First app that actually has helped

I like!

Good app πŸ‘

Kinda glitchy and annoying rarely but it works REALLY well for being totally free

Good app

I like the app overall it helps with customizing how u control ur screen time with flexibility and rigidity and gives ways to even restrict ur teen as needed

Life changing - one year in

This app truly changed my life. There are so many ways to set it up so that it works for you. You can group apps and set different parameters for each group. Before using this app, I opened social media many times a day, scrolled for hours. Really any free minute I had.
The set up I chose was a 45-second delay before opening the app with the ability to open each app twice a day for a certain amount of minutes.
I can change my mind during the delay period which helped me change what I reach for when I have a minute.
Now my social media time is mindful. I do other things in my free time! I recommend this app to anyone who is looking to reduce their screen time, break the cycle of doomscrolling, and/or become more mindful about their usage

I love it but…

It fails to block the access in the browser. And I get stuck in the rabbit hole there sometimes. Please fix this!!!

Otherwise I love it. It makes my days so much better.
