Meilleure appli de détox numérique

Franchement c’est bien la meilleure appli que je connaisse qui peut avoir un blocage aussi strict et irrémédiable qui nous permet de nous concentrer sur nos objectifs et tout ça gratuitement !!!

This has changed my life

This app has improved my sleep and my productivity astronomically I did not even realize just how bad my doom scrolling was! At first I kept trying to open the apps out of habit but now I go for multiple days without even attempting to turn it off or check social media! Genuinely my mental health has improved im sleeping better, and I’m getting more work done during the day.

I was not willing to pay the money for brick but after some looking I found this app! For free ! I have been recommending to everyone I know !

AMAZING!!

I absolutely love this app. The creator did a very good job designing it and I am very happy it is free. However, I would like a way to add suggestions for the app. My suggestion is that you make it so that you can have one tag lock it and a different one to h lock, and you can add more than one tag for each of these two actions.
