Why people use it
Distraction looks different for everyone. Simple Detox adapts to how you actually use your phone.
Block social feeds and games during revision, lectures, or coursework. Keep messaging and essentials available — you decide the list.
Protect blocks of time for writing, coding, planning, or client work. Start a session when you sit down; the phone stops competing for attention.
Reduce compulsive checking without deleting the apps you still need. Many users start with short sessions and build longer streaks over time.
How it works
In the app
Core screens from Simple Detox — focus setup, active session, and always-on protection.
Designed for trust
Simple Detox runs locally on your device. We do not sell your usage history. Optional Uninstall Guard helps prevent impulsive deletion during an active commitment — you turn it on yourself.
Active protection can resume when the phone boots — so a reboot is not an easy escape hatch.
Manual focus sessions and essential blocking stay accessible. Premium adds schedules, advanced modes, and deeper locks.
Available worldwide on Google Play. Install free, configure in minutes.
