Hi everyone,

Im a solo Dev and need a view more testers for Guard. Im willing to test your app too.

Guard uses friction that increases everytime the user opens a blocked app. I think common App Blocker are too easy to bypass, so i thought, why not make a stand alone App Blocker.

Im interested in feedback, because its my first app. It was a bit complicated, but i finally finished Guard. On the next weekend i plan to make a (for me) major update, new layout, new stats and i also included many edge cases so the app runs smooth.

My direct Google group link:

I will also test your app in return!

Thank you

Hi everyone,

Im a new solo dev and looking for testers for my Android app Guard. My app doesnt need subs, has no ads and all data stays on your device or on your google drive.

Guard is designed to help reduce impulsive app usage by adding intentional friction before opening distracting apps.

What I need feedback on:

  • Blockscreen reliability
  • Device compatibility
  • UI clarity / ease of use
  • Bugs or strange behavior
  • Overall experience

Current focus:

  • Different Android devices
  • Accessibility behavior
  • Real-world usage feedback

Important:

This is a Google Play Closed Test, so joining the tester group first is required before installing.

Test link:

Honest feedback is highly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I’m the developer of Guard, a strict Android app blocker I started building a few months ago after asking myself one question: why are most blockers so easy to bypass?

Guard uses cognitive friction.
If you try to open a blocked app, you must complete a challenge:

• Pattern
• Math
• Countdown

The more often you try, the harder it gets.

No ads, no subscriptions, no shady data collection. Everything stays on your device or your own Google Drive.

Guard is currently in Google Play Closed Beta, and I still need testers.

If you’d like to support an indie developer building a real anti-doomscrolling tool, I’d really appreciate it.

The Play Store beta link is in the pinned post.

Feedback is very welcome — thanks!

(btw its my first app)
