It allows me to block problematic websites from my phone that I navigated to without thinking. It allows me to unblock for very specific needs after a cooldown period. Often, 60 seconds is enough to make me realize I don’t need the site. But it allows me to access, for example, very specific YouTube videos with intention without falling into the trap of browsing mindlessly. The UI for allowing an exception through safari is clunky, which adds some resistance to mindlessly browsing. 2 things would make this app perfect and 5 stars to me. First is subdomain support, which does not seem to work in this app. Second, I wish it was a little more difficult to disable a block through the app. It is easier to remove restrictions that way, which has lead to a couple of occasions where I did give into mindless browsing for a time. ### 5/5 — Please don’t stop Updating!! *2022-11-23* There are no other apps that allows you to block specific sites without having to purchase a membership or hurdle through some weird setting that even then doesn’t guarantee you a protective web browser. Thank you! Please make it tough to unblock the sites and not as easy as clicking a button. A code would help ### 5/5 — Works *2022-11-04* It’s great when it’s simple and it works ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-07-14* Not sure why my review keeps disappearing. Doesn’t work. Doesn’t block subdomains properly. ### 5/5 — Super grateful *2022-05-28* When I deleted the Facebook app from my phone, I started checking it through Safari. I tried to get rid of just the newsfeed but nothing seemed to work…until I found this app! I can’t delete my Facebook account because it’s a necessary evil—in my field, it’s what we use to communicate regularly and maintain a professional presence online. Now I only check on my laptop (I downloaded a different extension that blocks the newsfeed). On my phone, this app allowed me to finally disengage and focus on my real life. A hundred times thank you to the developers of this app!! ### 3/5 — Works pretty well *2022-05-18* Would be 5 stars but for some reason it doesn’t block Twitter’s mobile site. Works great for Instagram and Facebook. But for Twitter it shows blocked in the app but I can still load it, if I click Unhabit in the browser it says it’s not blocked, I can block it, then the Unhabit warning comes up, but if I switch app and come back I can still access it and it is the same thing over again. ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2022-04-25* Effective in managing my social media addiction ### 5/5 — Great for my quarantine issues *2021-11-25* During the initial Covid-19 Quarantine. I developed addictions to specific sites that have become troublesome as I return to everyday life. Being able to block certain sites while I WFH helps me return to normal. ## Frequently asked questions about Unhabit ### What is Unhabit?
