This app is so easy to use and has kept me from wasting time on my phone. It helps so much with my ADHD brain is attempting to get dopamine but also not do work. I highly recommend this. If you need a way to lock yourself and your phone while you are doing work or other things. It even has a feature that keeps me from unlocking myself so that I can't defeat the things I put in place. Definitely awesome. Worth the money I spent on it. I heard about it originally on the Multiamory podcast.

This helps curb my impulsiveness. I have this on all my devices and so whole hours of the day are set up to stay on point digitally. I combine this with covenant eyes, which has both accountability and url blocking, and they make a really good pair. Only increased functionality I can think of is to make the allowed-url list populate across devices so I don't have to set it manually on each one.

I love the multi-platform features but sadly the app is pretty primitive for the amount of marketing they do and money they charge. On Windows the app blocker simply terminates the programs. On Android there is no way to snooze the block - only to end the session. I have used Stay Focused and that app does much more much better. And on Windows Microsoft Family Safety does the same thing for free, with ability to extend or bypass block times and without terminating the apps and risk of data loss
