Best app yet

I love the app so far, it helps me and my girlfriend from doomscrolling and unlocking our screen time ourselves. I found a post you made on Reddit about the app and I love most is that it is free. All these apps usually cost money so it’s really nice to see. I would like to recommend 3 things. 1. Having a different allowed screen time for different apps, instead of 4 apps being under the same limit. 2. Have a screen time allowed per hour. Make a setting that I can only access my apps I selected for let’s say, 5 minutes every hour. (This one isn’t really a big deal, just thought it was cool) 3. This one I like the most though, have a setting for “downtime” allow me to block my apps from 10pm to 10 am. Thank you so much.

Screen Freedom Provides Accountability and True Care for it’s Users

There are a lot of screen time apps out there, but none of them are quite like Screen Freedom. The app’s creator goes beyond simply tracking your screen time by building in meaningful accountability. You can partner with a friend to help you reach your goals, and if you exceed your screen time limit, your accountability partner is notified. Before continuing, the app also prompts you to reflect on why you’re reaching for your phone in that moment.

As someone who is prone to doom scrolling, this has been incredibly helpful. Instead of staying stuck in unhealthy habits, I’ve been given the opportunity to pause, reflect, and share my struggles with someone I trust. It’s clear that this app wasn’t just designed to limit screen time—it was designed with genuine care for the well-being of its users.

Doomscrolling Days Are Over!

I’ve been using this app for the past 2 weeks and I can confirm that my doomscrolling days are over! I hit my limit, then I move on to more productive forms of entertainment. I cannot be more thankful for this app with such a clever idea. However, my friend and I are on rocky terms as we hold each other accountable, but I think we’ll make it.
