Effective app

I’ve tried other apps and things to help limit social media use and this has been the best one in helping fight that.

It’s so good for blocking addictions

I can set a time where it blocks and a time where it unblocks and strict block is the best!! There’s no way of unblocking it past your time limit or set times!

I’ve actually managed to reduce

Took me a while to find the right frequency etc but I’m now on day 93!
