Really useful and easy to use

I like that this app is user-friendly and encourages me to scan and be more selective on how I spend my time on my choice of app. It really is a time saver.

Easy Five

My time spent on YouTube is finally under control after I installed this easy-to-use app 😁

Great App - useful and simple

Works great for me to control my time online so I can break and get my movement in at intervals. I appreciate the thoughtful helpers in the design and look forward to future rollouts. Highly recommend !

FINALLY!! An app with a clear user interface, minimal handling, maximizing productivity

For quite a while now, I’ve tried IG’s screen time “daily limit” warnings. They seriously don’t cut it with my deeply ingrained habits. Such apps build that feature in, but their easily dismissible designs hardly interfere with anyone’s doomscrolling (on purpose!? sHoCKiNg)

On the other hand, this app’s in-your-face panda counter consistently stopped my instincts to open social media in its tracks. My data shows drastically reduced screen time — what a surprisingly huge difference in lifestyle by HOURS!!

You pick one of the cute pandas to help you limit your usage of other apps according to your custom time limits.
For each app, offer 2 apples for your panda to guard for the day. A couple of short ads in the apple orchard to replenish. I personally stack them in one go. Super quick, super simple, makes it fREE for you and ME.

My only complaint is a minor one related to customizing cosmetics (like for my pandas as I’m extra and lowkey getting emotionally attached LOL), but I understand this vastly complicates functionality and general users need more user-friendly apps. Such a fun theme regardless. I’m a very happy camper!
