Works well

Great brick alternative. Keeps me focused and off social media.

So helpful

This app has helped me pause and think about how I’m spending my time instead of mindlessly jumping on the passive dopamine hit of a scroll. It’s been super helpful, and I LOVE that it blocks apps and websites so I can’t jump through my normal loopholes 😵‍💫 1/5 of the price of Brick!! Same product!!

Balanced - flexible - effective

I've found this app and the card-scanning method very effective in removing distractions and limiting my time on the sites and apps that are designed to harvest my attention. I can get in if something necessary comes up, but it's enough of a deterrent to stop the easy escapes that end up sucking away more time/attention than intended. Excellent app and I really appreciate the affordability. Highly recommend.

Exactly What You’re Looking For

If you’re searching for this app, you’re too far gone, you should get it. It does exactly what you want it to do. It’s easier to take on the go than a brick, but just the act of having to take out a card is enough of a barrier to keep you off your phone. I also like the active time counter because it makes me not want to break my long streaks. Good stuff.

Reclaim your time

Much cheaper than using Brick and works just as well! I’ve already seen a major difference in my productivity and focus since getting Detach. Simple and effective!
