## What is Time Rich (Digital Detox)?

■ Features of “Time Rich”

1. Simple and Easy to Use

All app and website blocking settings are shared across the app—no need to reselect them for each block.
Quick blocks can be started with just one tap right after launching the app.
To set a time limit, simply choose the duration and save.
Scheduled blocks are also easy—just select either “Every Day” or specific days of the week, along with the time.
That’s it. The core features are intentionally minimal—no complicated options.

2. Unlocking Requires a Thoughtful Reflection, Core Features Are Free

To help you resist the urge (and dopamine hit) of using your phone, unlocking a block always requires writing a short reflection. It’s intentionally a bit of a hassle.
Unlike other apps that charge for basic functions, Tokimochi offers Quick Block, Scheduled Block, and Time Limit completely free.

3. No Distracting Features

The only push notification you’ll receive is a heads-up 15 minutes before your time limit ends—so you’re not caught off guard when the block kicks in.


4. No Sign-Up Required

You can start using the app immediately after installing—no registration or login needed.


5. Subscription

We currently offer a Premium Plan for $2.99 per month. The features available with this plan are as follows:
• Ads will no longer be displayed
• You can temporarily hide the unblock button
• You can review past reflection notes written when blocks were lifted
• A button to lock TimeLimit/Schedule settings for a certain period will be available

### 3/5 — いい

*2025-11-10, version 4.6*

今まで使ってきたアプリの中で一番良くてお世話になっています！！
ただ1点直して欲しいところがあります。iPhoneの場合だけなのかもしれませんが、iPhoneの公式のアプリ（ウォレットやiTunes 翻訳）などの表示がおかしくなることがあります、Apple Musicなどは大丈夫ですが。今後のアップデートに期待します！

### 1/5 — 解除できない、選んでいないアプリを制限される

*2025-10-26, version 4.6*

選んでいないアプリを強制的にブロックされた挙句、解除されませんでした。大迷惑です。私はまだ睡眠妨害で済みましたが、選んでいない大切な連絡手段をブロックされた場合、緊急事態だったらどうするつもりだったんでしょうね？選んでいないアプリが選択されるバグを直せないのであれば、せめて緊急事態用にすぐに解除できるようにしてください。
運が悪ければ本当に危険なアプリです。
私はブロックを解除することに対しての反省文は書きません。最大の反省はこのアプリを入れたことです。
寝る前にスマホをいじらないためにこのアプリを入れたのに、このアプリのせいで寝る前に30分もスマホをいじる羽目になりました。

### 5/5 — これだぁ

*2025-10-04, version 4.6*

無課金でも最大24時間アプリの使用制限をかけられるのがめっちゃ優秀です。制限解除も変な文章を打ち込むのが絶妙に面倒だから、開いちゃうのを防げて助かります。
アプリごとに設定できるのも便利だがその分ミスには注意したほうがいいです。私はLINEは制限してないのに、LINEのURLだけ制限してて、しばらく使えずにずっと悩んだすえに解決しました。その辺を改善したらもっとユーザーが増えるのではないかと思います！！🙇

### 1/5 — バグ？

*2025-09-14, version 4.6*

最初は普通に使えてて、ちゃんと制限もかかっていたのですが、なぜか最近ロックされてないなと思って、アプリを開くとスケジュールの設定が全部消えており、なぜ？とおもって何度もスケジュールの時間を入れて保存しても消されるの連続でバグなのか分からないけどロックできなくなりました。また、制限したいアプリを選択でアプリを選ぶのですが、2個目を選んだ所まではいいんですけど、3つ目くらいから段々と画面が重くなって動かなくなり、白くなり固まるというのが何度も起きていて、自分がブロックしたいアプリも選択できません。なんでなんですかね。最初の方は何故かスムーズにロックできていたので、それまではかなり良かったです。

### 4/5 — とても良いアプリ

*2025-09-06, version 4.5*

1度設定したら広告視聴＆反省文と写経をしなければいけないというスマホを使うのを諦めるレベル。いい役割を果たしていると思う。が、急を要する時や間違えて時間を多くしてしまった場合、ランダムで3つ書かされる写経の文によっては変換に出てこない単語があり(！の斜めが変換に出ない  .の間のマスが違うなど)
また広告を見直さなければならない。この部分を変えてもらえるともっと良いアプリになると思うので是非変更して欲しい。

### 4/5 — めっちゃいい。けど、、、

*2025-08-26, version 4.5*

めちゃくちゃいいです。強制的に触れなくなるので、私には合ってました。ですが、2時間このアプリだけ制限とかは無理なところが残念。例えば、2時間LINEだけ制限しようと思っても1日ロックする欄にもLINEが入ってしまい、部分的な制限ができない。
後、曜日選ぶのがeverydayか曜日ずつ設定するしかないのがめんどくさい。何曜日〜何曜日って選べるようにして欲しい。

### 3/5 — 次の日からの時間を変えたい

*2025-08-13, version 4.5*

以下 改善して欲しい点です。

ブロック中に次の日からの制限時間を変更したいです。
例えば今日ライブがあるから8時間にしていたけれど、明日は5時間にしたいとします。その時、今日8時間使ってしまってブロックしている最中に次の日以降は5時間に変えられないのが不便です。なぜなら次の日8時間になったまま忘れて使いすぎてしまいます。
またブロックしている最中に明日はこのアプリも制限したいなという時に忘れないうちにやりたいので、その画面もブロック中に表示して欲しいです。
今だとブロック中はブロックを解除するということしか出来ないのでそこを改善していただきたいです。

### 4/5 — とてもいいですが2点だけ

*2025-06-17, version 4.3*

おかげさまで、ついスマホでダラダラするのをやめられて、勉強時間をしっかり確保できるようになりました。
これとルーティンタイマーを合わせて、時間になると制限+スケジューリング開始となるようにして使っています。

2点だけ要望があります
1.スケジュール設定の際に複数曜日をまとめて設定できるようになれば嬉しいです。
平日は大体同じスケジュールにしてますが、月、火、水…といちいち設定していくのが面倒なので。
(できれば「平日」ではなく曜日で選べるとなおありがたい。)

2.スケジュールが「削除」しかできないので「編集」機能が欲しいです。
ルーティンを試行錯誤しているので、毎日もう10分早めたい、などの時に全部削除してまた月、火…と設定するのが面倒です。
あと、今日はライヴだからSNSで情報収集できないと困る〜なんて時も一旦スケジュールを削除するしかないので、編集で今週だけ水曜オフとかできるといいなと。

スケジュールのON OFF機能も欲しいなと思いましたが、実行前についオフにしてしまう未来が見えたので、なくて良いかも。
制限が厳しいほど効果があるので、自由度は低い方が良いのだろうなと思いつつ、もうほんの少しだけ機能が増えたら良いなぁという気持ちです。

### 4/5 — 不便だけどスクリーンタイムよりは効果あり

*2025-06-11, version 4.2*

既存のスクリーンタイムでは「解除しますか？」という表示が出て、すぐに解除できてしまうため、あまり意味がありませんでした。
また、利用時間の制限はできても、時間帯による制限ができない点も不便に感じました。

でも、このアプリは「制限されています」という警告が表示されるだけなので、気持ち的に諦めがつきやすく、視聴をやめることができます。
おかげで、退屈な時に無意識にYouTubeを開いてしまっても、それが抑止力となり、視聴をコントロールできるようになりました。

とはいえ、大きな欠点があります。

この制限を設定している間、他のアプリも削除できなくなることです。
このアプリ自体を削除できないのは良いのですが、それ以外のアプリまで削除できないのは不便です。
制限している時間帯が長いため、不要なアプリをすぐに消せないのがストレスになります。

それでもこのアプリを使い続けている理由は、無意識にアプリを開いてしまった時の抑止効果が高いのも大きな理由です。

スマホの利用を完全に制限するのは難しいと思いますが、「他のアプリも削除できなくなる」という欠点は改善されることを願っています。

### 1/5 — いみなし

*2025-06-10, version 4.2*

適当に50文字連打するだけで解除されるようになった

## Frequently asked questions about Time Rich (Digital Detox)

### What does Time Rich do?

Time Rich is a digital detox application designed to help users regain control of their time by blocking distracting apps and websites. It offers features like quick blocks, scheduled blocks, and time limits to encourage mindful smartphone usage and reduce screen time.

### What are the core features of Time Rich?

The core features include simple one-tap blocking, the ability to set scheduled blocks for specific days and times, and setting time limits for app usage. Unlocking a block requires a short reflection, and the app has minimal notifications and no sign-up requirement.

### How much does Time Rich cost?

The core features of Time Rich, such as Quick Block, Scheduled Block, and Time Limit, are completely free. There is an optional Premium Plan available for $2.99 per month which removes ads and offers additional customization and features.

### Is Time Rich available on all devices?

The provided description does not explicitly state compatibility with specific operating systems (iOS or Android). However, it mentions a subscription service linked to Apple's iTunes, suggesting it is available on iOS devices. Further information would be needed to confirm Android availability.

### How does the reflection feature work?

To help users resist the urge to immediately unlock their phone, Time Rich requires a short written reflection each time a block is lifted. This process is intentionally designed to be a minor hassle, promoting more thoughtful consideration before resuming app usage.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.6 — 2025-09-09

■ Changed the text used for unblocking to be easier to understand and updated the font!

### 4.5 — 2025-06-23

■ With the Premium Plan, you can now suppress the Unblock button!
On the block screen, simply select a duration between 1 and 7 days and tap “Start Suppression” — the unblock button will be hidden for the selected period.
Enjoy a more disciplined digital detox experience!

### 4.3 — 2025-06-16

■ To unlock, you’ll now need to carefully retype powerful quotes about valuing time — word for word!

We’ve received several comments that writing a reflection alone isn’t always enough to maintain a strong commitment to digital detox.
So, we’ve introduced a new feature!

By retyping meaningful quotes exactly as they are, you’ll be reminded of the importance of time — and it just might give you that extra push to stay on track with your digital detox.

If you have any feedback or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to reach out via the form below:

### 4.2 — 2025-06-09

■ Updated subscription messaging!

■ To help you use your phone more mindfully, we’ve added a short ad that plays before you write your reflection.
This supports the app’s operation while encouraging healthy phone habits.
If you subscribe, these ads will be removed.

*The following description was for ver 4.0 and 4.1.

■ Improvements to the Subscription Features!
• We fixed a bug where banner ads were being displayed to users who were still subscribed to older plans that existed before the Premium Plan. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
• Previously, TimeLimit settings were restricted to be changed only once every 3 days for all subscribers. We’ve now updated this behavior: a new Lock button has been introduced. After pressing the button, settings will be locked for 3 days — but if you don’t press it, you can modify the settings freely. This gives subscribers more flexibility in how they use the feature.
• Just like with TimeLimit, we’ve also added a Lock button for the Schedule Block feature. Pressing the button will prevent the schedule from being deleted for 3 days.

Please enjoy the stricter digital detox life by using our subscription! 

■ 20,000 Downloads Achieved!

We’re thrilled to announce that Tokimochi has surpassed 20,000 downloads!
Thank you so much to everyone who’s been using the app regularly—we truly appreciate your support.

After being featured in anan magazine last year, we’re excited to share that Tokimochi will be featured in the June 2025 issue of Tarzan magazine. Stay tuned!

■ Goodbye to the “Pay & Unlock” Feature — Reflection Is Now Required

Due to App Store review restrictions, we’ve had to remove the “Unlock for 100 yen” feature in this update.
From June 2025 onward, you’ll need to write a reflection to unlock a block before it ends.
• Copy-pasting is not allowed
• You must write a certain number of characters
• It’s designed to make you stop and think before unlocking

Our goal is to help you pause and reconsider before breaking your own rule.

■ Ads (AdMob) Coming to the Free Plan
Until now, Tokimochi has been ad-free. However, starting with this update, ads will appear at the top of the screen in the free plan (note: no video ads).
This change allows us to keep core features free for all users.

■ New Subscription Plan
We’re replacing the old subscription options with a new plan, which includes the following features:
• No ads
• View your past reflection entries
• Time Limit settings can only be edited/saved once every 3 days for stricter self-control
• Get notified when a block is lifted
• Choose from over 5 different theme colors
• Motivational quotes increase from 10 to over 30
• Mochi-kun gets a more disciplined (stoic) look

You can try it free for the first 7 days, and cancel anytime during the trial.

If you’re already subscribed to the current plan, you’ll continue to enjoy all features of the new plan at your current price as long as your subscription remains active.
If you cancel your current subscription, you’ll need to subscribe again at the new rate.
