User Reviews

Users praise the app for fostering mindfulness, simple automation via Shortcuts, and helpful AI guidance. However, persistent complaints center on subscription-based pricing, limited free features, and reliability issues (purchase restoration and blocking failures). Several reviews note that the newer version diverges from the original Actuflow, feels less simple, and adds clutter. The value of the app seems tied to price, stability, and how much users rely on automation and AI prompts to stay on track.
Pros
  • Promotes mindfulness and intentional phone use, helping users focus and build healthier habits.
  • Seamless Shortcuts integration and automation makes setup easy.
  • AI chat/intention guidance adds meaningful, non-judgmental support beyond blocking.
  • Simple, straightforward interface that keeps users on track.
  • Positive long-term impact on reducing phone addiction and improving productivity.
Cons
  • Subscription pricing and paywall: many key features moved behind a subscription, reducing perceived value.
  • Reliability issues and bugs: upgrade/restore problems, blocking failures, and occasional unusability.
  • Free version is too limited (no tasks or durations) and essential features are locked.
  • Significant UX changes from Actuflow: the app feels cluttered and chat features replace the simple workflow.

I want to manage more than one app and would be glad to upgrade to Pro, but when I click to upgrade it hangs and says Restore Purchase and when I do, it doesn’t save anything. They I try again and it does the same thing.

Great app that stays innovative and helps you stay off your phone to focus on the more important things in life. I’ve used it since approximately 2020 and it has made a marked improvement in my life and career.

Seems like the free version provides no real features now (aside from 2 “emergency minutes”) which is a bummer. I really loved using this when it was Actuflow (downloaded in 2020), it was super simple and worked! Many thanks to the devs for those years ❤️ Unfortunately my phone must’ve removed my download of the old version, so I had to get the newest version that requires a subscription to use the reason/intent function at all :( If a pared down free version ever comes back, I’d love to use it again!
