Are you looking for a solution to keep apps from starting up in the background or a way to prevent an app from being launched at all?

hi - to prevent app launch - i used them to stop me twitching and looking at stuff too much

Have you tried out the new Focus Mode to see if that will do what you need?

Did you hit the little pencil icon at the bottom left of quick settings to add it?

hi - i didnt see a pencil but was able to add some apps to list (just didnt see the feature option listed as per pics i had seen
....it does stop third party apps ok .... more config and core apps would be cool too
....but it helps
thanks
