Start with the 15-minute session shortcut, then edit your timer, budget or schedule.
- Notice the moment.
See an optional countdown. When your chosen limit applies, Tembrilo returns you Home.
Setup & support
A few things worth knowing.
What happened to Reclaim?
Tembrilo is the new name for the app previously developed as Reclaim by FarNorth IT. Its Android application identifier remains au.com.farnorth.reclaim, so the rename preserves the existing app identity and backup format.
How do I get started?
Open Tembrilo and read the app-detection disclosure. Choose Agree & open app detection, enable Tembrilo app timers in Android Accessibility, then return. Notifications are optional. Choose your first app to create a 15-minute session; edit it whenever you like.
Why does it need Accessibility?
Tembrilo uses foreground-app events to detect a timed app and Android’s Home action when your chosen limit or cooldown applies. It does not retrieve screen content, type, or tap inside other apps. You can disable access in Android Settings. Read the privacy policy for the full explanation.
When does a session reset?
A session starts fresh when you leave an app and return. Daily, weekly and shared budgets keep counting across visits. An optional cooldown applies after session expiry. Tembrilo is a voluntary self-control tool; you can change limits, pause timers or disable detection.
My timer is not detecting apps. What should I check?
Check app-detection health in Tembrilo Settings. Confirm the Accessibility service is enabled and connected, then switch to a timed app. Also check the timer is enabled, not paused and within its schedule. Interrupted monitoring is shown in Insights; missing activity is not reconstructed.
Why is the countdown missing?
Check Android notification permission and the Active timer channel. Settings → Guided permission setup can help. Detection and notifications have separate health checks. Status-bar chips, live updates and pop-ups depend on your Android version and phone settings.
Can I back up my settings?
Use Settings to export readable JSON through Android’s file picker, with history optional. A selected cloud provider may sync the file. Keep it private. Restore replaces your app settings and included history after confirmation; Android permissions must be granted separately. Existing Reclaim backups remain compatible.
How do I delete my data?
Settings → Clear activity history erases measured usage, return-home events and monitoring gaps while keeping timers and preferences. For all local data, use Android’s Clear storage/data or uninstall. Delete exported backups separately. There is no Tembrilo account or server-side usage profile.
