User reviews

Best app ever

The best part about this app is not only that it gets you moving but when you wake up your apps are completely locked - you’ve taken no steps. This removes the mindless scrolling to start your day and gets you out of bed that much quicker! I am obsessed and have recommended it to so many friends!

Feel Better Already!

As a business owner, it’s a CEO responsibility for me to be present, connected, and leading on social. But even focused businesswomen are vulnerable to being excessively plugged in. That’s when I turned to brb. I feel better already. The full-day access to social apps on my phone was crushing my efficiency. Now I’m back on my strategic game — getting in my steps while I take phone meetings and speech-to-text emails. Strongly recommend brb to optimize healthy and focused leadership.

Love this app!

Absolutely fantastic! Easy to use and gives me that extra motivation to not only hit my step goal, but to keep moving in general. Thank you!

Amazing

Using this app I stopped my doomscrolling and started 2026 out locked in. Great app to stay organized and stay productive

Exactly what I needed

This app genuinely changed my daily routine in a simple yet powerful way. Sometimes I don’t even realize how much time I spend on my phone especially with socials and brb has made me way more intentional with how I structure my day. Instead of scrolling first thing in the morning, I’m moving, getting outside and actually feeling productive.

Im always down to try things that will positively affect my health, career or mental. It’s such a small shift but it’s made a noticeable difference. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants a healthier balance without deleting apps completely!
