Keeps you from wasting time

It keeps you from wasting time and getting more important things done, easier!

Simple, Effective, & Worthy

Detach has helped me cut down on mindless scrolling and be more intentional with my time. The clean, intuitive interface makes it easy to use, and blocking both apps and websites helps me stick to my focus goals. It feels thoughtfully designed
and offers great value for the price. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to reduce distractions and
get more out of their day!

Very Easy to Use

For the price, the convenience of having a physical deterrent from brain rot is worth it! I’ve struggled with sticking to my screen time goals because of the incessant itch to scroll. I have a software-only setup that I bypass without even thinking at this point. I need something that would force my hand to focus more on what actually matters. Buying a dumb phone while still having access to my iphone won’t fix the issue either since it’s a grueling mental exercise to not even consider going on IG/FB marketplace. I feel more hopeful going into this. Wish me luck!

No more distractions

This app has be a total game changer for me so far. I’ve been able to stay off the phone during work hours which has lead to an increase in my daily productivity. I’m also sleeping better since I’m forced to minimize distractions before bed. It’s very simple to set up and use as well. Highly recommended!

Great App/ Great Price

I found Detach thanks to ChatGPT and was surprised to find a product with a free app and to add a physical element being only $9.99. I was looking at all the others and was hesitating due to the price. I ended up purchasing two physical RFID cards. While I waited for the cards to arrive, I began using the app immediately. I found it be helpful although it took a few days to get used to being shut out. I reached out to Detach for support as it was taking an extended time to receive my cards (USPS issue). I was shocked and amazed to get a reply from Eric, the developer. It was easy to tell it was a human on the other end and he was easy to talk with. I suggest the app to anyone that’ll listen and am happy to have found Detach.

Great price

This product has already made me more productive. Traditional screen time blockers never worked for me because I could just put in the password.

Great Brick Alternative

Easy to setup and can use it immediately! Also way cheaper, would recommend

Great App!

This has been a really great help when it comes to lowering my screen time. The strict rules and not being able to unlock it so easily help a lot with it.

Simple and works

I like the simple approach to lock and unlock with a physical card and you can remove temptation by leaving the card at home or somewhere else.

Great alternative to Brick

Has greatly bright down my doomscrolling time already. Much cheaper than brick. My envelope ripped and the magnet came missing but I got a reply from support an hour later telling me one would be shipped in the morning!

Great Product

The product has a great price point and purpose with a powerful walk to block caving. I do wish there was more modes that you could set up on top of either. For example another option that tapping the card allows a set increment of useable time for things like small breaks without completely opening the phone.

Amazing app

The app works just like brick, but is much cheaper and very customizable. Would recommend to all my friends 🙏🙏

Great app

Works for intended purpose. Much cheaper than other options

Response from developer

Hi, we're really sorry this happened. This is not the experience we want you to have. Please email us at getdetach@gmail.com and we’ll get this handled right away. We’ll send you a replacement card. Whether you need 4 new cards or even 30 new cards, we’ll make sure you’re taken care of. Thank you for giving Detach a try, and we appreciate your patience while we fix this.

Best app blocker out there

My wife and I decided to try this because we wanted the features and the price sounded too good to be true. Well, it wasn’t! With the cards we ordered, we’ve gotten so much of our lives back, and it’s been a game changer since I started med school. Highly recommend! And customer support is fantastic.

simple by design

as someone who has used previous app blockers this one runs smooth, no weird glitches, no waiting ages for it to load, just simple scheduling and programming to get you off your phone. i have mine set to be blocking from 9:30pm-11am and found myself tapping on my card to turn it off even more. having the physical card in a different room of my house helped immensely and made me far more aware of my scrolling choices. highly recommend!

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!
