Note that i made this for myself and I am just getting started sharing an application in lemmy platform.

What is ScreenGuard?

ScreenGuard is not just a screen time tracker But a Digital Wellbeing application, currently in the making.

Came up with this application with one aim in mind…To Control daily limit for myself as my doomscrolling had worsened quite a lot even while working. So decided to make this as an alternative to Digital wellbeing on Android.

Some Key features :

* focus mode

* per app daily limits

* background daemon

so far i was able to make it work only on GNOME mutter and all x11 because that is my system…will consider updating in future if this receives positive reviews

I use fedora 44 workstation and it runs perfectly for me…and also tied it on manjaro and linux mint on my VMs with x11 , worked there too…so please check for yourselves and do tell me how it goes

NOTE: if you are a dev then please feel free to contribute as this is a very tedious long term project. Any help is great help especially because I want to keep the main codebase clean from llm generation and maintain for basic debugging purpose only conduct in this project.

    Glad you asked because it was not enough for me…let me give you 3 important reasons:

    1. Gnome wellbeing doesn’t have per app limits enforcer and per app usage
    2. focus mode (with pomodoro upcoming in next version u can check beta) not present which locks out selected apps like android
    3. this aims to be a digital wellbeing application integrating all android features + more in the long run, so in the next few years or so with the help of the community i aim to make it into full fledged digital wellbeing with parental controls etc and also extend to othe DEs like kde etc

    I made this app from personal feeling of missing out features

    Thank you 😊
