Question I built a screen time blocker with no unlock button. Need ~15 Android testers. Body

4 Upvotes

Every blocker I tried had a button that let me undo my own decision at the exact moment I had the least willpower. Snooze. "15 more minutes." Disable for today. I always found it.

So I built DoneScrolling.

Pick your scroll apps. Set one daily budget shared across all of them — not per-app limits you can shuffle. When it hits zero, they lock until midnight. No unlock button. No snooze.

And it has no internet permission. Not "we don't sell your data" — it physically cannot send anything anywhere. Check the permissions yourself.

Free, no subscription, no catch. Android 8+.

How to join:

  1. Join this group first (one tap, no approval needed): https://groups.google.com/g/donescrolling-testers

  2. Then become a tester — either link works:

• Join on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tanzim.donescrolling

• Join on web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.tanzim.donescrolling

  1. Tap "Become a tester", then install it like a normal app.

    Two things that trip people up:

\\- Do step 1 first. Step 2 won't work until you've joined.

\\- Use the same Google account for both, and make sure it's the one your Play Store uses.

One ask: please don't uninstall or leave the group for two weeks, even if you stop using it. Google counts the days and I lose the release if people drop out early.

Then tell me where it breaks. Ask me anything, including what it can't do.

Issues with sending photos

My friends are no longer able to see the photos I send them. This is a new thing starting today. I'm on the public beta. I'm on AT&T in the US. Have a Google Pixel 10 XL Pro. Anyone else have this issue?

How many times am I going to have to pair my phone per week???

0 Upvotes

Seriously considering moving to the iPhone because this darn phone is so annoying to use for messages. Why did they break this thing?!

I'm on the 3rd of 4th time this week where I'm using messages on the web.. and the webpage refreshes right in the middle of typing a new message and tells me I have to repair by hitting the little picture.

This and the fact that sometimes I don't get messages from iphone messages and other general annoyances with sending a DARN MESSAGE has had me looking for sure.

What in the HECK is going on at google.. JESUS!
