User reviews

Helpful & easy!

This app really helps to support mindfulness around using social media and other apps where I can get lost in a not-so-healthy way. It’s also really easy to use.

Limited application

I was constrained with unwarranted stoppage of applications that I couldn’t customize. Useful. But extremely frustrating.

Great so far

I really love that this app allows you to set a timer before opening a blocked app. I started a trial, and it was so effective on cutting aimless screen time that I bought an annual subscription. Another thing that I really appreciate is that the annual subscription is pretty affordable. I can’t afford monthly subscriptions that many apps ask for, but $20 annually (putting today’s price in case they increase it!) is more realistic for my budget.

Not great

You pay for an app you can do the exact same thing with in the phone settings. They’re just selling you a feature already on your phone and giving you some poorly animated widget for it.

It works well.

I am still new but already helping me to limit my IG time. It’s clean simple and well done. Thank you guys.
