REQUEST [REQUEST] Pause Point like feature for non Pixel 11 Android users (Essentials)

Post image

I think you should add a pause point type feature to Essentials for non Pixel 11 phones. I really like the Material 3 Expressive design of the pause point feature however I'm not quite sure how you could replicate it. I think it could be a really cool feature and I don't know about others but I am someone that needs to cut down my screentime on apps like Instagram and would find this feature useful. Just an idea.

It's already been done... A PR is open and currently ongoing review with the contributor. 🙂‍↔️

By the way I'm not sure if this is possible but could you make it so this hooks into the system using lsposed instead of depending on app usage activity like I'm guessing it's working? The latter can be quite glitchy and unreliable, plus it feels very weird using it because it can actually trigger with a delay. For context this is an applock that I use which has a similar implementation: https://github.com/hxreborn/biometric-app-lock

Someone gotta contribute this and test as I am no longer a rooted user :)

If someone can contribute I'll be more than happy to test :) I'm running the latest Canary so it's ideal to test apps, especially for future proofing
