Being in the moment

Everyone should use the app

Simple

Great app which really works

What I need

This app has everything thought out and is super easy to use. I’m able to set my own limits and exclude things I want to. It’s been such a good personal challenge to myself to stay off my phone when I don’t need to be on it.

Different Choices

When I select an app and it asks me do I want to use it, I actually pause and ask myself that. It’s been very helpful. Including the days I am not having dinner the same time or going to bed. I make different choices. Which has been very helpful in reducing screen time

6 day streak!

I love this app! It has motivated me to actually be present. It’s so easy to use and keeps me accountable. After 6 days, I am seeing a shift downward in my stress level, distractions, and need to “log in.” Plus, I’m setting an example for my teens who are struggling with new screen boundaries implemented in our home. I wish I would have downloaded this earlier. I’m looking forward to a school year with less screens and more family time!
