很可爱便捷的软件 但是想问下能不能添加个功能:自动记录正向软件使用时长,比如多邻国 不背单词 上网课这类学习软件,目前这种软件在使用过程当中明明是在学习的,但是被记录到屏幕使用时间里面 感觉看起来自己好像玩了好久🥹 我觉得自动记录正向软件使用时长也可以让自己的努力可视化

Looks Good, worth the price

For some reason It can't block Facebook in browser... otherwise everything is great.
also when I have opened google maps it still counts as screentime maybe you should be able to skip screentimes from total for specific apps

Tracking is no longer accurate

Offscreen used to be one of the best apps for tracking phone usage. I've been using it for a long time, and it always worked great. But in the recent updates, something changed. Even though i keep the app open all the time, as required, it no longer tracks my screen time or phone pickups accurately, and the notifications have be become unreliable. It's a shame because I really liked this app. I hope these issues get fixed soon.

Can’t delete?!?!?

So, I got this app to limit my screen time and after a while it got annoying. Multiple notifications even if I’m checking messages or emails, completely cut off from anything you accidentally decided to add on the ‘block schedule’, requires a screen time passcode to delete (I don’t know mine), and it’s extremely difficult to navigate the app. Just don’t get this app and try something else. Right idea. Wrong execution.

Wasted my money

Awful app that makes you pay before you can use it. Doesn't have any screentime integration. You can't control the apps it records and it doesn't even give analytics from apps. Totally useless.

Buggy and glitchy

It has become more and more glitchy over time. I might need look for other alternatives

Focus + screen time

It is useful when you try to manage and monitor focusing time with screen time by the apple watch. I believe using two features together at the same time is more effective.
However I wonder if the developer is currently working on it.
And where should I send feedback my email?

If possible, please add some functions below.

1. Provide watch complication for
1) Mid size (at middle part) complication of graph style for ’weekly total focus time’ same as screen time.
2) Small size complication for ‘Daily/weekly/monthly total focus time’
(To be seen on the watch Home Screen)

2. Goal line at ‘focus time’ part for all graph type complications or widgets must be shown.

3. Provide the Home Screen widget of iPhone that is shown ‘monthly focus time’ on monthly calendar type

4. Provide the Home Screen widget of iPhone that is shown ‘monthly screen time’ on monthly calendar type.

(Reason of -1★ : Prolonged lack of development for the program.)

So helpful!

This app has really really helped my social media addiction.
Love having control over it now.
I feel much more able to control my attention and less of a constant pull to the infinite scroll. Love!

Stopped working

Can no longer create schedules to block apps

Pomodoro only

Why does a pomodoro timer need a location? I just want the timer and blocking features. And, can't you make the break sessions more adjustable, especially when people are doing 50+ minute sessions?

Nice concept but some bugs

Nice concept but some bugs. The main one I’m encountering is on their time since last pick up widget. The timer doesn’t reset each time I pick up and unlock and use my apps. It only resets when I open my offscreen app, despite the fact that I’ve allowed it to do background app refresh and am not in low power mode.

Has good features but inconsistent

I really liked this app when I first got it, and paid for premium so that I can use the OFF time feature that lets you block apps. Its really helped me keep track of how long I’m on my phone and gives reminders when I’ve been on for a long interval.

However, the OFF time feature has not been working in weeks. It deleted my off time set up and every time I set back up again, within a day my settings are deleted once again, so no apps are blocked. When the off time set up isn’t deleted, there’s a 50/50 chance that it will actually work and block my apps, so the feature that I paid for is essentially useless. If they fixed this the app would be pretty perfect for me.

Love the automatic timers

Unique app that is a great utility for timing your on screen and off screen times. I love the automatic timers that go on in the background as you pick up your phone or lock your screen. I love time management and these automated or automatic timers really add a lot of value!

Hear me out

I want to know how much time I spend browsing. This app counts everything. So I think I spend 9 hours on my phone but that includes listening to music, driving using GPS and listening to podcasts and Libby.
I would love to set the app to exclude some kinds of usage of my phone.

Can’t cancel subscription

I didn’t find the app all that useful so when I tried to cancel my subscription I couldn’t find anywhere to cancel. It was only giving me the upgrade option. I don’t know whether this is a scam or something because it keeps charging me and I can’t find anywhere cancel button. Pls fix this.

Annoying

FYI you need to keep this app running the whole time or it willpause ~ why would anyone want to do that?? Good product otherwise but I cancelled the subscription within one day. I really wanted to like this app, bummer

WHAT?!?!

Why do you need my location?!?! You don’t need that! HORRIBLE!

Can’t cancel subscription. Scammy app

This app does not have a cancel subscription button and doesn’t show up in my App Store’s list of subscriptions. Please help me cancel it, this app just isn’t for me. I think the app is perfectly fine but why is there no cancel subscription button.

Screen blocking feature not working

I bought the year long subscription specifically to be able to block specific apps after a certain time. This feature is not working on my table!!! I’m really upset and would like a refund.

Fraud

The metrics don’t work lol. The widget is cool but the time is so far off it’s like the data is getting from someone arse
