Reduced my screen time

I love the app but there’s a glitch in the app. If I upgrade my phone or sometime restart during any strict schedule. The strict schedule keeps on even after the scheduled time. I manually have to go through the steps to come out of strict mode.

Best time blocker app on the iOS bar none.

This is what software was made for, it just works. No gimmicks or accounts, and much more customization than others. A one time purchase for pro is another huge plus. Thank you for creating this.

Changed My Life

More productive than ever. Made me realize how much time I waste. It’s okay to have fun, to slow down, and to have patience with my goals, but I have to keep trying because life is short. Thank you, Burnout Buddy.

So far so good!

I like the “strict” mode—makes you really think about why you’re unlocking the app, and I guess that’s all I needed. Impressed by this app!
