The check-in, and what it learns.
No account. Choose apps and support, review the data disclosure, then enable the required Android permissions.
The check-in itself
For a check-in, Rudder shows an opening question and your saved personal reason if you set one. Go back is immediately available; a circular countdown inside Continue shows when you can enter. Basic check-ins wait four seconds, Pause waits ten, and Choose a time waits two seconds while its duration choices remain usable. An active time allowance can let you return without another check-in.
Pick a mode, per app
When you add an app, you choose how Rudder should treat it:
Fixed setup
Keep your chosen check-in, pause or time reminder without adaptive settings. You can change or remove support yourself.
Adaptive
Rudder can suggest support changes based on your selected-app history and review answers, and uses adaptive settings you accepted. You choose whether a proposal becomes a change.
How adaptive mode actually changes
Rudder uses deterministic rules and recorded experience to decide when to offer a suggestion or ask for a review. It does not send your usage history to a cloud AI model. A suggestion can offer more support, less support or a different approach; you decide what to accept.
You can always see it, and undo it
Home and Support history explain your saved support, suggestions and reviews. You can change support in the app or turn off suggestions and reviews without accepting a new proposal. A trial ending follows the end date and scope you accepted.
What doesn't change
You choose the apps and support. Check-ins, time reminders and optional cooldowns have different behavior, and their confirmation screens explain the action. Rudder is not a disability accessibility tool and does not read screen contents or what you type.
