I got this when it was just called filos and all of a sudden the same and icon has changed. I almost deleted the app cause I thought it was a waste of time! But other than that this app is amazing. It limits my doomscrolling to however long I allow (40min) and then I have more time for more important things 💕good things to say, only wish they would have warned of the name change.
I used to spend roughly 5-6 hours on my phone a day. Now I’m anywhere from 30 minutes - 1.5 hours. I, like a lot of people, use my phone when I’m bored or as a stim for my ADHD. I’ve really reclaimed my phone as a tool instead of an addiction.
The team is also responsive, polite, and all around amazing! They really care about their product and helping people.
I LOVE THIS APP!
I’m normally too strong for screen time apps (i’ll overpass the blocks and delete the restrictions) but this app is perfect for me. Not letting me scroll for a five minute break is the perfect amount of time to stop what i’m doing and get off my phone. Highly recommend!!!
I had a big problem with my screen time. I was constantly scrolling through reels on instagram and tweets on X. I found other cool solutions out there that had different ways to block my phone. What was nice with Filos though is that it didn’t offer me many different blocking solutions but rather suggested the best one. It’s anti-doomscrolling feature is really effective. I am seriously considering getting the premium version
Great app to control my screen time. Love it
Has really helped me stay off of apps. Best one I’ve tried so far
Well I did love the app. I went through the App Store and looked for a screen time app that didn’t have in app purchases. It seemed crazy to pay someone to make me use my phone less. This was my favorite app I had found. Then they completely changed the way it worked and added the thing I hate most! In app purchases!! :( oh well, guess I’m going to have to delete and look for a different solution.

You can reach out to us here: mehdi@getfilos.ioFilos isn’t just another app that I download and forget about. It’s actually impossible to forget about Filos. It keeps you disciplined and helps you achieve your goals effectively. I’ve cut down my screen time on Tiktok and Instagram by 50%.
Every morning, those apps are blocked unless I open Filos to unblock them. It’s justtt enough hassle for me to get up and start my day instead of doom scrolling tiktok first thing in the morning. This app is now literally a part of my daily life.
Go Filos!

Hi Sam, we're glad you were able to reduce your screen time thanks to Filos. We're glad to have you as a regular user. It's only the beginning! We have a lot more features that will be released so stay tuned :)Im a college student and often find myself scrolling mindlessly through social media procrastinating. It takes away the little time I have. I feel like a full digital detox, cold turkey would be too much. I think this app is a good compromise, it lets me stay in touch with friends and enjoy some screen time while letting me actually enjoy my free time.
