Perfeito

Aplicativo muito bom

works

the extra step of having to go to a diff app def helped keep me off my phone 👍

Хороший инструмент

Хорошее средство, чтобы уйти от соцсетей , хотя бы ненадолго , вначале точно работает) а потом зависит от вашей дисциплины

Game Changer

This App is very good, it has reduced my screen time and keeps me focussed when I'm working. I have ADHD so am very easily distracted.

We have an App that sends security codes for work, so too easy to quickly check social media and loose 20-30 mins !

You can set your own time limits on whatever Apps you have and you can also change them if your needs change.

Whilst in 'blocked mode' you can still check an App, by unblocking yourself for a minute or more. So you still have access to view blocked Apps. This helps me with WhatsApp, as I may need to see some messages.

I've been paying monthly, as wasn't sure if it was something I would use. Now considering an annual payment instead.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the support and kind words ❤️

O app é bom mas falta coisa

Gosto da simplicidade do app e não ter firulas, mas o modo rígido não é rígido o suficiente, pois permite que você altere as regras dele enquanto esta ativo. Esse foi o motivo de eu não ter continuado na versão paga, fiz apenas o trial. Devia ser rígido de verdade, sem alterações enquanto estiver vigente.
