Request on Limit Days

I have been using Limit for a couple day now and it really helps! But I have to travel a lot on the weekends and the only thing I really do in a five hour car ride is watch social media. So it would be nice if you could change the app where you can specialize different time limits for different days. Like so Monday through Thursday I could have a shorter time limit, cause I’ll be at home but Friday through Saturday I will have a longer limit because I’m traveling. Thanks for taking my request in!

Synergy with Freedom

I used ‘Freedom’ for general blocklists, but I found it too restrictive for things like social media. ‘Limit’ is the perfect partner app to give me that added degree of flexibility.

Love this combo! 🙌 Freedom for the heavy lifting and Limit for that extra flexibility on things like social media is exactly how they're designed to work together. Thanks for sharing how you use both!

It’s great but one big flaw

I’ve paid for Freedom for ages and love it, but something like Limit is what I’ve wanted for ages. Unfortunately though you can just edit what apps are selected, and increase the timer, anytime you pause the timer, which kind of defeats the purpose. If it was as strict as Freedom it’d be perfect.

Hi there! Thanks so much for being a longtime Freedom user, and for taking the time to share this. That's really valuable feedback on Limit, we'll pass along the idea of tighter controls around editing selections and timers to the product team. Glad to hear the core experience is working well for you otherwise!

Please explain

I don’t understand I woke up and it said on my screen time has been used, but I haven’t been on my phone at all in the day and it was only 9 AM so I don’t understand why I couldn’t unlock any of my apps even though I hadn’t been on my phone the entire day. it’s a good app but I just don’t understand. It doesn’t make sense to me why I can’t go on any of these apps please explain.

Please, explain

I like beating it

This app is very simple yet effective. I only used it for one day. My Screen Time has gone down over 60%.

Thanks for sharing this, a 60% drop in just one day is fantastic! Really glad Limit is working well for you. 🙌

Needs to be a strict mode

I love the concept, it's exactly what I have been looking for. Unfortunately it's too easy to just keep giving yourself more time. Can we have a strict mode?

Hi there! So glad the concept resonates with you. The ability to lock down time extensions is definitely something we're hearing, and we'll make sure the team knows. Thanks for the feedback!

Too easy to give self more time

I have long been a paid subscriber to Freedom, also by this creator. Freedom blocks apps during certain times of day but you only can break your rules once a week or something like that. With this app, Limit, you can get around your limits immediately and it seems, an unlimited number of times. I just tried giving myself half an hour, and then changing it to an hour, and then changing it to two hours, and there was no friction. Unless I missing something, Limit is no different from Screen Time, which is already built into every iPhone. If this gets changed to be more like Freedom, it will be a great app.

Hey there! Thanks for the detailed feedback — and for being a Freedom subscriber too! You're right that Limit doesn't currently have the same enforcement strictness as Freedom. We really appreciate you sharing this and will pass it along to the team. 🙏

Best one!

Amazing that there are zero ads and the application is genuinely well-made. This is good for the world and is a sign that greed should not take over.

So thankful!

Incredible app, within the first day I felt like I had my screen time back under control and wasn’t wasting my life on social media! So happy with this app, thank you for creating it

Thanks so much, Amanda! It's awesome to hear that Limit helped you reclaim your screen time so quickly. That's exactly what we built it for—to help you break free from social media without the friction. We're thrilled it's working for you! 🙌

It’s ok

I like the app, I’ve tried many screen time apps and I’ve stuck to this one, but it’s a little too easy to just add more time when your about to run out

[Edited] Good, some more options needed

Really simple to use, clear interface, a really elegant solution for the problem I am trying to solve.

I only wish it also actually blocked websites through the screentime system. That one addition would deliver outsized results, at least for me

[Edit]
Found a somewhat hidden setting in Brave that disabled screentime access to websites. How opal was able to block websites through that setting I do not know, but Limit is (mostly) working as intended now.

I have to major pieces of feedback still:
Whenever I edit the screentime block list, every website gets blocked until I force close and restart both apps
And I want the ability some other apps implement to disallow adult websites separately, since they don’t appear in my screentime history

Thanks so much for the kind words about the interface — really glad it's clicking for you! Just a heads up: Limit does actually block websites in Safari when they're added to your blocklist. It's possible something isn't configured quite right on your end. Reach out to us at support@freedom.to and we'll get you sorted! 😊

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.

Hey Gildur! That's such a relatable struggle — and exactly the kind of problem Limit was built to solve. Love that it's helping you take back control of how you spend your time. Thanks for the kind words! 😊

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!

That's such a great result — less than 20 minutes of scrolling a day is impressive! We're glad Limit and Freedom are working so well together for you. Thanks for the kind words and for being a fan of both apps!

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 😁😁.

Hey there! So glad to hear Limit is helping you get your time back. Really appreciate the kind words about the simple, no-fuss design 😊

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.
