This app has really helped me focus on what’s important while also training myself not to be so distracted by my phone. My sleeping habits have improved and I’ve reclaimed my mornings! Highly recommend!

They start off asking my age “so they can give me a good schedule” of course, they ask my profession, and they “calculate” how much time I’ll waste on my phone. Except I didn’t give them the number of hours I spend on it a day, and it hadn’t yet connected it to seeing my screen time. So its calculation was a lie. They break the trust early and I hate to think what other info they would try to steal if I start giving them permissions on my phone.
