Zen garden zen life
Wow so cute and effective! Getting so much more reading done instead of doomscrolling :) I also love my little zen garden!
Too effective
This app is too effective at making me spend less time on my phone and be more conscious of my screen time. TimeBack is truly for people serious about breaking old habits and building healthier new ones.
Does it better than the native app!
It actually helps me keep track of my screen time and shows me where I can cut back, which has given me so much more free time. The app is super easy to use, and it’s really helped me stay focused on what matters. I feel way more in control of my day now. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get their time back!

Time back!
This app has been a game-changer in helping me stay off social media during important hours in the day. Instead of mindlessly scrolling, I now spend my time being more present and productive. It’s simple, effective, and exactly what I needed to break the habit.
Essential app
TimeBack is an essential app that everyone needs to have to regulate phone use and screen time. Great for all ages, the zen garden is a fun and compelling way to reward you for minimizing use of distracting apps and reducing your screen time. 10/10 recommend.
Results
This is the only screen time app I was able to use consistently, and get real results. Thank you for giving my time back to me
Cutest app!
Such a great idea to reduce our screen time usage coupled with a cute little zen garden! Love the app!
Game-Changer for Focus & Discipline
I’ve tried a lot of screen time control apps, but TimeBack is the first one that actually makes me want to stick to it. When I need to lock in for a big project, I crank up the restrictions for a few days, and it really helps me stay disciplined. Then, when I shift back to a lighter time block, I get to enjoy the zen garden feature, which makes the whole process feel more rewarding instead of restrictive. It’s the perfect balance between productivity and mindfulness. Highly recommend for anyone trying to break phone addiction without feeling like they’re punishing themselves.

Helped me curb my TikTok usage significantly
I’ve tried other screen time control apps but this one is only one that has been able to control my TikTok usage. Something about the motivation messages and zen garden tasks distracts me in that critical moment where I’m tempted to lift the time limit to get a few more minutes. I think the redirection is the key to helping me turn my attention elsewhere.

Great tool for productivity
Great app. More sophisticated than iOS native screentime limits because you can schedule specific apps more precisely. I don’t know how I feel about the zen garden though.
Fun approach to screen time management
This app has been a very pleasant way to reduce my overall screen time. A lot of approaches are more militant but this one has micro ways to nudge you into paring back. It’s really worked well for me, especially on social apps.
The zen garden is a nice touch too, gamifies it a bit. Overall, a very thoughtful app!

Actual accountability
Works so much better than the built in iPhone screen time saver. Also love the cute little zen garden as an incentive!
Finally an app that works!
TimeBack is the first app that actually has kept me off social media in YEARS. I’ve tried many ways to limit my screen time by deleting my Insta app or YouTube app only to find myself redownloading or going on safari/google chrome to continue destroying my productivity. I get so excited whenever new items for my zen garden get released so it keeps me motivated to continue my streak. Definitely recommend this app to anyone is addicted to opening apps!!

Must have for better habits!
I'm on the phone too much (work and personal) and sometimes I don't realize it until I get my Screen Time summaries each week. My friend recommended this app to me and I realized how it was just a matter of correcting bad habits! Everynight I would reach for my phone to check social media and TimeBack would block access for me till the morning and actually forces me to put my phone away and just go to sleep. It's really good for people w/ no self discipline like me. You can set your goals for better time management and actually get better sleep in the process! Highly recommend!

Love my Zen Garden so much!
I’ve been using this app for a few days and here’s what I think: 1) I definitely get more focused during the day because it takes a lot of efforts to open Instagram. If you’ve used iPhone screen time limit, you know how easy to break the rules; 2) I love all the little cute decors in my garden! This is my zen space and I can’t stop looking at it. Looking forward to more decors in the future!
