User reviews

Enough of a barrier to keep me on track

Love this app. I struggle with focusing on what I need to get done sometimes in the mornings and I find myself doomscrolling to “get motivation”. This app has helped curb that inclination. Putting a time lock on my evening phone usage has been icing on the cake, my sleep hygiene is finally improving. This app doesn’t keep me off my phone but it does place enough of a barrier that I can get back on track when I get unmotivated or distracted.
