Xiaomi phones require special permissions to open whitelisted apps. Follow our guide here: https://team.urbandroid.org/ddc-fix-whitelisted-apps-on-xiaomi/.

Automation
To start detox automatically from Tasker or similar:
- broadcast
- package: com.urbandroid.ddc
- action: com.urbandroid.ddc.START_DETOX
- time_extra: number of millies

Example:
adb shell am broadcast --el time_extra 60000 -a com.urbandroid.ddc.START_DETOX

Accessibility Service
To effectively block you from using the addictive and distracting apps the "Digital Detox" app may ask you to enable its Accessibility Service if you decide to use the cheating protection features.
We only use this service to block you from leaving an ongoing Detox without paying an accountability fee or using a quit code (the cheating). We do not use the service to collect any personal information.
See how the use of Accessibility Service works in Digital Detox: https://youtu.be/XuJeqvyEAYw

Device Admin
If granted by the user, the "Digital Detox" app may use the Device Administrator permission to (and only to) prevent users from cheating - make uninstalling of the app during an active Detox harder.

Great app. I just wanted to say that: people, always, and i repeat, ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK YOUR WHITELISTS. because in my afternoon to evening schedule, i forgot to add my work whitelist to it, so i was locked out of my phone for 4 hours =) And as i don't have access to payment methods(due to region limitations) i basically just had to wait until now. This of course is my fault and won't effect my review in any way. Also, well done for not leaving any way to bypass the restrictions :))

Hello Houman, you can consider using Mentor feature, that allows you to quit the detox if necessary - without the fee. For more details or help, please contact support@urbandroid.org. Thank you.

I'm pretty in love with this app! It makes it really easy for me to customize my experience so I can get done what I need without distractions. I pair this with the Forest app for when I want to completely get off my phone. For average use though I have white-listed my productivity apps and locked out my social media. The emergency use feature is great!

Very good. But it's not quite perfect - there's no 5-sec grace period if you accidentally hit the wrong amount of time . So it will cost you a dollar if you put 8 hours instead of 2. Also, the options from the long-press on the app icon don't tell you the amount of time in easy/medium/hard . . . But I like I have have several white-listed apps. And it was (good) hard to go to sleep last night without scrolling through the million things I wanted to do on my phone.
