actually works lol

my screentime used to be around ~10h per day but it cut down to around ~1-2 hours and ive even stopped using some apps

really nice UI and i like that you can pause and unpause ur scroll time. just hope they can add another schedule mode for like when you CAN scroll and all ur apps unlock, but besides that its pretty good

Decent

It works but sad that u can only block 3 for free? And im not sure if willing to spend 10 quid on it. Would be nice if you could like connect data from other devices as well. But works well and design is nice I guess - although experiencing some lag on iPhone 12mini. Also no android version?

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your feedback. The account login feature will be launched later, which will allow you to use the app on multiple devices. The Android version is currently under development.

建议

1.可以把星空改成偏黑色的,虽然有个成就感的机制,但是星星在空中并不醒目,而且与周围的星星重合了,区分度不够,也不贴近现实,即使蓝色可能更美观一点。
2.图标变暗不知道能否去掉,本来图标就是暗的就没有下意识点进去的说法了。
3.还可以再多加一些环节,比如下意识点进某个软件后不单单是切换应用,比如替代刷视频做了什么事,是否完成了什么目标,可以添加一个记录功能,在设置时限等之前用文字记录,并保存下来,可以看到曾经的记录并改善。可以拓宽它的功能,和市面上那些计划记录类软件一样。
4.要想办法留住用户,比如卸载就会清空记录的提醒,一点进应用的动画就最醒目的看到点亮的星星,加入点亮的具体时间。还要避免一些应用对用户的阻碍

Brought me back to reality

I got this app since i saw one of my favorite channels made it and i’ve seen them help many ppl, and god is it great it’s new but it’s still so polished and the unlocking and timers for the apps are so smooth and convenient, it really saves you from just searching smth up and then accidentally doom scrolling for 5 hours straight.

it’s has drastically reduced my screen time and even though there’s a paid version it’s not like other apps where if you use the free version it’s useless, everything you need is free and if you want even more functionality then the paid version comes in.

Great execution from HTX team I hope you guys succeed with your goals!

Can’t wait to see this grow

Been a fan of HTX for a while and I really like the idea. Feels unique and really adds something to work for. One thing I really would like that makes the app inconvenient for me is the immediate block. I want to be able to open the app 5 times a day first and then it would block the following attempts for example. Usually I will be productive for the first times and then later is when I am getting distracted. Hopefully that helps because it makes the app inconvenient. Can’t wait to see where this goes!

Best Time Management App

This is the best take on an app blocker/time management app I’ve seen. Very fun and beautifully designed.

Only request is that you add real information about the individual stars that make up the constellations- their names, how far they are from earth, how big they are, what type of star, etc-educational stuff like that would be really fun to see.

Great job guys!

Beautiful and Helpful

I hope HTX team do many more helpful apps like this one.

备考尝试

整体来说很不错的啦,希望对备考有用。设计挺有趣的。有一点小建议希望采纳,当进入计时后用Home Indicator时不要直接退出页面,最好二次确认后再退出界面,因为我现在给你们写评论时程序仍显示专注中,感觉有点掩耳盗铃哈哈哈。同时屏幕保持常亮、不自动熄屏。这样像我这种容易注意力不集中的人,一看屏幕还亮着、计时还在走,就知道自己还在学习,能提醒自己赶紧回神。

Amazing

It’s a great app! Though I do hope in the future you add a setting where when you start the focus timer that you can’t open any apps until it’s done :)

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your recognition. Regarding the focus mode suggestions, you can configure the relevant settings on the settings page. You can enable the "Block apps during focus" function, so that the apps you want to use less will not be able to request usage permissions. If there are additional apps that need to be blocked, you can add them in the "Blocked app list during focus". Thank you for your feedback.

为什么不会随着时间改变而改变次数规则

过了凌晨12点,app的使用次数没有随时时间更新而改变使用新的规则,还是旧的,比如说我我31号用了5次,这5次用完了,现在凌晨12点,按理说应该更新使用者规则了,可是我看使用规则还是前一天的,就怎么也用不了app,一直叫你退出,可是时间明明是新的一天啊

Response from developer

您好,限额每天5:00刷新哦

iPhone13 ios27.2一直闪退(10.31已解决

两次下载全都闪退,在开头动画结束后进入星空页面后立刻闪退,同时手机左侧迅速发热,整个手机都卡卡的…… 卸载后重启才恢复正常。 版本太低?不兼容?
// 看到有更新版本第三次下载……终于用上了。简单干净的设计 nice try

Nice app

Nice app, helped me cut down my screen time
yes i do watch HTX Studio

Great Way to Reduce Screen Time

I really appreciate how this app seems to actually be built to reduce your screen time: not just a money grab. It provides all the features you’d need for free, and if you really want the extras, the price is very fair. It’s like $14 one time for a lifetime license, compared to another app I’ve used that charged $200 for a lifetime license.
If I could add one thing to this app, it’d be some sort of “lockdown mode” in which you can’t just unlock the app.

Copy of ScreenZen

Works decently, the star thing is a cool idea but screenzen has been doing the same thing for years, and this is copied even down to the ui

Feedback

Really nice app helps me a lot to get away from my phone just 1 thing to improve you can ,,farm“ stars if you just go on get as star and then back to the app and again and again and again

I love it

I love the UI / UX

It's great!

Hi, this app is amazing. The design is incredible! A feature that turn the focus screen when the phone turns is missing.

Can’t wait to see where this goes

I might not be as addicted to scrolling as some, but I consistently lose 8-14 hours per day between games and social media. While there are a lot of features yet to come, the app is VERY POLISHED, and is comfortable to use. A couple things that would be great to add,
1. timer system, not just how many times you can open the app
2. More companions, maybe you unlock them after completing a certain constellation
Thanks so much HTX, time to get my life back from the Overlords.

nice app

My daily screen time has dropped from several hours to just over an hour, very helpful

Crazy app to stop doomscrolling

It work’s perfectly and helped me save my time on doomscrolling for hours on insta and twitter.
