Refocus

In a world where we wake up to our phones, use them all day, then repeat the cycle, it’s hard to know how to break the pattern. Thanks to TimeBack, it helps me stay disciplined, cut out the valuable time I’m wasting on apps, and ultimately makes me more productive. Thank you to the developers for offering this tool!
