Description
Offimo inserts a short, deliberate pause before you open the apps you chose to protect, TikTok, Instagram, whatever pulls you in. You still decide if you want to go in. Commitment Mode locks focus during set windows when you'd rather not have the option to negotiate at all.

Could you build this?
Partial While the logic of a deliberate pause is simple, implementing app interception on iOS or Android requires deep OS-level native integration with restricted APIs like Screen Time / FamilyControls.
What it would actually take: On iOS, this requires deep implementation of the FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity frameworks, which restrict app launches and require special entitlements approved by Apple. On Android, it necessitates AccessibilityService, UsageStatsManager, and overlay permissions (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW) that are aggressively killed by battery managers and closely scrutinized by Google Play. Getting reliable, background-proof app interception working across modern mobile operating systems requires experienced native mobile developers.
