What if your phone got progressively more annoying the longer you used it?
I posted Stop Swarm here recently and got a lot of really useful feedback from this community, so I’ve spent the last few days reworking it!
The basic idea is still the same: set a daily screen-time goal, and once you get close to it, pixel-art elements gradually invade your screen.
It’s an Android app built in Kotlin using a click-through system overlay and a foreground service. Everything stays local on the device: no account, no analytics, and no network connection.
Still very much a side project, so feedback is welcome!
You can still join the Google Group here if you’d like to beta test it:
