Amba vs LingoLock

Your conscious pause before the algorithm pulls you in. Have you tried to cut your screen time, only to fall right back into the same apps again? No hard blocks. No frustrating lockouts. Amba solves the problem at its root: not by banning social media, but by helping you choose when you want to use it. How Amba Works With the Amba Tag, a small keychain, your social media apps only unlock when you tap the tag intentionally. No tag = no social apps.
