You didn't download this app to spend more time on your phone. DisConnect is the app for people who hate apps. Block the apps that eat your day, start a session, and watch the timer count up the time you're getting back. The longer you stay off, the more points you earn, and points turn into real rewards you actually want. Think of it like karate for screen time. You show up, you level up, and you've got something to show for it.
