App Description
StayBrief puts a shield in front of one app you open without meaning to.
Tap that app and the shield appears instead of it. Press its button and open StayBrief, and it asks what you are going in for and how long you need. Name both and press Start. The full selected duration begins then. Open the protected app and use it until you are done or the duration ends. When your time is up, it is protected again.
Nothing is chosen for you and nothing starts by itself. There is no session until you pick a reason and a duration.
HOW A SESSION WORKS
- Tap a protected app. The shield appears in front of it.
- Press the shield's button, then open StayBrief.
- Pick one mission: Reply, Post, Find, or Break.
- Pick how long you need: 3, 5, or 10 minutes.
- Press Start. The full selected duration begins.
- Open the protected app. Your Lock Screen shows the mission and the duration you picked.
- A warning is scheduled for one minute before the session ends.
- When the duration is up, the app is protected again and the session is written down.
A duration is one continuous session. It keeps running after you leave the protected app, while the phone is locked, and when StayBrief is not open. Three minutes ends three minutes after Start.
Finished in forty seconds? Tap "I'm done" and the shield returns straight away. The session is recorded as what it was.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your history stays until you remove it. Deleting
