Fantastic App

I have loved using the minimalist app, my phone is now so much more streamlined, which is easier on my brain and has reduced my phone usage already. Suddenly I’m no longer like a child gravitating towards the cookie jar. I reach for my phone less and when I do use it, generally it’s for more productive reasons!

Easy setup, clear head

Love the step by step and great UI. Not tech savvy but it holds your hand on how to use the app. It’s reduced a lot of visual noise for me.

Used to be great until update

Now it doesn’t update blocked apps unless you go into the app

Minimalist app

This app has a good purpose. The setup is more a function of iOS than the app itself. I think Apple could do a little better in regards to automation support. It's otherwise excellent, and it does exactly what's needed. I'm also looking forward to the implementation of his roadmap plans.
