Finally seen the light

The only screen time app that has ever actually helped me, and I’ve tried them all. Just get it

really helps

Celery is the only app that’s actually helped me cut down my screen time! I have a pod with my college friends and having “take” time from them has really helped me curb my Instagram & Tik Tok usage

actually reduced my doomscrolling!!

I’ve tried using Screen Time before to manage doomscrolling but I would always end up clicking “ignore” to give myself a few extra minutes. Celery was the first app I used that actually helped me cut down on social media use since the only way to unlock an app is to request time from your pod (it’s also fun to see what your friends are up to when they request, kind of like Snapchat)

Great app !

the pod/group really creates accountability and effective to prevent me from doom scrolling

Finally something that actually curbed my screen time

Celery has honestly helped me cut down my screen time way more than I expected. The biggest thing is that your friends can see how much you’re using your phone, which makes it way harder to ignore your limits. That little bit of accountability actually works. I’ve tried Opal and Screen Time before but this feels more motivating and real. It’s simple, but it does the job.
