RemindToDeleteApps
In development
Phones accumulate apps you'll never open again. RemindToDeleteApps gives every install a configurable review date — when the timer fires, you decide keep or uninstall, with the app's actual usage stats in front of you.
What it does
- Per-app review-date scheduling at install or any time
- Usage-stats surface so you see actual time spent
- AlarmManager + BroadcastReceiver for survivable reminders
- PackageManager integration for current app metadata
- Local config, no account required
