Refocus

Great App, used for over a year now! Gets me productive quickly.

Simple and works!

Finding it really simple and easy to use. It feels like a big reminder not to use the apps when I shouldn’t - which is super helpful for my OCD when I get the compulsion to check or research for hours!

A very useful app

A good app for students and professionals who are trying to focus on their daily work

Huge difference for me!

Refocus has helped me majorly cut down my screen time. The ad delay provides just enough friction that it’s super annoying to open Reddit/Instagram/etc, because I have to watch a 30 second ad first. I also love the granularity to block some websites but not the entire internet.
