Brilliant

Very simple tool to help cut down screen time! I do wish it had more options for how long to set the block for but overall I’m super thrilled, a cheaper version of bricked!

Fantastic

Love this! I use it everyday, it’s really helped my phone addiction where focus mode couldn’t - highly recommend

The Off Switch

The unique feature of this app is the physical action needed to “switch off’. Unlike purely digital apps of this type, The Off Switch reinforces your mental resolve to not play games, go on social media when you really know you shouldn’t, with a physical action. In the learning environment, it negates the need to physically remove devices from the user. Learning apps can remain enabled, whist those that are not desirable are temporarily disabled. A simple, non technical interface makes it easy to use, for young and old. An ideal app for those who know they shouldn’t be posting on social media or playing their addictive game during work. Highly recommended.

I use it to stay focussed
In the gym. Used to go on socials between sets and take outs to complete, now I’m just focussed and use the right rest periods
