Copium

Copium for Android

Calm screen time, with a friend who feels it.

Meet Fluff. The longer you're on your phone today, the more tired Fluff gets. Copium counts your short videos, reminds you to rest, restricts what pulls you in, and rewards calmer days with sparks.

Fluff lives on your screen time

Fluff starts every day sparkling. As today's screen time adds up, it grows tired, foggy and finally fades. Slide to see how it feels.

Fluff, Sparkling

0 min of screen time

Sparkling

Fresh, bright and full of energy. A calm day so far

Everything to scroll less

Gentle by default, firm when you want it. Every part works on its own, so use only what helps you.

Your real screen time

Today's time and every app you used, from Android's own usage record. A month of history in a graph: pinch for this week, tap a day to see it.

Short-video counter

Counts the short videos you swipe through in Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Facebook Reels, Snapchat Spotlight, Moj and Josh. Add other apps too.

A pause after too many

After 100 videos in one app (you pick the number), a calm full-screen pause steps in. More time is possible, after a short wait.

Rest reminders

Every hour by default, a full screen with a 20-second rest, or a small bubble with Fluff. Turning the screen off for a minute counts as rest. Never during calls or alarms.

Focus

Restrict the apps, sites and categories you choose for 5 minutes to 12 hours, with a calm aurora to look at instead.

Today's score

A score out of 100 from your screen time, short videos, today against yesterday, rest breaks and the limits you kept, with tips for tomorrow.

Widgets and live notification

Fluff on your home screen, today's numbers, and your five most used apps. A live notification shows the next break, or your time in the app you're using.

Your data, your file

No account and no cloud. Export a backup file of your settings, rules, history and sparks, and import it on a new phone.

Fluff's sky

Home's sky follows the time of day, with sun, moon and stars. Turn on the weather and it rains, snows or clears up with yours.

Restrict apps, sites and categories

Pick what to restrict, how, and how firmly. Sites are restricted in Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet, Edge, Brave, Opera, DuckDuckGo and Vivaldi.

Four kinds of rule

TimerRestricted from now for 5 minutes up to 5 days, or always.
ScheduleRestricted at set times on the days you choose, like bedtime.
SessionUse it for a while at a stretch, then it's restricted for a break.
DailyA daily allowance. Once it's used up, it's restricted until tomorrow.

Three strengths

GentleUnrestrict any time, after a 5-second wait.
LimitedUnrestrict up to 3 times a day.
StrictNo way past until it ends.
SparksExtra time costs 2 sparks per 5 minutes, and changing a rule that's on costs 15, so there's no easy way out.

Calmer days earn sparks

Every finished day is scored. Spend your sparks on new Fluffs, in any order. Some also need a streak of good days.

up to +15for less screen time than your week's average
up to +10for fewer short videos than usual

    Private by design

    Copium works on your phone. Here's the short version; the privacy policy has every detail.

    Your screen time stays with you. The apps you use, your history, rules and sites are kept on your phone.

    No account, no ads. Copium never asks who you are and never reads the advertising ID.

    Accessibility, only for counting. It looks only at the short-video apps you choose, and at a browser's address bar while you restrict a site.

    Never over banking apps. Nothing from Copium appears over payment and banking apps.

    Weather is optional. Only an area of about 10 km is sent, to MET Norway, at most once an hour.

    Usage statistics you can turn off. Only which screens of Copium are opened, never your apps, sites or screen time.

    Questions

    Is Copium free?

    Yes. There are no ads, no subscriptions and no purchases inside the app. Sparks are earned by using your phone less, never bought.

    Why does Copium need Accessibility?

    To count the short videos you watch and to see which site is open while you restrict one. Copium listens only to the short-video apps you choose and, while a site is restricted, to the browser's address bar. It never reads messages, passwords or anything you type, and it doesn't save or send what's on your screen. If you turn on “Hide in screenshots”, it also notices the volume-down key while the floating counter shows, so the counter can step aside for your screenshot.

    Why does it need Usage access and "Display over other apps"?

    Usage access gives Copium your screen time and the app in front, for the numbers, reminders and restrictions. Displaying over other apps lets the rest bubble, the restriction screen and the counter appear above the app you're using.

    Does anything leave my phone?

    Your screen time, apps, sites and rules stay on your phone. Only three small things can go out: anonymous usage statistics (which screens of Copium are opened; you can turn them off), your rough area for the weather (only if you turn it on), and a request to a site you restrict for its own icon. The privacy policy explains each one.

    How do I move Copium to a new phone?

    Settings, then Your data, then Export backup. Save the file, and on the new phone choose Import backup. Your settings, rules, history, sparks and Fluffs come with it.

    Which phones does it work on?

    Android 8.0 and newer. On Android 16 the live notification can show as a Live Update chip in the status bar. Some phones stop apps in the background to save battery; Copium shows you how to let it run, so reminders arrive on time.

    I have a problem or an idea.
