What's New in Argue

2.2.1

August 26, 2026

The block screen now tells you where you stand. When a blocked app throws up the shield, it shows how much of your daily allowance you have already spent — "2/4 uses today" — so the choice to argue with Argo is an informed one instead of a blind one. • Your daily opens count now appears right on the block screen. • Fixed a crash when asking Argo about your screen time. • Argo is quicker and steadier in conversation. Small release. Mostly about knowing the cost before you pay it.

was good, then started using randomly canned responses, not actual llm

it would just say ermm "where do you think you're going? hold up let's talk about this," not responding to me saying "i have 3 opens, id like to use one" basically nulling the efficacy. doesn't work if the llm function doesn't. my goal isn't to abstain from tech like a monk, it's to reduce screen time, having guaranteed locks on it and guaranteed opens to a certain amount has been enough, until it decided to start acting up.

Would rate it 6 stars if possible

Initially downloaded this because I thought the concept was cool, but this genuinely changed my relationship with my phone. I tried clearspace and other phone-blocking apps but only on this one did my screentime drop DRASTICALLY. Finally get more time back doing what I should actually be doing anyways

The only thing that stopped my instagram addiction

Having to explain myself and the self accountability is surprisingly effective
