User Reviews

Users praise its minimalist design and effectiveness at curbing screen time through timers and 24-hour blocks, boosting self-control and accountability. However, recurring complaints focus on subscription pricing and paywalled features, limited free access, and restricted customization. Some report setup friction and unreliable widgets, and a few note it’s not well suited for work tasks. Overall, design and effectiveness are strong, but monetization and usability tradeoffs temper enthusiasm.
Pros
  • Helps reduce screen time and fosters self-control by creating friction and allowing temporary 24-hour blocks.
  • Minimalist, clean UI with black-and-white design that users appreciate.
  • Effective block/timer features (24-hour blocks, timers) that support discipline.
  • Encourages accountability and boundaries between phone use and life.
  • Helpful and responsive support and ongoing development.
Cons
  • Ongoing subscription pricing; many features require paying and are perceived as a cash grab.
  • Free version is limited and can be disabled after a day; basic features are gated behind paywall.
  • Limited customization: you can't easily modify which apps are blocked or rename shortcuts without subscribing.
  • Usability/friction: setup can be tedious; some features (widgets) may not work as advertised.
  • Not ideal for work use; time limits don't account for work-day needs.

I love this app! Finally a solution to help keep my app usage down to only what’s a priority. It helps me be more mindful. My favorite feature is the ability to completely block an app before bed and right after waking up. This has finally helped me reduce my anxiety and help me sleep. I used to have insomnia.

Have only been using for a week, but my social media time has gone from ~4-6 hours a day to under 1 hour. My total screen time is down 40%. The biggest help is setting it to block the apps for you during culprit scrolling hours. I set mine to block social media in the morning and night to keep me from doom scrolling in bed. It takes a little time to get it set up, but once it’s all said and done you’re left with a pretty and minimal phone interface.
