Best screen time app

This app is a 10/10 in every way but I also expect improvements because I pay for this instead of a free app but if you add a to do list with the screen time that would be amazing also it would be nice to add your actual screen time into the app and the time saved goes from all time to daily and weekly also a normal schedule could be good thanks

Great app

Honestly, well executed. Just used the learn Arabic feature, and considering that’s something I do in my personal time, I don’t even have the urge to reopen the apps that distract me.

Amazing app

A great app that has definitely helped me lower my screen time. It isnt just like the other blocking apps ive tried and does a great job at tailoring your preferences into ways to control your screen time. Has great app design and runs smoothly.
