfunctioning. It often locks for my scheduled detoxes without showing my allowed apps. It also doesn't recognise when I have paid the accountability fee, so stays locked, until I try to pay again. Sometimes two payments are taken. I am deleting it because I feel like it's a scam to make me pay the accountability fee.

Hello, are you using some middleman 3rd party app during the purchase flow? In same cases, the approval of the purchase arrives with a delay from the Play Store and you may need to check back and retry tapping on the quit button. Please, contact support@urbandroid.org for a refund. Consider using the free Mentor feature. Thank you.

Brilliant app but very buggy. I've allowed all accept social media apps. More often than not, when the app is active it will not allow u make a call..i.e. the call function bugs out which is annoying when I want to make a call. I have to get around it by going into contacts finding my contacts first then calling them via the much longer process. Other than that it's a brilliant app and it's been three days of no social media for me.

Hello Shahnuaz, did you add "phone" apps to the list of allowed apps? What exactly happens, when you try to make a call? Could you please contact support@urbandroid.org, and give us some more details? Thank you.

Brilliant! I've done two 24 hour challenges now and feel so much better. I needed a little break for socila media and it's made me realise how much time I waste scrolling away. The app is perfect if you want some time away and you can pick and choose the settings to whatever your like. Highly recommend even if it's just to block distractions while studying and for that little break.
