The answer!

I love this app! Finally a solution to help keep my app usage down to only what’s a priority. It helps me be more mindful. My favorite feature is the ability to completely block an app before bed and right after waking up. This has finally helped me reduce my anxiety and help me sleep. I used to have insomnia.

Very helpful

Once you spend time on the initial set up and then review it. I can see it increasing my productivity by 5 fold.

Works!

Have only been using for a week, but my social media time has gone from ~4-6 hours a day to under 1 hour. My total screen time is down 40%. The biggest help is setting it to block the apps for you during culprit scrolling hours. I set mine to block social media in the morning and night to keep me from doom scrolling in bed. It takes a little time to get it set up, but once it’s all said and done you’re left with a pretty and minimal phone interface.

I hate that it works so well

It works incredibly well. I’m too lazy to change anything or uninstall the app. I don’t find a way around it, I just accept my fate that I assigned myself to. I tried other ways to spend time on my phone, so I organized my emails instead of doomscrolling. What kind of person am I anymore?

Something really worked

I love the way minimalist play like a teacher 🤪
