Great app for focus work, study

The app has a beautiful and very smooth UI. It helps me focus more on studying and working, and avoids wasting too much time browsing social media.

My screen time has been cut drastically

Super easy to setup. Much better than apple’s screen time, and the evidence is I’ve massively reduced my doomscrolling!

Really helpful

If you're looking for a sustainable way to reduce screen time and build healthier phone habits, Monk is definitely worth trying.

Great tool

Honestly I’m always skeptical going into these apps wondering how much it’ll help. This one is built different and it ACTUALLY makes you step back and think if you want to bother scrolling Reddit for 15 minutes or more. Thank you!

A Thoughtful Way to Reduce Screen Time

I’ve been impressed with how well this app is designed. Instead of simply blocking apps, it encourages mindful habits and helps break the automatic scrolling cycle. The interface is clean, modern, and easy to use, and the progress tracking makes it motivating to stay focused. It’s a refreshing approach to digital wellness that feels supportive rather than restrictive. Highly recommended for anyone looking to reduce distractions and be more intentional with their screen time.

Finally Reduced My Screen Time

Thank you for being part of the journey.

Focus first

It helps you prevent first touch of apps that distract you.

A mindful approach to screen addiction

I’ve tried a bunch of screen time apps but most feel too aggressive. Monk feels different, it helps you slow down and think before doomscrolling. The unlock budget feature has helped my focus a lot while working.

Monk at home:)

This is perfect. It’s fun to use and easy to stay. Appreciate anyone who’s made it.

Best app for screen detox.

I was struggling with my screen time. Monk AI helped me a lot reducing it. Highly recommended.

Helpful digital detox coach

Monk AI makes reducing screen time feel easier and more persona. I like that it focuses on building healthier phone habits instead of just blocking apps.

Great app

This app is very helpful in promoting good habits, such as reading time and blocking addictive apps such as TikTok. I think the interface has been done really well.

An interesting application

It supports cultivating various habits, and I love its user experience.

Actually works without being annoying

I’ve tried so many app blockers that just make me angry or frustrated, but Monk is completely different. It smartly let me realize I'm doomscrolling out of boredom before I actually open the app.

What I need to reduce my screen time

Thoughtfully designed app to get me out of the infinite rabbit hole loop of short videos

Helps reduce screen time without feeling restrictive

Really like the approach this app takes. It feels more mindful and motivating instead of just aggressively blocking apps. Clean design and great concept overall!

Actually useful

I downloaded this hoping I’d be able to finally build some stronger habits.

It took me 2 days to realize it’s actually really good at helping me build good routines through out my day. From drinking water and holding off on picking up my phone as much.

Overall liking it so far

Great App for digital detox

I have been using Monk AI for a few months now it has helped me bring my screen time from 5h a day to like 10min a day on apps like insta TikTok and Snapchat. Great app would recommend to others
