This App Saved Me

After going through some overwhelming days, I experienced a slight burnout and struggled to focus on my work using my iPad and iPhone. I wanted to minimize distractions on my devices and found an app that could help.

To truly focus, it's essential to not only block certain websites but also change the user interface/experience of your digital devices, as they are designed to capture and hold your attention (ultimately leading to purchasing the device). Now, I'm happy with my minimal home screen featuring my favorite font(yes, you can use user-installed font). The best part is the app's blocking UX - it asks you questions before unlocking the app/website, such as a breathing session before unlocking, and asks how long you want to unblock for (ranging from 5 to 20 minutes). There's no immediate way to turn off the blocks without a time limit, preventing endless browsing.

While I initially found the Lifetime subscription pricey, it has proven to be more than worthwhile. This app's UX is excellent, allowing me to focus on my work once again. Thanks to this app, I realized how much work my brain had handled to stay away from distractions and keep focused.

My only request would be for the app to support launching from shortcuts, as some apps lack a URL scheme. it would be great to connect the app to certain shortcuts for easier launch.
