Not on Google Play Store
Chastify is not currently available on Google Play Store. The Device Control module uses accessibility services, device admin, and overlay permissions to enforce app blocking and screen time — functionality that Google's policies restrict for apps on the Play Store.
The app is distributed directly and receives updates automatically through the built-in APK updater.

- Overlay — show blocking screens over restricted apps
