If you find yourself spending too much time on social media, short-form videos, or games, Cape can help you stay focused by pausing excess app usage and restoring access at the right time. By adding gentle pauses and clear boundaries, Cape helps reduce distraction, curb impulsive app openings, and support healthier digital habits -— especially for people who struggle with attention or ADHD-related challenges. What you can do with Cape: - Set daily screen time limits: Apps pause automatically when you reach your limit. - Take a Break: Cape pauses apps after extended usage and resumes them automatically once your break ends. - Customize the Pause Screen with a personal message, countdown, and usage summary, shown when you open paused apps to help you stay mindful. - Use On-demand Access and Delayed Resume to reduce impulsive app openings. - Automate with Allow Zones & Block Zones, schedules, and Shortcuts to control access automatically. - Stay informed with notifications and reports. With Cape, pausing excess screen time becomes automatic, intentional, and easy. Contact developer team: root@getcape.app

BEST APP FOR KIDS WITH INSANELY STRICT PARE
06/01/2024

JustAri148
Heard about this app from tips on how to hide stuff. My parents are insanely strict and invasive, scouring my phone every night and reading through all my text convos. This app. Is. A. Lifesaver. I would recommend the pro version to anyone who wants peace of mind, (at the time of this review it’s only like $8 and it’s a ONE TIME PURCHASE NOT A SUBSCRIPTION.) The pro version has a lot more app space (5 completely hidden vs 50), and can lock with a passcode. However, my favorite feature is the camo ability. If you’re being forced to open the app in front of others, you can enter in the decoy password instead of the real one and the app becomes a note app. It makes it just look like a password protected note app and you can even change the app icon to look like a notebook. The BEST thing that I use this app for isn’t even an advertised feature. I call it my panic button. In shortcuts you can make a fake app cover (tutorials on how to do this are online), and mine functions as an app I can press that instantly hides certain app groups. All in all, this app has saved me literally more times than I can count and I would recommend it to any kid with insanely restrictive parents

So my mom is insanely restrictive and doesn’t allow any game on the phone everything on this app is worth the money But the only thing wish was thing is some sort of danger zone? Like becuz my parents are so restrictive I wouldn’t want them to find out about this app and others, so developers I hope you see this so you can add some sorta danger zone where this app “cloak” and my other apps on entry of the danger zone and WILL NOT IN NO WAY BE possible for the to come back while in the DZ.Dear developers I hope you see this because I really need this to be a thing, plz don’t make it cost more I’ve already paid everything I could on ur app. So other than that this app is amazing

BEST APP HANDS DOWN

Honestly before downloading this app and seeing that it doesn’t collect any data I was skeptical. Then after install and set up, seeing how beautifully crafted this app was and how flawlessly it operates, I was even more on the fence. Go to the developers privacy policy page to find out they don’t collect not even a % of data about the user which I admire so much for such an amazing app. The developer seriously needs a reward of some sorts like the idea is perfect, so many real life uses for this app. Especially if you like to keep your data secured and hidden while sharing your phone with family or friends or fugg even messing around on your partner ;)

You might not see this but the app is great and it does everything that I learned it can do like if you want to not let it be deleted go to settings in the app but one thing is if the developer can add or tell me how to do is when I hide the apps I can’t get into them without revealing them and it gets kinda messy because then I have to hide it again and I want to ask if you can access the apps when your in the app because what if I’m using an app and someone asks me to see my phone right then and there it’s gonna be a little suspicious if I take like 30 seconds to hide all the apps but whatever it’s just a suggestion
