 | Focus timer: tap the ring for a custom HH:MM:SS time, plus an "Overlay" button that floats the countdown over any app (tap once for a close X that leaves it running); Overwhelm overlay now follows the theme | ✅ |
 | Screen Time: mirrors Android digital-wellbeing into LifeOS and keeps it forever (survives Samsung's ~monthly purge) — weekly bars + average, week scrolling, per-app breakdown, unlocks, JSON export | ✅ |
 | Screen Time · Plants (custom photos + care atlas) · News · Downloader on Home; NAS server apps redesigned as an app-store list; Jarvis answers from a live data snapshot (note bodies included) and a Developer Options "Jarvis Debugging" toggle exposes snapshot/output/tool-calls with a copy button | ✅ |
+| Brick (§Module Brick): tap-to-block modes — pick blocked apps + optional per-app daily allowances, turn a mode on/off by NFC tag, time window or by hand, strict mode refuses early exits; blocked apps hit a full-screen wall via an accessibility blocker (the only route Android gives a sideloaded app). Blocking rules covered by unit tests | ✅ |
 | Deferred post-alpha: Glance home-screen widgets, HA WebSocket live state/zones, Vault unlock UI, first-run onboarding checklist (grants live in Settings → System access), FinTS bank sync | 🔜 |
