Saves me from wasting my life away

I downloaded this app after watching one of Drew Gooden’s YT videos to help me stop scrolling so much. Though I still struggle sometimes, this app has helped me stop spending 16 hours on TikTok and Twitter. My screen time has gone down drastically and I feel like my time is mine again.

I really hope the developer keeps this app free, but I understand that he’s gotta eat. Only time I’ve ever tipped for a free app before 🫡

Amazing app, with developers that care!

It is very upsetting that apple does not have a better native screen time limiting system set in place. It really shows that big corporation only care about making a profit…

There are so many health issues arising from extended phone use that wanting to practice good digital hygiene should not be a paid service!!

This app is not only better than the other paid apps in terms of better strict blocking. On top of its superior service it offers it all for free, which shows the developers actually care about the well being of people.

While there are a few small bugs such as total screen time not showing correctly, or a weak user interface. But all the main(important) features work as expected, and there are a ton of customizations.

I really believe that apple should take a few pointers from the developers of this app, as this is what people need.

This app really should be rated at the top of the app store for productivity, and health/wellness. I would recommend this app to anyone that is trying to reduce their screen time, their stress, or change their life.

Amazing App!

I generally don’t write reviews, but this app deserves it. It’s straightforward, simple, and I’ve found it genuinely helpful. It forces you to pause before opening the apps you’ve chosen to block which really does help bring down your screen time. You can even block certain apps on a schedule. There are a bunch of features, but it isn’t overwhelming or confusing. I genuinely recommend this app! :)
And! All the features are free!
