Take Control of Your Time with Grip!
I work in tech and my evenings used to disappear into scrolling after work. I tried Screen Time limits and other apps, but it was always too easy to ignore them.
Grip is the first thing that worked.
Having to pay to unlock the app once I hit my limit sounded extreme, but that small consequence completely changed my behavior. I started putting my phone down finally.
Now I actually spend time with family and go to bed earlier instead of doomscrolling for hours.
Simple idea, but incredibly effective. I wish I found this sooner.

Best Screen Time Control App!
I’ve tried a lot of apps for screen time control but Grip has helped me the most. There really isn’t any way to get around unlocking a blocked app without making a payment and that’s really helped limit the time I spend scrolling. Definitely get the app if you are trying to limit screen time!
Great
I love the idea of making me pay to use apps I don’t want to use but am addicted to. It’s an effective deterrent to help me spend my time how I want to instead of how tech companies want me to.
Love it
Iron Grip works well for weekends or days when I want to limit Instagram while still allowing short breaks. It noticeably reduced how much I scroll.
Power Grip is ideal for studying or class when I don’t want any temptation to use my phone, since it requires a $4.99 payment, it’s very effective.
Overall, I really like it and would say it’s better than Opal.

Grip
This app helps me stay locked in for sure. TikTok keeps me distracted from studying or doing homework so I just use this app whenever I'm struggling. It's easy to use, reasonably priced and will help build long term habits.
10/10!!
I started with Opal but I still found ways around it and would continue to bypass the locks so it didn’t work very well. With Grip it was much harder to bypass and kept me accountable which was needed. When an app is blocked it stays blocked which worked really well keeping me off social media and getting my screen time down

Would Highly recommend
Great app! I would def recommend if you really want to cut back on social media
good for stopping doomscrolling
This was an effective way to snap me out of mindless engagement with my phone. I recommend!!
Amazing app!!
I’ve been addicted to my phone for over a decade and I’ve been trying to create a healthy boundary for about a year now.
Most apps I’ve tried are really easy to bypass but this one actually works.

Way to take back your focus!🍊
Social media addiction faded away
I was a victim of social media addiction for many years. I have used many screen time blocking apps, hid my phone in a bag or just found ways to not have my phone around. Nothing worked because I’d need my phone for emergencies and I just didn’t know how to stop myself from doom scrolling. Grip’s paywall made me not only focus on myself but also now I cherish small moments of my life like spending time with my close friends at a cafe or taking a bite alone without checking my phone constantly.

Finally got my screen time under control.
Didn’t realize making instagram $5 to open is what was going to cure my addiction. Recommend everyone needing the best tool to block distractions.
An App I can’t cheat
I used Opal for a while and liked the focus sessions and stats. When I was tired or bored I still found ways around it. With Grip that stopped and honestly it was for the better. When an app is blocked it stays blocked. The limited unlocks make me pause and think if I really need it.
Opal also costs more. What I really like about Grip is being able to set how many times I can open an app each day. It feels like a promise I make to myself. For me this app has been much more effective at keeping distractions in check.
