Thank you for the review! Thrilled to have Sentence playing a small part in helping you rebuild your daily routine.
Sentence requires you to handwrite a sentence on paper and scan it with your camera each time you want to access a blocked app. This deliberate friction is designed to interrupt impulsive usage and encourage mindful engagement with your device.
You can choose from prompts like 'Enquiry' (asking why you're reaching for your phone), 'Affirmations' (reinforcing desired personal growth), 'Literature' (using quotes from authors), 'Roasting' (brutal honesty about your intentions), or create your own custom sentence.
Yes, Sentence allows you to block individual applications or entire categories of apps, such as social media, streaming services, or games, based on your preferences.
Sentence offers various subscription plans including Weekly Premium ($0.99/P7D), Monthly Premium ($4.99/P1M), and Annual Premium ($9.99/P1Y or $19.99/P1Y). An Annual Premium plan includes a 7-day free trial.
