Actually helpful

Genuinely helpful going on 2 years now

It helps

Been a week and works great

This app got me through college and my masters

I got this app when I transferred to university and I’ve kept it installed since then. It’s only gotten better since! I put everyone on Screenzen…… now as a teacher, it’s so easy to doomscroll after a long day of teaching but Screenzen reminds me to stop and live my life :D

Works so good

The title says it all

Saved My Attention Span

I like this app a lot, I lack the self control to stay off some apps and this allows you the middle ground to be on them sometimes but not take it too far.

Absolutely amazing but….

This app is amazing. Absolutely love it. I tipped them happily. But if I am fiddling with my settings too much all of the sudden all of my restrictions stop working. And the only way for me to fix it is delete the app and redownload it. It’s such a freaking pain to set ALL of my settings again every time this happens. Which is like every other week. Luckily they still remember I tipped.

Never thought I could cut back on social media this much.

It’s been 111 days since I started using screen zen. I’ve adjusted my setting a couple times to get it to suit me best. Every time I open Facebook, TikTok, or tumblr, I have to have a good reason! The biggest improvement is setting all of my apps to block me after 10pm. No more late night doom scrolling. I genuinely feel like Screen Zen has changed my phone for the better.

Great support in dealing with habitual phone use!!

I’ve used paid apps and this is much better!

ScreenZen

Absolutely amazing. Wouldn’t recommend a better app than this. Definitely if you are a phone addict and give some charity.

Free

Works

3 years strong and never going back

I love screen zen. I’ve put over 7 friends on who love it to. This is an app whose developers *truly* care about helping you regain time in real life, away from your phone, and it shows in every aspect of the app: from how customizable it is, to the different layers securing your blocked time. And, they listen to feedback a lot!

Gets out of sync to often

I like it, but I constantly have to sync it over and over and over and over again and that’s really annoying

Comprehensive tool

It’s like putting the chocolate at the back of the cupboards instead of out on the counter, but for your distracting phone apps! Has lots of flexibility for how to control timers and delays.

helps with mindfulness

simple to use, customizable

i think i’m getting my life back

i always scrolled for like hours on end either when i wake up and have nothing to do right away. but like now i wake up, let my mind be blank for 20 minutes, and just get on with my day. i have more time to get other things done

genuinely helpful

highly customizable, and harder to get around than apple’s screen time limits. effective way to add a little road bump into app usage that might otherwise be zoned out and automatic

Love it

Thank you so much for this app

Makes a positive difference

This application has changed me. This application has allowed me to regain control of my social media habits. I still feel compelled and dependent on social media but the way this app rations my time on the apps allows me to have to have a much healthier boundary with social media. I would highly recommend downloading this app if you struggle with social media addiction, and also please consider donating to the app when you do to help the company keep making a positive difference in people’s lives.

Great App

Doomscrolling has dropped considerably:)

Just What I Needed

I have had this app for a few days and I’ve already seen improvement with my screen time. I paid a donation to get access to the “premium” stuff (one purchase the keep access forever as of right now) and there are a bunch of puzzle and brain games you can scroll through like tik tok or reels. It allows me to still have a brain break, but obviously less addicting and rotting to my brain. Im confident that I’ll continue to like this app long term. 10/10 no notes.
