### 5/5 — The best thing I ever bought

*2026-03-29*

I kept seeing ads for Brick, Bloom, and Blok and was actually thinking about getting one, but they all felt way too expensive. Then a friend told me about Detach and I was like, it’s $10, why not. That $10 literally cut my screen time in half. I’m the type of person where if I go on my phone in the morning, I’ll end up scrolling the entire day. Now I wake up and all my social media apps are blocked, and for some reason, because I don’t detach until two hours after I wake up, it actually works. There’s something about having a physical device that creates just enough friction where I don’t even want to unblock the apps. It kind of forces me to stay disciplined without thinking about it. And when I leave the house, it’s even better. I detach, and I don’t even feel the urge to check social media, not because I suddenly have more willpower, but because I know I can’t.

### 5/5 — so worth it

*2026-05-20*

this is the PERFECT balance between restricting screen time without feeling completely out of luck if you randomly need to get into an app. I love that it can come with me in my wallet, keeps me focused, but also gives me peace of mind knowing if there is a MUST reason to get into an app, I can!!
