Your phone is designed to be addictive.
PIM gives you a fighting chance to stay in control.

Features

A little resistance goes a long way.

🔒

Restrict Any App

Pick which apps require a challenge before opening. Choose how long access lasts before you have to solve again.

🧮

Math Challenges

Solve a math problem to unlock an app. Choose Easy, Medium, Hard, or configure your own difficulty.

⏱

Access Timers

Set how many minutes of access each solved challenge gets you. When time's up, solve again to continue.

⚠️

Inconvenience, Not Blocking

PIM doesn't lock you out — it makes you do some work. Often that's all you need to stop endless scrolling.

"The inconvenience is the point."

Free on Google Play. No ads. No tracking.

PIM (Please Inconvenience Me) is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or share any personal data.

What data does PIM access?

PIM uses the following Android permissions to function:

  • App Usage Access — to detect when a restricted app is opened. This data never leaves your device.
  • Display Over Other Apps — to show the math challenge on top of restricted apps.
  • Query Installed Apps — to display the list of apps you can restrict.
  • Notifications — to show the persistent foreground service notification required by Android.
  • Boot — to restart the monitoring service when your device reboots.
  • Battery Optimization — to keep the service running reliably in the background.

Does PIM collect any personal data?

No. PIM does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers. All settings and preferences are stored locally on your device only.

Does PIM use analytics or advertising?

No. PIM contains no analytics, advertising SDKs, or third-party tracking of any kind.

Does PIM share data with third parties?

No. PIM does not share any data with third parties because no data is collected in the first place.
