I love this! You don't see these types of apps for Android. I get the request for Foqos: https://github.com/awaseem/foqos Would you ever open source this?

Foqos: Block Distracting Appsstory by coffeecoder789 · 2025-08-14 · 0 comments

I launched Foqos here a few months back: https://github.com/awaseem/foqos and just working on the feedback. Since then added QR codes, breaks, ability to block apps manually and even a mini redesign. It’s been a ton of fun so far!

…had to send videos instead of having reviewers touch grass. I launched Foqos earlier this month: https://github.com/awaseem/foqos and the review was brutal plus the form you need to submit to get permissions for Family activity
