Pause Exercise

This feature helps you stay deeply engaged, promoting a state of flow and maximizing your efficiency.
App Limits

Reels & Shorts Blocking

Websites Blocking
Limit websites usage by blocking specific links in your mobile browser.
Intentions
Intentions reshape your interaction with digital distractions by prompting you to pause and state your purpose before using potentially harmful apps. This feature turns impulsive screen time into a deliberate choice, helping you build a more mindful and intentional relationship with your digital habits.

User Reviews
I found the perfect app for minimizing phone harm and distractions!!! There are other apps to block certain apps or limit app time - this is different. Instead of simply locking you out, this app teaches you to pause, breathe, be mindful, and think about your intentions for using your phone at that moment. That is infinitely more valuable, as it carries over into other areas of life and doesn't encourage you to feel frustrated and want to get around a blocking app like a child in timeout.
Good app, perfect for helping me to not spend too much time on things and helps me take reliably short breaks without accidentally going over time. Only problem: It doesn't notify you when you are about to run out of time on an app. It just stops, so there's no time to save and quit first. Other than that, it's perfect. I wish you could download it on a computer though, that would make it 10 times better.
I decided to do a subcription because I thought I liked this app but it really doesn't help all the time. I had to go to a different app that actually allows us to put a pin number or passcode so we don't bypass our limits. Its just to easy to do that. I wish they'd add that because my android phone literally does that for free (but glitches sometimes) but a paid app doesn't even have the option.
I have used a lot of screen time saving apps. This one is overall the simplest but also I feel the most effective. I work in marketing and have to use social media for work, but find myself losing hours of work to scrolling, the intentions and time limits this app sets is a game changer. It makes me more actively mindful of how long and what I am using an addictive app for. I would give it a 10/10. After a week of the free trial, I immediately got the lifetime subscription.
