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!

I downloaded this app last week for freeeee 😃 It has been such a great tool to limit screen use and be more mindful with screen time! I could see my use of different apps and place time limits on those most used. I haven't explored the app fully as these were the functions I most wanted To Recommend trying this app

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.

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.
