Best App to Limit Screen Time
Finally someone who cares to make a helpful app with no strings attached when they say free. Truly an awesome app and super easy to use.
this is the BEST screentime app
I’ve tried almost ALL of the screen time apps on the app store, and none of them worked for me.
This app is literally everything I wanted in a screen time app - NO SUBSCRIPTIONS, NO ADs, super customizable to help me achieve my goals every day, and also the fact that I’m unable to bypass it easily like some other apps. It actually keeps me accountable and keeps me on track to my goals before unlocking my distracting apps. This is the best screentime / productivity app for anyone who’s searching for one!

Just what I’ve been looking for
I’ve tried many screen time apps and none compare to the level of control this one does. This has helped me to reach my daily goals as well as reduce screen time allowing me to be more productive. Timed locks help keep me in line when I would have simply ignored or turned off the restriction in other apps. Shortcuts integration allows for custom tracking outside of what’s already provided. 4 stars only because there are still some UI improvements I would love to see to make this app even better.

Easily The Best Productivity App
I have tried every other productivity/app blocking app and this blows them all out of the water. There’s always so much nonsense added to them which is especially annoying for apps claiming to want to save you time. This app has all the features you need PLUS habit blocking which has been shockingly effective. The one-time purchase for extra habit functionality is great value too. I don’t mind paying for a good app as long as it’s not a subscription and this is a great app. Looking forward to desktop support next!

BEST Screen Time App
To be honest. This is the first real and most useful Screen Blocker App I‘ve ever seen. The idea to finish your habits first is amazing. Keep it up and stay disciplined!
Good mission, but lots of bugs.
The good: the 24 hour+ lock is great, good way to set up unbypasseable settings in a way that you can still technically reverse in a day if you figure out something is wrong.
Location based is very clever and perfect for me since there are apps that I want to use when I’m out and about but are distracting when sitting at home. Only issue is it doesn’t work — location blocking only seems to update when you re-open the app, which defeats the purpose of it.
After experimenting with location I decided I’d just add a time frame block like other apps do and call it a day until location is fixed. The only issue is that, with the most recent update it seems time frame has been removed. Perhaps I’m just missing it, but if not please add it back.
Also: you should add a block for when Bluetooth is connected. Specifically when Bluetooth is in range, rather than just an unblock when Bluetooth is connected. I want to block certain apps when I’m at home, which means my car which is Bluetooth will be near me. But at work or when out with friends, I’ll be away from my car most of the time. And disabling Bluetooth should immediately force a block as you’re trying to get around it.
Btw if location seems unfixable, I’d personally be happy with location + periodic block maybe every hour that only unblocks if you open the habits first app. That way, it’ll force a location refresh. You can have that as a lockable setting as a fallback. At least until you figure out a different fix. I want to support this app, I hope you fix these issues. Thanks n

Deadlock
Making a former free feature paid and therefore deadlocking my ability to track progress and open apps (using shortcuts) is crazy. Needed to use a emergency unlock. Otherwise good app.
Amazing app to build habits
Does wonders and works reliably unlike other screen time apps that most off the time try to get you to buy a subscription. This has a one time purchase of only $10 that isn't really required as most of the options you'd want come in the free version
Works like a Charm
It really helps. Keep me off my phone since it worked with positive feedback.
Finally a habits app that works!
Holy moly - I’ve been searching for an app like this for years. Blocks apps and website effectively, links directly to your habita, but also importantly - is privacy focused. Thank you for building this, it’s really made a positive difference to my life already.
Works well
Really love the input taken on from other screen time apps and made this. Big fan of the app. Has helped me with me picking up my phone unnecessarily.
amazing!!!
One of my favorite screen time apps I've installed, I love the reward system and how customizable it is. There's an option to buy more features, but I have never bought them and the app still works perfectly for me.
The only complaint I have is that the manual timer will pause if your phone is locked, forcing you to keep it on.

Wow
Best screentime app. Thank you!
absolutely incredible
I don’t think most developers understand what people actually want out of their app blockers they don’t want motivational quotes and leaderboard. They just wanna block the app and move on with their life. This app does that it’s simple. It’s the cheapest one I’ve ever seen and you have a developer legitimately cares about productivity
Note: there is one issue with scheduling; if you set a schedule restriction, sometimes it won’t automatically block during the schedule; hopefully that will be fixed in a future update.

Best habits app I had
I‘ve tried many habit apps but all of them are just do it then check it.
I’ve never thought about combining it with my screen time and it works effortlessly. I‘ve stopped watching YT in the morning and instead I do my daily Duolingo.
One thing I would add is a nfc tag blocker. There are a lot of apps and blockers like bloom or brick and I’ve already bought the thing so if we could also integrate this in the app would be great.
But the developer works on it constantly so there’s no reason to give it not 5 stars!

Really like it but 1 thing
I really love this app and it’s helping but it’s blocking me deleting any app off my phone. I have the block deletion setting on, but It’s not allowing me to delete anything off my phone
Amazing app to control your doomscrolling
This is the app you need to end the doomscrolling. Set yourself mini goals to achieve before you’re able to use certain apps. It’s like screen time, but for adults. Want Instagram, go for a 30 minute walk first. If you’re like me, you’ll enjoy the walk so much you forgot about Instagram afterwards. Win-win.

Wonderful way to tie habits and digital wellbeing
This has helped a lot. Waiting for cross platform and browser support based on ios health data so I can sync it across mac and android phone to completely control my habits and app usage
The best screen lock app I’ve ever used
Blocks distracting apps and promotes good habits at the same time !
After doing those habits, I actually just ended up not touching the blocked apps altogether (like when you are being good you want to keep that up). Worked too well.
Thanks Reysu

The Best App for Screen Time reduction
I really love the app. As soon as I saw the Video I downloaded the app.
I loved the possibility’s. It’s not possible to Bypass the App, it has so many cool options. For example I just discovered the Bluetooth function. You don’t even need to be connected, but just in range. This can prevent you using your phone in rooms you don’t want to have it.
Just like the brick it app.
I love that all basic functions are for free and I really hope it stays that way.
