The Vault: Focus Sentinel

1. Automate Community
2. Tools

​📌 What it does

​Ever find yourself mindlessly typing out phrases or sliding into distractions when you should be working? The Vault is an automated background guard for your focus.

It constantly monitors your screen layout for a custom list of specific trigger words or distractions. The absolute millisecond a flagged word is detected, the system overrides the screen and forces your device to launch straight into your coding environment (Pydroid 3), locking the door on distractions and keeping your productivity streak alive.


​🛠️ Required Permissions
​To allow the sentinel to guard your focus, you must grant two standard Android permissions when starting the flow:
​Accessibility Services: Allowed so the flow can visually scan screen text for your trigger words.
​Draw Over Other Apps: Allowed so the system can instantly launch your workspace over a distraction.

👨‍💻 Behind the Build

​I built this tool out of absolute necessity to act as an automated roadblock for my own mind. I wanted something that didn't just track my time, but actively stepped in to protect my programming goals when focus slipped. This is an early beta built using smart visual layout triggers, I'm sharing it with a small group of testers to see how it handles different devices and typing speeds. Drop your feedback below
