About this app

Are you spending hours mindlessly scrolling through YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and other distracting apps? Most people lose up to 7 hours a day to screen time — often without even realizing it. Our phones are designed to hook us, making it harder to focus on what truly matters, whether it’s studying, working, or simply living in the moment.

Regain helps you break free from phone addiction, reduce screen time, and stay focused. It’s more than just an app blocker — it’s your personal companion in building better digital habits. Whether you're a student preparing for exams or a professional seeking balance, Regain empowers you to take back control of your time.

I really liked the app and the concept with coins as that helped me feel rewarded for putting the phone down. Now that the coins are gone, I don't really care about ruining the streaks. I would like to see some feature that makes it a little more rewarding to have a streak or not go over my daily limit. Otherwise, I think the app has been helpful despise me being able to tweak some things to get extended time each day. 😬

I've tried MANY different productivity and screen time limiting apps and this is by far the best one. It isn't too pressuring in limiting my time (this is good bc usually if that's the case I go within the app and change my time limits as I get frustrated), it has an extremely good rewards system with streaks and coins (I think coins should be limited more if you have more than 3 or 4 hours in an app), and really gets you to think before continuing an app while you wait to press the next timer.

I like Regain a lot. When I use it correctly, it benefits me greatly. There are a lot of ways to put limits and restrictions without losing use of your phone. I would most definitely recommend this to anyone who either uses their phone excessively or someone who wants to know how much they use their phone for each app or setting. This app helps me to be more intentional with my time and energy. 10/10 Would Recommend
