Best app blocker I’ve installed on my phone

by jenfer26 – Feb 6, 2024

This app has saved me from so much screen time! It completely blocks notifications from distracting apps to help keep me focused. It’s very easy to set up different schedules for specific apps and I love the mindful prompt when I try to unlock an app during those scheduled times. It definitely makes me rethink wasting my time scrolling.

Perfect for what I need

It’s inconvenient enough to interrupt my scrolling but convenient enough so I can bypass it easily if needed! It’s perfect for my needs and the only tool thats helped me kick my pointless long scrolling sessions.

Experience after a month of using

Absolutely life-changing! This app has been a game-changer for my productivity. Being able to block distracting apps during specific times has helped me stay focused and get more done. I love how customizable it is, allowing me to set different schedules for different days and even customize the list of apps to block. Highly recommend for anyone looking to boost their productivity and reduce distractions

Life saver!

I’ve used this app for a few months now and I can’t ever go back. I have it set to lock me out of distracting apps at certain times, but I allow myself 3 minutes to browse social media whenever my brain needs a break. The other app I tried made it much more difficult to do that. This is very flexible, easy to use, and effective.

Extremely effective

I’ve been using the app for a month and it honestly has changed my life. Screentime is down and I seriously reconsider unblocking the apps during the quick breathing exercise.

Very good!

My experience with refocus has been great! It’s definitely helped lower my hours on my phone and has made me more productive with my time.

I grudgingly like this app

by CinboLow – Feb 14, 2024

Even though I hate to admit it, and I hate it when it interrupts my addicts drive to pick up my phone when I’m supposed to be focused on other things, it is helpful. I have it set on the weakest setting so I can interrupt the blocking fairly easily, but even so it’s annoying and it stops me from losing time when I should be doing something productive. I have no reason for not giving it 5 stars except this I don’t love that I have to use it.

Great app to use

by SophiaH323 – Mar 30, 2024

This app is very efficient when you want to save screen time. When I’m getting ready in the morning, I set the timer to the time I have to leave. Then, when I do have to leave, I instantly put my phone down and I’m on time everyday. I love this app, and I would definitely recommend it if you want to start cutting back on screen time.
