## Description

Screentime is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help you reduce phone addiction and enhance self-control. It offers smart reminders, usage stats, and real-time interventions to encourage healthier phone habits. Key features include a to-do list for focusing on positive activities, app usage limits to block overused apps, and overuse breaks with mindfulness tips and breathing exercises.

Additionally, Screentime helps improve sleep with downtime scheduling and a blue light filter (Night Light) to reduce eye strain. It includes eye care notifications following the 20-20-20 rule, rewards for reducing screen time, and delay app start features to break impulsive usage patterns. Start your digital detox journey with Screentime and take control of your phone use while fostering better habits and wellness.

## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's effective time-delay controls, customizable features, and clear usage statistics, praising its support in reducing phone addiction. However, many report recurring bugs such as crashes, unreliable background operation, and dysfunctional break/downtime features. Managing whitelists is cumbersome, notifications and filters sometimes malfunction, and strict blocking can hinder multitasking. Overall, while users find it helpful and unique for digital detox, stability and usability improvements are needed.

### Pros

- Effective time delay and app start restriction features help reduce compulsive phone use.
- Customizable settings including downtime and app whitelisting provide tailored screen time control.
- Free version offers significant features without forcing payment, making it accessible.
- Usage statistics and graphs clearly display app usage and help users track habits.
- Break reminders and calming activities during overuse breaks support digital detox efforts.

### Cons

- App has bugs causing crashes, delayed starts restarting repeatedly, and downtime features not always functioning properly.
- Background operation is unreliable; app often stops running or blocks apps unexpectedly.
- Whitelist management is cumbersome; users must open apps first to whitelist and some settings disappear.
- Notifications are disabled or malfunctioning for some users, and blue light filter can cause UI to become unresponsive.
- Blocking settings can be too restrictive, making multitasking (e.g., switching between apps) inconvenient.
