Awesome app

Long overdue: The dev reached out to me on Reddit a couple years ago and introduced me to this idea. I couldn’t wait for it to come out. I use it weekly at least when I really need to get it in gear so to speak. Thanks for creating this for us easily distracted folks. Can’t wait to see what else you come up with!

Effective!

Easy to use & has significantly reduced my screen time when I need to lock in and focus at work!

Wow!

Just fantastic! I got so much done. The times that I walked over to my phone, I immediately remembered that I had made a pact with Cobweb. I stopped in my tracks, pivoted and went right back to work. I’ll be using this app daily!

Do it!

Easy to use and works really well to keep me off my phone. Of course, the $$ aspect of it is really motivating. My mind feels calmer and clearer after even just 30 minutes of not picking up the dang phone. I’m going to start increasing the time now, baby steps!

It’s amazing how much clarity a 30 minute session can provide 💪

Great tool for productivity

Been using cobweb for a month so far and it’s really improved my productivity. If I know I have a task that needs my full attention, I’ll start a session and I no longer need to worry about distractions. The $ component definitely works to keep me accountable!

Hell yeah! 🔥 This is exactly how Cobweb is meant to be wielded - like a productivity superweapon. Nothing keeps your focus locked in quite like having skin in the game. Thanks for sharing how you're crushing it and keep it up 💪

Privacy, we’re 👌with your absurd Data Mining🤮

Have seldom read a privacy practice so filled with such words as We May, We Might, We Do data mine ALL your data and sell it off to the highest bidder (though probably also goes to the lowest) 🙈 There is literally no reason your app needs to have access to several of the permissions you ask for! Why do track aspects of a personal profile that have zero relevance to your app?

Contact Info??
Identifiers??

Hey straight-shooter! We dig that you're privacy-conscious - that's exactly the kind of awareness we're trying to promote. Let's get real about what we do (and don't do) with your data: 1. The bare minimum: We only collect your email and basic identifiers. Why? Because we need to know it's you when you're creating and account and completing your focus sessions. 2. Zero data selling: We're in the business of helping people break phone addiction, not selling data. Full stop. This is addressed specifically in our privacy policy. 3. We use your data for exactly two things: - Making sure your account works (so you can actually win your bets) - Fixing bugs (so the app doesn't crash when you're in the zone) Want to chat more about specific permissions? Hit us up at hello@usecobweb.com - we're always down to explain exactly what each one is.

It keeps me off my phone

I’ve tried lots of options to stay off my phone. Using a cash commitment actually works.

Please add an analytics dashboard so I can see how much time I’m saving!

Keep up the good work 👊👊

Try this!

This app is extremely effective at reducing phone use. I love the fact that you can set how much time you want to stay off the device, as well as set the amount of money that you wish to invest. It’s the only thing that has worked for me. The interface is intuitive and it’s actually fun to use.

Thanks for the positive feedback, we’re so glad it’s helping keep you off your phone!

Simple and effective

Took me a while to get over the mental hump but since I did I’ve been really impressed. I’m much more focused on work. Very clever mind trick!

Thanks so much for checking out Cobweb, I’m stoked that it’s been effective for you! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch at hello@usecobweb.com with any questions/feedback 🙏

Excellent

Easy to use and does what it promises. Short of getting rid of your smartphone completely, this is your best strategy to leave it truly alone for a while.

No dumbphone necessary. Thanks for the support, stay focused 👊

Once you build the habit, there’s no going back

Works super well. Really like the simplicity of use.

It took me a while to get used to starting a session when I want to read or do some work, but now it’s almost automatic because I like seeing how many hours I can rack up. Plus I think you can set reminders although I don’t always stick to them…

Please add a sharing feature so I can challenge friends to do a session with me in person.
