Permissions & Safety Transparency

Reel Counter is built with privacy as its primary foundation. Here's everything you need to know:

🔐 Accessibility Service API

Used solely to detect when short-form video players (Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels, Snapchat Spotlight) are actively visible on your screen to increment your counter.

What we NEVER do:

❌ Record or view your screen
❌ Read messages, keystrokes, personal chats, or passwords
❌ Access your camera, microphone, or gallery

📊 Usage Stats & Overlay Permission

Used strictly to calculate overall app usage time and display the floating counter badge over active videos. This permission allows us to show the real-time HUD while you scroll.

📢 Advertising & Analytics

We use Google AdMob for non-intrusive advertisements to keep all wellness tools 100% free for everyone. We also use Firebase for anonymous stability diagnostics to improve app performance.

Important: No personal identifying information is ever sold or shared. All ads are delivered by Google's certified network.

📱 Which apps does Reel Counter track?

We track short-form videos from Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels, and Snapchat Spotlight. You can enable or disable tracking for each platform individually in settings.

⏱️ How does the Floating Counter work?

The floating counter is a compact, draggable overlay that appears on your screen while you watch videos. It shows your current reel count and time spent in real-time, helping you stay aware without interrupting your experience.

🛡️ What happens when I reach my daily goal?

When you reach your set limit, Reel Counter sends a gentle notification encouraging you to take a mindful break. If you've enabled the App Blocker feature, the tracked apps will be automatically locked until the next day to help you maintain discipline.

💰 Is Reel Counter free?

Yes! Reel Counter is free to download and use, supported by clean Google AdMob ads. No subscriptions, no hidden fees, and no account required. All wellness features remain 100% accessible to everyone.
