Waste of time

There are so much better apps out there and even if u can’t find one just make one off and AI. Even that would be so much better than this rubbish

Essential for Creativity, Work & Rest

Stop the pings and the scrolling. Choose to live on your own schedule, not your phone’s. I tried this and stopped for a while, regretted and got it back. Excellent app,
