what i was looking for

i never rate apps but this one deserves a rating! it was exactly what i was looking for: a visual timer so i could see how long i was on the app (it’s so easy to spend hours on an app without realizing) within a day i spent less than an hour on an app i normally spend 3-6hrs a day on! no other apps focus on the visual timer aspect, they just try to block apps without you knowing how long you’ve been on it. i am a visual person so this really helped me reduce screen time. also the instructions to add the shortcuts are super easy to understand i appreciate how easy the app is to use!

很创新的一个app

真挺好的

anyone hooked on TikTok!

Honestly, having the timer right up there on the Dynamic Island while I'm scrolling is genius. It keeps me in check without being annoying or in your face. Super clean, lightweight, and actually works!

使用起来简单便捷好上手!

灵动岛能直观看到app使用时间,很方便,期待更完善的功能👍

Great app great idea!!

I absolutely love this app!! it’s the only one that’s actually worked for me! I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it so many times. I’d delete it whenever the lock feature blocked me and I couldn’t bypass it, yet I always caved to mindless scrolling. But once I snapped back to reality, I knew I couldn’t live without it and redownloaded it again. After going back and forth countless times, now I'm only spend about 30min on tk and gradually get used to it!!
