A really good app, with an even better team behind it
However, the best thing about the app is the people behind it. I had the chance to get support from both the Founder and Co-founder, at it was nothing short of exceptional. They are very professional, but above all, they are kindhearted people. You can tell they’re not in it for the money, they really want people to improve with their screen time usage, and better their lives. As a college student all the expenses add up, and when I needed it most, they were able to gift me the subscription for a season. It was such a blessing to me, and I’m so grateful.
In conclusion, if you’re looking for an app to help you get off your phone, draw near to God, and gain back your time, this is it. It has helped me tremendously with my screen time usage, dropping 2h within the first months of using it.
May the Lord bless you all in Jesus name, Amen.

Thank you so much, Blas! Cutting 2 hours a day in your first months while balancing college assignments is a huge achievement, and you should be really proud of it. We love that blocking everything except the apps you need has helped you lock in when it counts, and that your block screen keeps you grounded in what matters most to you. Wishing you continued focus and many more hours back for the things you love. Amen.
Highly recommend to those who need it.
Their customer service is on another level. The staff and founders actually care about any app issues, and work to try and help/fix whatever’s happening. Which they almost always do!
Sure, the apps a little buggy but that’s mainly the IOS connection which isn’t their fault. Any issues i’ve had with that they’ve helped me tremendously. Not to mention their app aesthetic and UI is peak. Makes me think about camping, and wanting to go outside.
It has genuinely helped me so much beyond what words can say, and while this is a bit of a love letter to the app and to the team, I still do recommend this app. Functionally easy to understand, customer service is perfection, actually helps cut down my screen time… PEAK!!!!

Coming back after 600 days to share this means so much, and going from 9–12 hours a day down to 3–5 is a remarkable transformation that you made happen. We love that it makes you think of camping and getting outside, and we hope you're spending plenty of those reclaimed hours doing just that.
