Keyword text:
Smartphones are designed to keep you engaged. Sensory overload from enticing, colorful attention-grabbing icons is fooling your brain into thinking the screen is important. Impulse-driven apps hijack your focus. People end up distracted by notifications, procrastinating and wasting away their lives on mindless scrolling. We open apps absentmindedly and fill our minds with cognitive noise that makes us overwhelmed by those dopamine-wasting apps. Apps that you open on impulse and that steal your attention. The Delay Apps functionality is similar to one sec or screenzen but nicer. Simplicity with a wholesome, calm atmosphere. Digital minimalism and digital detox in a modern dumb phone for deliberate use. Stay focused with a remarkable experience, promoting positive and productive habits and deep work. Reduce screen time and digital clutter. Welcome back your focus and attention!

Simple and does the one thing I need well. I'm only using it for the app delay. I'm sure the slow unlocking also works, but I haven't used that.
★★★★★Davie· Nov 24, 2025
Simple but effective. I'm surprised this app hasn't got more downloads. I've tried many screens reducing apps, but they contain a lot of bloat. This one is very minimal and easy to set up. It has become my absolute favorite app and I highly suggest using it!

I like that this app is free and minimalistic. Two suggestions: a 5-second option for phone unlocking, and for app opening, don't close the countdown screen automatically after the time is up; give me a confirmation to continue, so I have a chance to think about if I really need to open an app.

When the delay is triggered, I can't cancel out of opening the delayed app. In my view, the whole point of the delay is to allow you to rethink opening the addicting app in question, and maybe choose not to open it. As is, instead of allowing me to rethink the act of opening the app, im just trapped until the delayed app inevitably opens, which is what I wanted to avoid beginning with.

You can now bypass the slow unlock on the lock screen by double tapping - this ruins the purpose of the app. Edit to reply to the developers: I just checked, and you can still bypass the lock screen timer by double tapping the center.

Hey, it really has some bugs. 1. When the screen becomes black with our timer, any tap or swipe closes the app and the timer starts again. Now, u need to tap/swipe to avoid ur phone turning off 2. When it asks for minutes before which u can reopen the app without the timer; if u cleared the input, the Text Field becomes 0, and whatever u type comes before the zero. Instead a filter on the Text Field would have worked cleanly Edit: NO MISBEHAVING. Can't fit all the things here, maybe contact u?
