There Is An App For That - Ask Us !

Looking for an app that can stop/force close an app that we select for a duration set by the user or between the timeframe like 10 am-1 pm. If its add free then great. I know one which is no root firewall and it works well, but it fools the phone that a vpn connection is set up. No problem with that, but the battery drain is on the higher side.

Need it for someone's phone, in that phone's stock rom only. AFAIK GW can cut off access to mostly all apps and not for a user selected app.

No, i tried it for some apps.
You can select app timer for each app and GW will not allow you to access that app for that entire day. (But you can delete existing timer and use it again from settings. there is no "No Means No" strict actions).
Schedule time feature is not there.

There are more apps

*play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.actiondash.playstore

*play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=phosphorus.app.usage.screen.time

Xiaomi and others implementing digital wellbeing like services on their OS..
MIUI etc

With Android 10, Focus feature is being rolled out for Wellbeing app..

Brother can you please tell me how to block a specific app in ActionDash? I will purchase the pro version if it solves my purpose.
I have found Blitz. Presently it is working as intended for me.
Please share its link.

I am not using action dash..
Best way to learn app functioning is to go through every setting..
From its dev
"Unfortunately, as of now, that is not a feature of Action Dash. But Thanks for the feature suggestions. We'll give it some thought, and evaluate how much work would be involved, whether we agree its a good fit for Action Launcher, and how it aligns with the current plans for future Action Launcher updates. We encourage you to keep an eye out for future updates."

what are your favored NON-STOCK dialer/contacts apps?
when you search for a contact in the default android dialer, you cannot select it. you can only dial it. so, to forward a number, you cannot simply search for it and select it and forward. you have to hunt it down manually.
im just looking for a dialer/contact app that is lightweight and is not retarded like the default one.

any "feature" would be extra, i just want to get rid of the default dialer/contacts.

im not looking for bloatware/malware like Drupe or Truecaller.

I would suggest you to try any custom rom of your choice from xda site.. (you can flash gapps over it)..
You will get better (trust me, its better) dialer app (with build in call record feature) and contact app from custom rom (android stock)..

or

try Google phone app and google contact app. Install it from play store.
Phone = *play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer
Contacts = *play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.contacts
Any case you can't download and install "phone" app from play store.. try from below site..
Phone = Google Phone APKs - APKMirror
Contacts = Google Contacts APKs - APKMirror
in case new version does not work on your android.. then try..
Google Dialer (old) APKs - APKMirror

or

try patch version of google phone

Try this

*play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.mobilesoft.appblock

*play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wverlaek.block

*play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stayfocused
Thank you bro. Will check in the morning. Do these apps limit/block background data access of the target app also?
