Biggest improvement in my life this year
I've tried apps and other things to break phone addiction, but something about Helm just stuck. I use it and shut off my phone at 9:30 p.m. every day, and I'm forced to actually use the hardware to unlock it every morning. You fall to the level of your system, so this forces me to go to sleep early and not start my day doomscrolling.
The design of the hardware feels it feels great in my hands. I love the UI of the app. occasionally I run into bugs, but the team is super responsive and has A+ customer service

Very smooth
One of first products tried for focus. It works!
A Beautiful Game Changer!
I’ve used several products like this over the years but this is the best by far. Everything is effortless and there is something about the physical product that makes me way more compliant. It’s designed beautifully as well.
Non functional to create multiple schedules for morning then workday then bed…. Support zero help
Not ready too many bugs
Response from developer
Since January we've shipped targeted fixes for scheduled sessions specifically: blocking now reliably activates for sessions that start in the background, overnight schedules now calculate duration correctly, and we added a retry mechanism on iOS when schedule configuration fails to load on startup. These were real gaps that affected exactly what you described — multiple schedules across a day. We've also done a *ton* of general stability work. If you're open to giving it another look, we think the experience is meaningfully better. Thanks!
MY TIME BACK
This is the only thing that’s worked for me, I’ve tried other distraction free apps but this one that’s actually works! I’m so thrilled to have better boundaries with my phone/social media. What a blessing this exists!
