Where is it heading?
The market for distraction-blocking utilities is consolidating around apps that offer robust, system-level integration. Drunk Mode Keyboard remains exposed due to its reliance on outdated, bypassable mechanisms and a lack of active development.

- Widespread user reports of deceptive monetization and bypassable features create a negative feedback loop that suppresses new user acquisition and retention.

- Core concept provides a clear utility for social users
- Implement secure, system-level restriction to prevent keyboard switching
