Permissions Used

SuperMoose requires Accessibility permissions to operate.
SuperMoose filters the package names of apps supplied from the accessibility support in Android in order to figure out when an app is running or not.

The Usage Stats permission is used to figure out how long an application has been running preceding monitoring.
If this permission is not enabled, then the timeouts used for monitoring will not take into account the total amount of time that the app has been running for the entire day.

The Location permission is no longer used and will be removed in a future version.
It makes no difference if this is enabled or disabled.

The Draw on top of other apps permission is only necessary if the application timeout blocking window fails to appear.
If an application timeout window fails to appear, please try enabeling this permission.

The Contacts permission is used for getting a list of recipients for more app time requests.
In a future version, it will be moved to prompt when an email request must be sent.
