this might be the best app of all time CANT LIE
LISTEN YALL, idk if you guys keep getting those ads on instagram always talking about some “we quit our jobs at Google to give you an app that makes your phone dumber” and I did like those apps, it’s basic and it still works really well. These have the same thing with MORE FEATURES and MORE CUSTOMIZABILITY, AND ITS FREE, PLUS U CAN TIP FOR LIFETIME ACCESS, unlike literally every other app which requires a yearly. Bless up for this app.♥️

Best app ever
I can’t count how much time I’ve saved and how much it has helped
so bad
it blocks notifs entirely and doesnt have a mode for emergencys or if i just wanna post or text my friends which isnt doomscrolling but takes a long time, its so annoying that i have to choose to open it exactly x times per day per x minutes its way too strict and why did it say it was gonna take my money if i turned off settings its a robbery.

Glitches
Sometimes the function doesn’t work or show up
Simple and effective!
Just enough friction to help minimize screen time.
Amazing
Absolutely love this app it’s so good and helpful 🫶
Doesn’t work for my needs
Screen zen is only great if you have simple needs, like haughty blocking apps. I need to create schedules, like having access to certain apps during work hours, making my phone a “dumb phone” during the night until 8 am, or having a handful of apps available during the weekend.
I spent 4 hours setting up all the groups, checking for overlaps, and fixing everything the app flagged only for none of the groups I set up to work. I did all the troubleshooting steps and couldn’t get my apps to block at the correct times. It’s great that it’s free (I tipped my first day using it) but I end up using my phone MORE fiddling with the app that simply doesn’t work. It even flags that it won’t work properly with iOS26 for the screen time.
I’d rather pay for a more effective app but this is a ok start I guess if you have simpler needs.

The best out there & FREE
For once an actual free app, no subscription needed. Clean and easy to use.
Changed my life
Thank you screenzen
New Update!
Soo much better now before you could easily void the block now it stops you
Honestly it helped
It didn’t break my habits but it helps me a little and also I’m really grateful that it’s free
ADHDers Help
So useful, it’s helped immensely to curb my habit of using my phone as an unconscious distraction. Also grateful to the free version being exactly what I need.
Daily Goal is too intrusive
I loved this app until the daily goal/habit tracking was added.
I just want to limit some apps now it feels like I’m being monitored all the time.

Great way to reduce screen time
I’ve been using this app for years, and it has made such a difference. As a therapist, I also recommend this to so so many clients because of the positive impact it has. Highly recommend. They keep adding updates that makes it even better
Good idea
This app has helped me spend less time on social media and be more aware of the passage of time. I like that I can earn back a “half open” by making myself get off sooner. This avoids the mindless scrolling. However, sometimes the controls disappear and you have to go looking for the relock button. I assume this is a bug that needs to be fixed.

New update is top tier
The mini games, logic puzzles and the other new features help massively to reduce scrolling time thus making you feel better aswell as you re not feeling that u r wasting ur time scrolling on tik tok or instagram
Awesome update
App is much more rich now with better insights and cool options to avoid screen time
The only thing that’s worked
I’ve been using this for I think around 2 years now and I genuinely love this app, it’s the only thing that has got me to cut down on screen time. The way it works is very customisable and intuitive.
I wish I could rate it 4.5 because there are a lot of workaround if you use it as a url blocker on webpages which is unfortunate.
It works perfectly on apps however and it’s really got me to think about why I want to go on each app.

Please add back breaking streaks when turning off blocks
Great app, used to be that streaks ended if you switched off blocks and I found that motivating but that now is not the case, please add back!
