Great but…

You have to pay monthly, yearly, or pay 100 dollars to just add more than one app. They claim they care about your screentime, but don’t let you help yourself without paying.

Rendered pointless

Apps can be unlocked with a toggle within the “strict block” absolutely useless

Exceptional!

What a genius way to distract these habits of me just opening an app while I’m on autopilot. I enjoy things that help me optimize!

Love this app, but having to pay to turn off haptics is upsetting

I love this app. I used it a ton. But as someone with sensory issues, the haptics really bother me and make it impossible to use. Having to pay for something to make an app accessible is silly.

FAQ

What does this app do?

This app introduces intentional friction to distracting apps and websites, making them less appealing for long-term use. It works by delaying access to these apps instead of completely blocking them, which is a key psychological difference that helps users build sustainable habits and reduce overall screen time.

How does it differ from standard screen time limits?

Unlike traditional screen time limits or app blockers that completely prevent access, this app adds a slight delay or interruption when you try to open a distracting app. This subtle friction is designed to break unconscious habits and encourage more intentional usage, leading to a significant reduction in app usage over time.

Is this app free to use?

The app offers a free version that allows you to set up limitations for one app of your choice. For access to more features and to set up limitations for multiple apps, a premium version is available through various subscription options, including annual, monthly, and lifetime unlocks.

What kind of apps can I use this with?

You can configure this app with any application you wish to use less or more intentionally. Popular use cases include social media platforms, games, video streaming services, dating apps, stock trading apps, and adult content sites. A free Safari extension is also available to interrupt access to websites.

What happens if I get stuck scrolling?

The app includes a feature called 'Re-Intervention' which acts as a 'Doom Scroll Emergency Brake.' After a set period of time, such as five minutes, you will be automatically removed from the social media app. You will then need to go through the intervention process again to unlock more time, helping you regain control.
