★★★★★Isuru Salgado· Apr 13, 2026
Appose is a fantastic app for anyone wishing to manage their screen time. The real time overlay is especially useful as it helps me reflect on my phone usage. It helps me track my phone usage and kindly reminds me to take breaks without being intrusive. I recommend Appose if you are looking to be more mindful with your phone usage.

My god. Thank u. guys, buy the lifetime while it's still cheap. Tracking unli apps and opacity is worth it. This is exactly, EXACTLY what im looking for.
★★★★★Maninder singh· Dec 25, 2025
Exactly which search from months. But pricing is a bit high, if discount is available then intimate here.
★☆☆☆☆Rishikesh Anand· May 29, 2026
This app is totally not started, if you just remove from background (even after giving all background permission) this app will not work. 👉 Your hour is better alternative to this app with unlimited overlay timings on all app. (I am not promoting your hour, I am just spreading this information as I was also searching hard for overlay kind of app)
