Near perfection

In order to limit time wasted on social media apps, I’ve been installing and uninstalling the apps when I want to use them. This still leaves me vulnerable to pointless scrolling when they are installed. I love that this app lets me decide when and how I’d like to use my time.

Amazing free app!

I have gotten so much of my time back with Limit. I had already purchased the company’s other product, Freedom, and the combination of the two means I have been scrolling for less than 20 minutes each day and never actually using all of my allotted limit!

The Best

Only free app blocker I’ve found that isn’t stuffed with adds, free trials, or other bs. It’s helped me get hours of my time back and it’s simple design is easy to navigate 😁😁.

Not able to add anything

The app only let you set limit once when it’s the first time using it. After that, you can’t add anymore apps.

Nice Timing.
