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.

This app is life changing

I want to look at my phone. But now I don’t. I feel like this app is rewiring my brain to not be so reliant on killing time on endless scrolling. It’s such a great tool to allow you to be present and not pulled away but ultimately meaningless content, while still maintaining the usefulness of a smartphone.

Really helped reduce overuse

Works great

Screen time down 65%

It works

Terrible system design

Stop losing my time with your f*ing timer everywhere, stop trying to act like you know better than I do
Also the app inserts itself between each screen when you swipe through app, it’s terrible

Actually effective!

Similar apps made it less convenient to use certain apps, but this one actually kept me from using them when I didn’t want to!

Great concept, but a few glitches.

Simple. Easy. Affordable and just psychologically makes sense. Make your phone less desirable looking, less accessible, and the rest will follow. Unfortunately there were a few glitches, like not allowing any incoming or outgoing FaceTimes, despite being on the “allowed list.” My messenger would also intermittently be blocked, not quite following the set schedule. I had good response from customer service and problem solving ideas but nothing worked. Had to delete due to these reasons.

Helpful

This app has been incredibly helpful in helping me to limit my screen time.

Down 65%

This is the first time I’ve actually stuck with an app like this because it’s really well thought out and designed. I like that you can choose a small amount time to allow access to an app, too.

It really helps!

Simplifying my life and reducing my distractions and scrolling habits. My social media use has gone way down. I love the in app timer feature I can use for distracting apps and setting up my daily mindful times to restrict options.

I love my dumber phone!

Minimalist phone, great app. It's really making my use experience much more enjoyable and less frenetic. Recommended to anybody who's trying to detoxify their smartphone experience

Stop asking me to write a review

The app is good. It constantly prompt you to write a review and it’s making me lose my mind.

Bad

Difficulty in navigating and forcing to rate

Best app I’ve tried to reduce my screen time

I am loving this, it is helping combat all the tricks phone companies use to get you on your phone longer

Fits my Needs

I have very specific needs in terms of what to block, and when to block it. A competitor app only block by category, which is almost useless. This app is leaps ahead by allowing for blocking of on the apps I want blocked.

It’s working

I didn’t think it would happen, but this app is actually getting me to cut down SUBSTANTIALLY on my screen time. Wowowowwww
