Well designed and one of the few apps I actually use
RS_Ura
I’ve tried a bunch of screen time apps over the past few months but this is one of the few that’s actually stayed on my phone.The first thing I noticed was how clean and thoughtfully designed it is. The UI feels polished, it’s fun to use, and everything just makes sense.What I like most is that it doesn’t try to do a hundred different things. It focuses on the features you actually need to stay off your phone and does them really well. That simplicity is what makes me keep coming back to it.It’s now become part of my daily routine, and I find myself using it every day. If you’re looking for a screen time app that’s effective without feeling overwhelming, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try.
Really enjoying this app

I’ve tried a few screen time apps before, but I like that this one makes it feel more fun and motivating instead of just blocking you from using your phone. The pirate theme is super cute, and earning rewards while spending less time on my phone is such a fun touch. Simple, cute, and actually helpful!
Adorable, yet helpful

Love the design and the simple UI, and somehow it continues to motivate me to engage most days — and disengage with other apps. It’s not a miraculous solve for app distraction/blackholes, but it’s simple and helpful enough (and very cute) that it draws me back to use it. It works great as a task timer during the work day, and customizing the character is such a treat ;-)
Developer Response
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are thrilled to hear that the design and characters keep you motivated. It is wonderful that it helps you stay focused on your tasks and cut down on distractions.
So many things feels right

This app really helped me waste less time on my phone. What really stands out to me at first is how it’s not judgy as other apps out there. It helped me with intentional time spent on the phone while being really friendly and fun.
Developer Response
Thank you for sharing this! Not being judgy might actually be one of our favorite compliments yet. We really believe building better phone habits shouldn't feel like punishment, so hearing that the app feels friendly and fun while still helping you spend your time intentionally means we're on the right track. Thanks for sailing with us!
Ahoy! 2.0.2 is a light patch: small fixes and polish below deck. Smooth sailing!
