Good for cutting down doom scrolling

This app is straightfoward to set up, not a lot of bells and whistles. But it really makes me be on my phone less. And that's even with the Easy level tasks.
I just needed something to remind me that I don't want to always have my phone in my hand. And it's not so annoying and hard to use I uninstall it.

My favorite screen time solution I’ve found!

I’ve tried maybe half a dozen different screen time limiters and this is my favorite due to its simplicity, the straight forward pricing, and how affective it is. I’ve found the solution to be far more sustainable than others I’ve tried.
