Everything Is Paid
Response from developer
As a solo developer building this from scratch, I made the difficult decision to charge because the AI costs required to make the app work are very high. My goal is to help you stop scrolling without cluttering your experience with ads or subscriptions. This app is fully funded by me with no investors. Hopefully, one day we can make it free.
Discipline Isn’t Enough Without Awareness

Sorry to hear you are having trouble getting the intention setting feature running - this is the one thing every single user loves! Just FYI, we offer free troubleshooting calls for anyone experiencing problems like this. Feel free to email me at sam@mindless.so and I'll hop on a call to walk you through getting it set up smoothly. With that said, I want to say thank you for giving Mindless a shot, your feedback will help me make it better in the future :)
Has helped me so much
Response from developer
Thank you so much! 🙏 You nailed it, blockers just create frustration and workarounds. Real change comes from understanding why you're reaching for your phone in the first place. That's the Mindless approach: awareness over restriction. So glad the AI interactions are landing for you. We're just getting started - lots more potential to unlock. Thanks for being an early believer!
Exactly what I needed
Response from developer
This made our day, Emily! 💙 "Supportive instead of annoying" is exactly what we were going for. Most screen time tools feel like a punishment, we wanted Mindless to feel like a friend gently tapping you on the shoulder. Awareness without the guilt trip. Thanks for the recommendation and for being part of the Mindless community. Here's to more intentional scrolling!
Wow. Finally stopped scrolling
For the first time ever I’ve cut back on my screen time every single week I LOVE the intention setting feature. I also connected my order Ring to Mindless time stats with my digital stats to give me a comprehensive look at performing.
Lastly I use the AI because it has all these unique data points.. all in all I’m obsessed with Mindless. and I’ll probably never stop using it lol
Response from developer
Wow - this is why we built Mindless. Thank you for sharing this. 🙌 "Dreams and goals slip away because I can't get out of my phone" hit hard. So many people feel this but don't realize how much their phone is quietly stealing from them. The fact that you're cutting back every single week is huge. You're using Mindless exactly how we envisioned. Never stop? We're totally fine with that 😄
So helpful!
Great app to moderate screen time
Response from developer
Thanks for the kind words, Kyle! ⭐ "Without even knowing why" is the sneaky part, our phones are literally designed to keep us hooked without us realizing it. The first step is just noticing the pattern, and it sounds like Mindless is helping you do exactly that. Glad it's making a real difference. Keep going!
Wants 50$ when it’s done a whole lot of nothing
Response from developer
Hey Tcať - thanks for your feedback! That is for our yearly plan, we also offer weekly and monthly if you do not want to make a year-long commitment! Thanks for checking out Mindless!
Great App
Response from developer
Thanks for the love! ⭐ That's the goal - once you can see the mindless scrolling, you naturally start catching yourself. More awareness = more productivity = more time for what actually matters. Glad it's working for you. Keep crushing it!
Amazing
Response from developer
So glad you are LOVING Mindless! Cheers to another year of less scrolling.
Misleading
Response from developer
Hey there - thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! To clarify: the app requires a subscription to access its features. Running AI at scale involves significant infrastructure costs, including API fees, server costs, and ongoing development. As a small team, these expenses add up quickly. We offer the subscription model to keep the service running sustainably. We know it's not for everyone, and we hope you decide to give the app a try!
A Game-Changer for Digital Discipline
Finally Put my phone down
It’s straightforward and effective, with simple tools that help track your habits and gently encourage better ones without feeling overwhelming. The daily reminders and progress tracking made it easy to build small routines that added up over time.
In a couple of weeks, my usage went way down, and I’ve noticed real improvements: more time for hobbies, better sleep, and actually being present in conversations. If you’re looking to cut back on phone time, this app is a solid, no-fuss option that actually works. 10/10 would recommend
Response from developer
This is incredible to read - thank you for taking the time to share your story. 🙏 "Endless scrolling, missed opportunities to connect with people around me, and constant fatigue" that's the hidden cost of phone addiction that nobody talks about. It's not just lost time, it's lost life. The fact that you're now present in conversations, sleeping better, and making time for hobbies? That's the real win. We built Mindless to be exactly what you described: straightforward, no-fuss, and focused on small changes that compound over time. Thanks for the 10/10 and for being part of the journey. Reviews like this remind us why we're doing this.
A different way to control screen time
It’s finally here!🔥
Response from developer
Hannah! 🔥 Thank you for waiting for us, and for the day-one support! So glad the AI + screen time combo is clicking. That's the secret sauce: instead of just showing you numbers, we help you actually understand what's driving your habits. And yes, the Oura Ring sync is a game-changer - seeing how your screen time connects to your sleep and recovery makes the data way more meaningful. Keep tracking those scores and watching them climb. Thanks for believing in what we're building!
