Android-Fokus-Einrichtung

1. Open the Settings app on your Android phone.
2. Scroll down and tap Digital Wellbeing & parental controls.
3. If this is your first time, you may see a brief intro — tap Show your data to continue.

Can't find it? Try searching "Digital Wellbeing" in the Settings search bar at the top.

1. In Digital Wellbeing, tap Dashboard.
2. You'll see a breakdown of how much time you spent in each app today.
3. Tap any app to see detailed usage over the past week.

This is eye-opening! Most people are surprised by how much time goes to social media. No judgment — just awareness.

1. In the Dashboard, find a distracting app (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube).
2. Tap the hourglass / timer icon(⏳) next to the app name.
3. Set a daily limit — we recommend 30 minutes as a starting point.
4. Tap OK to confirm.
5. Repeat for other apps you want to limit.

1. Go back to Digital Wellbeing and tap Focus mode.
2. You'll see a list of all your apps. Select the ones that distract you most (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X, Reddit, etc.).
3. Tap Turn on now to activate Focus Mode immediately.

1. In Digital Wellbeing, tap Bedtime mode (or find it under Manage notifications > Bedtime mode on some devices).
2. Set your bedtime schedule (e.g., 11 PM – 7 AM).
3. Enable Grayscale— this makes your screen black & white so apps look boring and unappealing.
4. Enable Do Not Disturb to silence notifications during sleep.
5. Tap Turn on as scheduled.

1. Open Chrome on your Android phone.
2. Navigate to the SammySam website (you're probably already here!).
3. Tap the three-dot menu( ⋮ ) in the top-right corner of Chrome.
4. Tap "Add to Home screen".
5. Name it "SammySam" and tap Add.
6. Confirm by tapping Add again (or Add automatically).

Now SammySam opens in its own window — no browser bar, no tabs. It looks and feels like a native app!

1. Long-press the SammySam icon on your home screen.
2. Drag it to the first page of your home screen (the one you see when you unlock your phone).
3. Place it where your thumb naturally rests — making it the easiest app to open.

Make it your default impulse. When you reach for your phone, SammySam should be the first thing you see — not Instagram.

1. Go to Settings > Digital Wellbeing > Focus mode.
2. Make sure your distracting apps are selected (from Section 1, Step 4).
3. Tap "Set a schedule".
4. Pick the days and times for your crochet sessions. For example:
   • Days:Monday – Sunday
   • Time:7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
5. Tap Set to confirm.

Need a quick peek at a paused app? Focus Mode has you covered:

1. Tap the grayed-out app icon — you'll see a "Take a break" option.
2. Choose 5 minutes, 15 minutes, or 30 minutes.
3. The app unlocks temporarily, then Focus Mode resumes automatically.

This is great for quick replies or checking something important without fully turning off Focus Mode. Use it sparingly!

1. Open Settings on your Android phone.
2. Tap Apps (or Apps & notifications).
3. Find and tap SammySam in the app list.
   (If you added it to your home screen, it should appear here. If not, look for Chrome > Notifications > Sites> SammySam.)
4. Tap Notifications.
5. Toggle Allow notifications to ON.

Our notifications are designed to be helpful, not annoying. Here's what to expect:

• Gentle reminders:"Your Momo the Frog is waiting! Ready to add a few more stitches?"
• Progress celebrations:"You crocheted 3 days in a row! Your streak is on fire!"
• Weekly check-ins: A summary of your screen time progress and crafting milestones.

You can customize or turn off any notification type later in your SammySam settings. We respect your time and attention.
