What You’ll Achieve (and Why Short‑Form Hooks Your Brain)

Short‑form feeds exploit novelty and variable reward. Pure Detox pairs enforcement with ethical commitment so you can rebuild attention without relying on willpower alone.

Step‑by‑Step (Screenshots)

Install Pure Detox

Install from Google Play and open the app.

Enable App & Site Blocking

Grant accessibility and other required permissions to enable blocking.

Add TikTok/Shorts to Categories + Schedules

Select short‑form category filters and add TikTok; create a schedule for study or work hours.

Lock‑in Commitment (Optional)

Enable lock to prevent mid‑session exits. Emergency exit remains available and visible.

Troubleshooting (Bypass Attempts, Family Mode)

Turn on Family Mode to discourage bypass attempts. Keep emergency exits clear and documented. For research, use whitelists.
