Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

Beeswax is an Android app that turns your phone into a dumbphone by blocking browsers, selected apps, and newly installed apps behind a 16-character lock code. It leverages device owner privileges to enforce restrictions that survive reboots and safe mode, offering a privacy-focused, reproducible-build solution for digital minimalism.

Target audience: Android users seeking digital minimalism, privacy advocates, and developers interested in device owner APIs
