I’ve been wanting to Curb my Doom Scrolling Habits as of Recent as I’ve been wasting waaaay to much time opening the Same Apps 5 Times in 10 Minutes.
One Method thats been Said to Work wonders in that Regard is to have Apps only be accessible after typing in a Password. After doing a bit of Light research it seems I’ll need an App for this as I don’t wanna deal with Samsungs “Safe Folder” needing a Samsung Account stuff.
Do any of you have Suggestions for Trust Worthy Apps for this?
Android’s “Work Profile” feature provides you a sandbox, allowing you to isolate “work” apps from your regular phone apps. I’ve never used Samsung’s secure folder, but it looks like the two are similar.
“Shelter” (Available on F-Droid) provides an easy way to setup and manage your work profile.
With the work profile set up, you can lock the work profile behind a separate password. (Settings -> Security & Privacy -> More security & privacy. Disable “Use one lock” and set a password)

Can confirm secure folder, that’s how I use it. And it’s neat that you can rename it and give it a different icon. Mine is “Settings” with a cog icon.
