Exactly what I was looking for! I wish apps gave us the option to hide short form content but that'll never happen. Great app!

This app does exactly what it says! Choose the app(s) you want to prevent yourself from doomscrolling on, set the timer, and it'll pop up a screen blocker when the time runs out. Just wish it worked for Reddit too. 🤣

So far I love it. It lets me use YouTube for the things I actually want it for, the longer-form content, without getting too sucked into the shorts. I do wish, however, that I could set timers for individual apps. I give myself a little more leeway for scrolling on Instagram than I do YouTube. I don't want to scroll too long, but still more than YouTube. So far I'll keep using Android's built-in app timer for Instagram.

I don't want to rate this one star at all, however I have tried to test this with Snapchat spotlight, Facebook and Instagram Reels. It didn't register the time spent at all. I hope this can be fixed, as I love the idea of this app. -device tested on: vivo x200 pro CN rom -special settings enabled: yes -purchased dev pack for single device: yes I am hoping that it can be fixed, if the developer needs any further information please reply to this review :)
