You Try to Focus... But Distractions Win
Modern phones make distraction effortless. NONOX is designed to make focused work easier to protect.
Endless Scrolling
Social feeds never end. One minute checking a notification becomes an hour of lost focus.
Constant Notifications
Every alert creates another impulse to leave your work, breaking your flow state instantly.
No Real Control
Most productivity tools ask you to resist temptation instead of helping you enforce your decision.
Built to Guard Your Attention
NONOX gives you stronger control over your phone so your attention belongs to you.
24-Hour App Lock
Lock distracting apps for up to 24 hours. Prevent impulse opening during deep work blocks.
Complete Phone Lockdown
Lock down the phone and maintain focus even after restarts. No quick reboot escape routes.
Task Force Focus
Create a focused session with the specific apps you choose to allow, while NONOX helps keep the rest of your distractions out of the way.
Discipline Tracking
Track exit attempts and understand your discipline and focus habits over time.
Privacy-First Core
Your task names, focus history, blocking rules, and core statistics are designed to remain on your device. Ads and purchases use Google services as described in our Privacy Policy.
Rewarded Extra Sessions
Free users may choose to watch a rewarded ad when the Task Force free allowance is exhausted to unlock one additional session. Pro removes this limit and ads.
24-Hour App Lock
Stop negotiating with temptation. Choose distracting apps and lock them for a serious focus period up to 24 hours.

Built by Geda Taye
Built by Geda Taye, a self-taught developer from Harar, Ethiopia. NONOX began as a phone-built personal focus tool and has grown into a Google Play Android app with app blocking, Task Force sessions, Phone Lock, statistics, rewarded ads for free users, and an optional Pro upgrade.
Frequently Asked Questions
Current answers for the Google Play version of NONOX.
Install NONOX through its official Google Play listing. We no longer recommend downloading an APK from this website. During testing phases, access may be limited to approved Google Play testers.
NONOX has a free experience with usage limits on selected features. When the free Task Force allowance is exhausted, a rewarded ad may be offered to unlock one extra session. An optional NONOX Pro upgrade is available inside the app through Google Play Billing.
NONOX does not use this website to sell Pro access. Digital purchases for the Google Play version are handled inside the Android app through Google Play Billing. The price and availability shown by Google Play are the authoritative purchase terms.
Accessibility is used for user-requested focus enforcement, such as detecting when a blocked app is opened and helping Phone Lock re-lock the device when required. NONOX is not designed to read or transmit private message content through Accessibility. See Accessibility & Permissions.
No. NONOX keeps its core focus data—such as task names, local statistics, selected apps, and blocking rules—on the device, but Google services used for rewarded ads and Google Play purchases can process data off-device. The exact categories are explained in the Privacy Policy.
The Google Mobile Ads SDK can process data such as IP address (which may estimate general location), ad or app interactions, diagnostic information, and device/account identifiers for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. This is separate from NONOX's local focus records.
If your Pro entitlement was purchased through Google Play, NONOX can check the eligible Google account and restore the entitlement where supported by Google Play.
Updates are distributed through Google Play. If automatic updates are enabled for NONOX, Google Play can update the app automatically when a new eligible release becomes available.
Install NONOX from Google Play
The website no longer distributes NONOX as a direct APK. Use the official Google Play listing for installs and updates.
Open Google Play
Tap the official button below or open Google Play and search for NONOX.
Install or Update
Google Play handles the app package, signature verification, installation, and future updates.
Complete Setup
Open NONOX and enable only the Android permissions needed for the focus features you choose to use.
Why NONOX Uses Android Permissions
NONOX requests sensitive permissions only for user-facing focus and lock features. You remain in control of whether those permissions are enabled.
Accessibility Service
Used to detect foreground app/window changes so NONOX can enforce user-selected App Blocker rules and support Phone Lock re-lock behavior. NONOX is not designed to read, store, or transmit private message content through Accessibility.
Usage Access
May be used to help identify app usage or foreground-app state for focus enforcement. This permission can be reviewed or disabled from Android Settings.
Device Admin & Lock Controls
Used only when needed for Phone Lock behavior such as locking the device during a user-started focus session. NONOX does not remotely control your device.
Foreground Service
Used during active user-started focus or lock sessions so time-sensitive restrictions can continue while NONOX is in the background. Android may show a persistent notification while the service is active.
Notifications
Used for active-session status and other app notices when enabled. Notification permission can be managed in Android Settings.
No Broad App Inventory Permission
The current Google Play build does not request QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES. NONOX uses narrower Android package visibility for relevant launcher apps instead of requesting unrestricted visibility of every installed package.
NONOX Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 17, 2026
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how the NONOX Android application and the website at nonoxapps.com handle information.
2. Core focus data stays on your device
NONOX is designed so core focus information such as task names, focus-session history, local statistics, selected apps, blocking rules, and similar configuration data is stored locally on the device rather than uploaded to a NONOX account or NONOX cloud database.
3. Google Mobile Ads / rewarded ads
The free version may use Google Mobile Ads to provide rewarded ads. The Google Mobile Ads SDK can automatically collect and share information including IP address (which may be used to estimate general location), user product interactions such as app launches, taps or ad/video views, diagnostic information, and device or account identifiers such as the Android advertising ID or app-set ID. Google describes these uses as supporting advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. Data sent by the SDK is encrypted in transit.
4. Google Play Billing
Optional NONOX Pro purchases are processed through Google Play Billing. Google handles payment credentials and payment processing. NONOX may receive purchase or entitlement information needed to unlock or restore Pro, but NONOX does not receive your full payment-card details from Google Play.
5. Accessibility and sensitive permissions
NONOX uses Accessibility and other Android permissions for user-requested features such as detecting when a blocked app is opened, enforcing focus restrictions, and supporting Phone Lock behavior. Accessibility data is not used by NONOX for advertising or marketing, and NONOX is not designed to collect or transmit the content of private messages through the Accessibility Service.
6. Website data
Like most websites, hosting and network providers may process standard request information such as IP address, browser/device information, requested pages, and timestamps to deliver and secure the website. The site may also load third-party resources such as web fonts.
7. Data retention and deletion
Uninstalling NONOX removes its app-local data from the device according to Android behavior. Information processed independently by Google services—such as Google Play purchase records or advertising-system data—is governed by Google's own retention controls and privacy terms and is not necessarily deleted when NONOX is uninstalled.
8. Children
NONOX is not designed as a child-directed app. Availability and age eligibility are governed by the target-audience settings and policies applied to the Google Play listing.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when NONOX features, SDKs, permissions, or legal requirements change. The updated date above will be revised when material changes are published.

NONOX relies on third-party services including Google Play and Google Mobile Ads for distribution, purchases, rewarded advertising, analytics related to ad delivery, and fraud prevention. Those services are also governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
6. Availability and updates
Features, limits, supported Android versions, permissions, and Google Play availability may change as NONOX is updated. We may modify or discontinue features when needed for security, platform compatibility, policy compliance, or product development.
7. No warranty
NONOX is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis to the extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee that every restriction will function identically on every Android device, manufacturer build, or operating-system version.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss arising from use of NONOX, including consequences of user-configured blocking or lock sessions.
