Just get it ### 5/5 — really helps *2026-03-14* 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 ### 5/5 — actually reduced my doomscrolling!! *2026-03-13* 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) ### 5/5 — Great app ! *2026-03-13* the pod/group really creates accountability and effective to prevent me from doom scrolling ### 5/5 — Finally something that actually curbed my screen time *2026-03-13* 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. ### 5/5 — Refocuses my life *2026-03-13* Great little app that allows me to be more social with less media ### 5/5 — The Best Screen-time Management App *2026-03-12* This is the most effective screen time management app I’ve ever used and I really like how it adds a social element of being able to see your friends and text each other in the group! ### 5/5 — Actually does the job *2026-03-10* The fact that I have to go into a group and take time from my friends actually does make me rethink whether I need to use insta or TikTok. Great app! ### 5/5 — Realistic Solution *2026-03-10* Being able to check out time is so much more realistic than large chunks of blocking your phone with something like Brick. The social aspect and taking a photo keeps me off my phone more than anything. ### 5/5 — I am becoming a person again *2026-03-10* Celery has changed the game for me. I used to spend hours a day on social media, and now with the accountability from my pod I spend less than 10 minutes a day. GAME CHANGER. I am telling all my friends/family/coworkers literally everyone I know download it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
