Great app

Barrier is overall better and more valuable than other app blockers. Barrier isnt just a hollow app that gives you nothing unless you pay. It has helped my sleep, productivity, and anxiety. This is the best app blocker on the market.

Best app ever

I have tried so many screen time app and this one by farrrr and itโ€™s free. I have been so much more productive and happier. You can customize what hours of the day you want certain apps off of and it I love the methods to keep you off the app I think itโ€™s so funny and smart. Literally recommending this to everyone I know. 100% try it out!!!!
