What's New in Reroute

1.0.2

August 12, 2026

Reroute now asks what you're actually trying to do, not just how long you want. Instead of picking a duration, you can send yourself somewhere with a purpose: message someone, make a call, listen to something, handle a task, or build your own custom chip that goes wherever you want. Pick two that fit how you actually use your phone, and they'll show up every time you're asked why you opened a guarded app. Also in this update: • Daily goals can now be hidden in Settings if you don't use them • Fixed a bug that could falsely lock you out after briefly backgrounding the app • Cleaned up the reroute screen so it's easier to see at a glance

Works Frustratingly Well!

I thought I was disciplined with my time while at work, and somewhat at home. But Reroute DEFINITELY highlighted some frequent habits I had no clue I was doing. I’m now starting to see how often I’d pick up my phone e between meetings and clients, totally sapping my productivity. Today, I finished all my tasks BEFORE my workday ended.

Going through app detox ain’t easy!!!

Best Screen Time App Out There

I love this app because it allows me to use social media with boundaries. Additionally, I love how it doesn’t just try to get me off of social media, but also helps me to complete my goals. Well worth the purchase!

Amazing

I wasn’t aware of the time spent on Facebook. Now I can focus on more important things.
