What it does
Recognises when a protected app comes to the foreground during a session you started.
Accessibility
Why GameBrek asks for Accessibility access.
GameBrek uses Android’s Accessibility Service to detect when a protected app opens during an active focus session, so it can show the protection screen at the right moment.
Used only during protection momentsNot designed to read personal contentYou can turn it off anytime
Why it matters
Lets GameBrek hold the boundary reliably before the protected app takes over.
What it avoids
GameBrek is not designed to read messages, passwords, typed text, payment details, or private content.
Why GameBrek needs this access
GameBrek protects focus by holding selected apps during sessions you start yourself. Accessibility helps GameBrek recognise when one of those protected apps comes to the foreground, so the app can show a calm protection screen at the right moment.
What GameBrek uses it for
- Detecting when a protected app is opened during an active session.
- Showing a calm protection screen instead of letting the protected app take over immediately.
- Keeping the session boundary reliable across supported Android devices.
- Supporting a clear recovery path when a user chooses not to continue into the protected app.
What GameBrek is not designed to do
GameBrek is not designed to read messages, passwords, typed text, payment details, screen content, contact content, or private content from other apps.
The service is used for protection and intervention functionality, not for surveillance or personal content collection.
Your control
You can turn Accessibility access off at any time in Android Settings. If you turn it off, GameBrek may not be able to reliably detect protected apps or show the protection screen during active sessions.
