Honestly, I was skeptical because I’ve tried basic screen-time settings before and always ended up ignoring them. But Stay Free has actually been a game changer for me. It’s helped me cut out a ridiculous amount of mindless scrolling and actually reclaim time in my day for things that matter. The charts are spotless, and set-up takes like two minutes. If you struggle with focus or phone addiction, it’s 100% worth downloading.

This app is the best I've used for time management. It has options that actually make sense and that really allow you to take control of your time. The In-app blocking is the best feature I've seen since you can block specific features of apps instead of whole apps. That way I can for example use YouTube without the risk of opening shorts and starting to doomscroll. Thank you for this!

Does not work for TikTok! I've enabled all the permissions, set a timer, and even with a timer of 1 minute the TikTok app will not be blocked, it just stays open, no notification, no block screen, nothing. Stay free sees the activity, the usage timer bar is full, but the app remains openable and functional. Weirdly clock based timer (like 9pm shutoff) does work, just not usage based.

Updating my previous review: this app still randomly closes apps that are not listed to be excluded. For example, I had a handful of apps slated to be blocked on a schedule. What was not included in that was my messaging app. It was not check marked and nothing even similar was selected, so this app just runs wild on your phone blocking stuff. Good luck.

Lots of good features, pleasant UI, but VERY buggy and will randomly tell me that I've hit limits that don't even exist.
