User reviews

Users appreciate the app's strong digital detox enforcement with flexible whitelisting and emergency unlock features. The minimalist design and scheduling options effectively support habit changes. However, multiple users report bugs, occasional overstrict lockdowns affecting vital phone functions, and limited mid-detox control without payment. Whitelist management and UI clarity also need improvement. Overall, the app is praised for helping reduce phone addiction despite some reliability and usability concerns.

Pros

Effectively enforces digital detox by blocking or limiting app usage, helping users curb phone addiction.
Allows whitelisting of certain apps for essential use, providing flexibility during detox periods.
Includes emergency unlock options for urgent access, balancing restriction with usability.
Minimalist UI with a black and white palette that users find calming and easy to focus on.
Supports scheduling detox sessions with customizable time lengths, aiding in habit formation.

Cons

App glitches and bugs affect functionality, such as blocking allowed apps and causing lock screen issues.
Strict lockdown can lock users out of their phones or restrict important features like calls or volume control, sometimes requiring payment to regain access.
Limited ability to adjust or override settings mid-detox without paying can cause inconvenience and frustration.
Whitelist management issues, including not saving updated blocked websites or inability to add during detox.
Occasional UI problems like overlapping elements or unclear block parameters reduce ease of use.

I like that it's free with no ads. If you want to take a break from the digital detox before the set time is over, you have to pay a small fee. For emergencies, I think you get 3 free tenporary unlocks about 2 minutes each. I recommend they add a blacklist for apps instead of the current whitelist. And that they allow you to raise the fee for unlocking if you want for those who are really addicted. Right now, I think it's $1.99

It worked great for a while. But I recently stopped using it for a couple weeks, and then started it again a couple days ago and now it boots me back to the lock screen for no reason in the middle of using whitelisted apps. It renders my phone basically unusable when it's running, rather than limiting me to apps I need.
