1.0.9

September 10, 2026

Hi fam, we made a few changes in this version! - Fixed bugs related to Focus Plan - Now your focus plan will work offline, and even across timezones - Improved our Zen Mode functionality to make it STRICT! You won't be able to take any breaks or even delete any apps during an active focus session - Fixed all the notification bugs - Updated streaks so now you won't be able to restore it if you break it. So yeah, you'd better focus!! Enjoy our free app! AND MORE TO COME! Best, S.K. Founder

Less Anxious

Since I started to block social media with this app, I’ve noticed that I’m calmer and happier. I didn’t realize how much of an impact social media has on me mentally. It’s really hard not to compare with everybody’s on social media, and it made me feel bad about myself. And sometimes I can’t completely delete Instagram because that’s how I message my friends. It’s really a double edged sword but this app helps me dial back and pulls me out just before I spiral. Also, I love the zen garden. It’s super cute, and helps me feel calm.

Actually works

Ok this fixed the one habit I could not fix myself. I used to scroll till late night without even noticing. Now I easily get an extra hour a night. It’s easy and hard to cheat - love it!

I got more free time to do fun things

Genuinely very good and very functional. Got my screen time down about 2 to 3 hours a day or more some days. I have more time for my hobbies now

Best Focus App with Gamification

I wanted something that would help me study but also include gamification. This is the perfect remedy. This has made studying biology a bit more enjoyable.

More quality time in the real world

I cannot emphasize enough how helpful TimeBack has been to give me freedom to spend more time with my family and be present while I’m with them. Before I used this app I got notifications that I averaged 5 hours of screen time daily! I realized I was addicted to checking my work notifications and endless scrolling algorithms, and I knew I had to make a change. TimeBack was the best resource for me to block the apps I wanted at certain times, and gave me hours each day of quality productive time with my family and to myself. It’s been an amazing resource for me to create better habits and I will continue using it everyday!
