Roots: Screen Time Control 12+

I have tried a lot of apps to help reduce my screen time and I can confidently say this is the best one out there. It’s best feature is the “monk mode” and I use it often. I cannot make changes once enabled, a feature most apps lack and one that I badly needed. Also I like the dopamine hits counter, I’m not sure if it’s entirely accurate but with it I realised how much a few minutes of social media usage generates dopamine hits. It served as a sort of wake up call for me. Using this app has reduced my phone usage significantly. With the time saved I am able to live more in the present. Recently got to clean and decorate my room, I’m learning how to play guitar, and I can focus more with my work and day to day activities.

Thank you so much, Marnelli! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear that Roots has made such a meaningful difference for you. "Monk Mode" was designed exactly for those moments when a strong boundary is needed, so it's wonderful to hear it's working well for you. And the dopamine hits counter is intended as a gentle reminder of how screen time can impact us—so glad it’s been insightful! It’s amazing to hear about all the things you’re achieving with the time you’ve reclaimed. Keep rocking those guitar sessions, and thank you for sharing your journey with us! 🎸🌱

Just a week of using it and I’m already seeing improvements. As someone who gets easily distracted, this app has been a life saver! Once I lock the app, it gives gentle reminders to do other productive activities. It kept me accountable without being intrusive, and day by day I find myself more focused and productive. This app helped me reclaim my time and cultivate healthier habits!

I love all the features but it is always lagging, I cannot make adjustments when I cannot even move to another page because for some reason it gets stuck.

Hello! Thank you for the review. We are sorry you're having issues with the app lagging. This is not what we represent and is not the case for 99% of our users! We actually have a new build coming out with a fix for this in the next few days. We'd love to send you a bug bounty for your time and confirm that everything is working better. If you are up for it please send us an email hello@getroots.app and we'll make sure it's all taken care of. 

Thanks again!
