Accessibility Service Explanation
GameBrek uses Android’s Accessibility Service to detect when a protected app opens during an active focus session, so it can show the GameBrek protection screen at the right moment.
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.
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.
What GameBrek is not designed to do
GameBrek is not designed to read messages, passwords, typed text, payment details, screen 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 sessions.
