AmnShield Docs

Welcome to the official documentation for AmnShield. This guide will help you configure the app for maximum digital protection and intentional focus.

1. Initial Setup & Permissions

To function effectively, AmnShield requires a few core Android permissions. Upon first launch, you will be guided to enable:

• Accessibility Service: The backbone of AmnShield. It detects current apps and reads on-screen text to enforce keyword blocks.
• Usage Access: Allows AmnShield to track screen time and enforce Launch Limits.
• Display Over Other Apps: Required to show the block screen or Smart Blur overlay when an infraction occurs.

2. Core Features

App Blocker & Schedules

Navigate to the Blocks dashboard to manage your app restrictions. You can create grouped schedules (e.g., blocking all social media from 9 AM to 5 PM) or apply Launch Limits to restrict how many times you can open an app per day.

Focus Mode

Focus Mode is designed for deep work. When activated, it locks down all distracting apps for a set duration. You can configure which apps are considered "distracting" in the Focus Mode settings.

Keyword Blocker

Add specific words to your Keyword Blocklist. If these words appear on your screen (in a browser, social app, etc.), AmnShield will immediately block the view or navigate back.

3. Smart Features (AI Moderation)

AmnShield features an on-device AI called Smart Blur.

• Enable Smart Blur: Go to the Drawer Menu -> Smart Features -> Toggle ON.
• Sensitivity: Choose between Low, Balanced (Recommended), and Strict.
• Exclusions: You can whitelist specific apps (like banking or work apps) to bypass the AI completely for performance or privacy reasons.

4. Error Reporting

If you encounter issues, AmnShield provides a local-only diagnostic tool. Go to Settings -> Error Reporting. You can view logs locally, and if you need help, you can export them and email them directly to our support team. No logs are ever sent automatically.
