Still Android preview 0.1.0 · Updated October 30, 2026
What stays on your device
Still stores your selected apps, focus timer, priorities, preferences, completed sessions, and manually entered social time on the device. The Android app has no Internet permission, analytics, advertising SDK, account system, or cloud synchronization. It does not upload this information. Browser progress is stored in that browser’s local storage.
Why these permissions are requested
- Usage access: while a blocked focus session is active, Still reads Android usage events to identify the package name of the app in the foreground. It does not read screen contents, messages, passwords, or webpages. This access is separate from Accessibility services; Still does not use an Accessibility service.
- Display over other apps: Still places a blocking screen over selected apps during a focus session. It does not suspend their processes, stop their background work, or mute their notifications.
- Notifications: an ongoing focus notification shows that app blocking is active and provides a stop action. On Android 13 and newer, you can decide whether to allow notifications. The blocking service can run when notifications are declined; Android still lists it under active apps.
- Foreground service: keeps the user-started blocking session running when Still is in the background. It ends when the session expires, you pause or reset, or you stop it.
- Installed-app visibility: the app picker lists eligible launchable apps. System apps are excluded except for known social apps; the launcher, default dialer, default SMS app, and Still itself are excluded.
You remain in control
Blocking is off until you choose setup and enable it. Android permission grants are made by you in Settings. You can end a session from the blocking screen or notification, pause or reset in Still, turn blocking off, revoke permissions in Android Settings, or uninstall the app. Still does not prevent these actions.
Limits of the preview
This is a signed development build intended for evaluation. Real-device blocking and permission behavior need verification on your phone. Android battery management, permission changes, split-screen, apps that suppress overlays, or force-stopping Still can interfere. Blocking does not prove a session was spent productively. Social screen time is entered manually from Digital Wellbeing.
Deleting your information
Clearing Still’s app storage or uninstalling it removes its local information. Android cloud backup and device transfer of app data are disabled. For the website companion, clear its site data in your browser. Data does not synchronize between the website and the Android app.
The website and downloads
The download page and web companion are hosted on Microsoft Azure. Normal website hosting may process technical request information such as IP addresses and user-agent details. Still adds no analytics. The portfolio’s font stylesheet is provided by Google Fonts. Android’s bundled interface does not request these fonts or other network resources. Tapping an external guide opens your browser.
