User reviews

Please make it

Please ensure that once a user has exhausted their daily time limit for specific apps, there is no option to extend the time by 5 minutes. Instead, there should only be a single, definitive notification stating that the limit has been reached and that it’s time to stop for the day.

adhd approved!

i’ve only used this app for a day and it’s worked better than any other app i’ve used. i like the live time update at the top of my screen to remind me of how much time i’ve spent scrolling. i’m diagnosed with adhd and actively seeing how much time is passing on the top of my screen helps me stay mindful of my phone habits more than any other app has. i use the free version because im a broke college student and my only real inconvenience is that it blocks notifications unless you can afford to pay. i’ve found myself actually opening instagram more often to check my notifications because my friends mainly contact me through dms. other than that this app has helped me greatly and i’ve found myself spending less time mindlessly scrolling and more time being productive or other hobbies off of my phone. :)

Love it!

This app is really good (it's practically my fav) and I can still access my socials in a confined space. I don't know why there's barely any reviews, but this app deserves MORE ATTENTIONN. You have no idea how the concept of this app is everything because it is different from your standard app blocking type of apps (Opal, Jomo, etc)

Why? It is harder to cheat the system in order to give yourself more time — eventually, in my situation, getting to the point where it's muscle memory to constantly unblock your social media and ignoring the warning of time lost.

However...one bad thing is I really want super focus mode and it looks like a good feature, but I never received the email to verify 😭

TLDR; This app is a hidden gem for social media blocking <3
