So worth it

Comes with this sick minimalistic look as well as blocking apps too, I really needed this thanks guys 🙌

I hate this app - Never deleting it

1 month in and my screen time report just came in at < 3 hrs (i still work from my phone) instead of the usual 8-12+.
This app makes it so annoying to access the apps you blocked that eventually, you don’t bother. I used to override my settings for this, but the minimalist app also makes you rethink that.
I hate it and I love it.

Couldn’t setup

Honestly couldn’t test it oit. Got blocked at setting ip home screen, without ability to go forward. Spent 15 min, and just deleted the app. I wish it was easier to use.

Amazing app

Definitely made me more productive and conscious about my time.

Relief from doomscrolling!!

This was the only app I have found that is really kept me from doom scrolling on social media and I’m really able to keep it to short intervals. It really helps by not allowing me to use it at night or first thing in the morning according to my settings. I’ve recommended it to all my friends and family.
