How to add an App manually to Block/Allow List on Android?


You can add Apps manually to App categories in ScreenCoach to allow/block, using their App IDs. This is helpful in few scenarios.


  1. Some Android devices (modified OS by the brands like Samsung, Huawei etc) - they may have their own launchers for Apps. ScreenCoach may block these launchers if they are not added to allow list.
  2. Sometimes, you may not find a particular App in the list of Apps inside the App Categories window in ScreenCoach.


Note: You can find this App ID on the block screen of ScreenCoach.


Here is an example scenario:


  1. ScreenCoach has blocked the weather app - and displays the block screen


  1. On the block screen, look for the App ID below - The app "Weather has been blocked


  1. The App ID here is - com.sec.android.daemonapp


  1. On your Parent Device - Open ScreenCoach - Go to Settings - App Category - Choose the App Category you want to add this app to - Choose Android
  2. Tap on the "+" icon on the top right - Enter a Name for this App (For example: Weather) - And enter the App ID we just got from the block screen - com.sec.android.daemonapp.
  3. Save and Apply.



Now the App is added to an App Category. You can add this to a mode to Allow/Block.


Tip: To make this App as an Always allowed app, you may add this App to the Always Allowed category.
