Makes kicking bad habits effortless and straightforward

App is extremely easy to use and makes kicking bad habits effortless. Before I can open any social media in the morning, I have to get up and out of bed to scan an NFC tag so I don’t end up scrolling for an hour. You could do this just as easy with a QR code. The location feature has been immensely useful to quit scrolling when I’m supposed to be studying at the library. Until this app, I had a real problem watching adult content at work. Essential app for anyone trying to gain control over the addictiveness of modern day social media. 10/10.
