PureShield Release Notes
v1.1.2 - First Public Release
PureShield is now publicly available on GitHub.
This first release introduces a lightweight, privacy-respecting Android Application focused on digital wellbeing: blocking short-form content (Reels/Shorts) and filtering harmful web content, all without collecting any data.
Highlights
- Reels/Shorts blocking for supported social apps:
- YouTube Shorts
- Facebook Reels and Facebook Lite Reels
- TikTok
- Optional uninstall protection with PIN (Device Admin), designed to reduce impulsive uninstall behavior
- Optional start-on-boot so protection can resume automatically after restart
- Optional Private DNS presets via Android system settings for safer browsing profiles
- Custom reminder text support for more meaningful, personal block messages
- Low-priority persistent notification to improve blocker reliability
- No ads for a cleaner, distraction-free experience
Privacy and Security
- On-device processing only (no cloud processing)
- No account required
- No ads, no analytics, no telemetry
- No INTERNET permission requested by the app
Notes
- Accessibility Service is required for the core blocking feature and is user-enabled only.
- Device Admin is optional and used only for uninstall protection when the user enables it.
