Best Free Productivity App

This app is not only free but it works really well with whatever your preferences are on how much you want to lock the app you need to stay away from. I think the app is definitely under appreciated and could use more love!

Love it

Great app, helps a lot with my productivity and time management!

Excellent for mental health

This app has helped
Me cut my screen time significantly. Especially for social media apps which has helped my productivity and mental health a lot.

AMAZING

This app has been great, my entire family downloaded it, it has made being productive so much easier and it has been the best app I’ve downloaded in a long time

Perfect

Used it for years and has helped me cut down my screen time tremendously. Very flexible settings, and allows you to create a screen time balance that works for you. I recommend it to everyone as it has really helped my overall quality of life!!!!

Great app!

Has really helped me with my screen time, especially when it comes to spending too much time doom scrolling

Good until vibe coded features were added

This app was really good until what feels like vibe coded features started randomly getting added that I never asked for. I started getting random notifications from this app like “You’re over your goal, but your streak held”. Like I was in Duolingo. It honestly made me feel really weird and bad getting these notifications until I could figure out how to turn them off. Also frustrating has been the home screen of the app becoming very cluttered, the increased emphasis on streaks, the whole “practice” screen that I wish was its own app instead of vibe coded onto this one, and the fact that one of the app and tabs is just an ad for “Halo”. I wish I could figure out how to turn this app back to the way it was a year ago but for now, I am not sure if I will keep using it.

Completely broke my instagram addiction

This is the single best app I have on my phone.

This and some dedication!

This app is the only thing that worked for me, I’ve cut down significantly on social media thanks to it. I love the one time purchase option, it feels like an app that is genuinely trying to help you. I haven’t used all of the features but it seems like it has a lot to offer. It’s important to recognize you will break your streak and have bad days but as long as you keep trying I believe this tool will really help you.

Taking my time back

I’ve been using various blocking methods for a few years now, but this is the first app I’ve been able to use long term. It works SO well! I took a break from blocking my social media apps a few weeks ago and my average screen time was at 4 hours and 19 minutes a day. I went back to blocking and now two weeks later it’s back down to 3 hours and 29 minutes a day and the types of apps I use are much better for me!

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.
