That was me for the longest time. Mindless scrolling first thing in the morning turned into an unhealthy ritual. Sluggish, negative, and quietly impacting mental health whilst wrecking the rest of the day.
Morning Shield is a productivity app designed to protect your mornings and help you build healthier routines from the moment you wake up. Instead of opening distracting apps right away, Morning Shield lets you set your morning alarms and temporarily block selected apps for a user-defined period after your morning alarm goes off. During this time, blocked apps are simply inaccessible! Giving you space to start your day with intention.
Everything runs entirely offline. No accounts. No tracking. No data collection. No uneeded slow junk. Just optimized, steamlined performance.
Set reliable alarms that wake you up on time and automatically activate your focus period. Morning Shield works even when the app is closed or your device restarts.
Choose exactly which apps get blocked after waking up:
Social media: Stop the first thing brainrot!
Games: No bed-rotting until you’ve earned it!
Entertainment apps: Start your day strong and on time!
Any app you decide!
Blocked apps stay inaccessible until your focus period ends. The duration is fully customizable!
Morning Shield includes fully local stat tracking to help you build better habits over time:
Successful morning streaks
How often apps were blocked
Total time of focus periods
Time taken to dismiss alarms
These stats exist only on your device, can be cleared at any time, and are there purely to help you stay aware and consistent with your goals!
Home screen widgets for quick visibility
Custom themes
A range of alarm sounds
Import custom alarm sounds
Accessibility options
Morning Shield adapts to your routine! Never the other way around.
Privacy isn’t a feature, it’s the foundation:
No internet access
No personal data collected
No analytics or trackers
No uneeded features
All processing happens locally on your device, to enhance your morning routine and ignite your focus. Your mornings stay yours!
Morning Shield uses Android system features to ensure alarms and blocking work consistently, even under battery optimization and modern Android restrictions.
Anyone trying to reduce morning screen time
People building healthier routines
Users who want real enforcement, not just reminders
People who finally want to stop the classic “just one more scroll” cliché
Regarding App Store Launch:
Currently, the main bulk of the app is already iOS compatible! However, due to Apple Developer costs, I can't afford to publish or properly test it! I really want to publish a iOS version to help more people, but to test I need a macbook (instead of my barely working VM), then I need to be able to afford $100 a year! Which based of all my apps being free, isn't viable for me. If this gets popular, I may launch a GoFundMe for this purpose, otherwise use my support links, spread the word and write reviews to make the iOS launch happen!!
