A great app for staying on track and making sure you're not wasting time on your phone! It's easy to get on your phone and end up 30 minutes later scrolling through Instagram wondering why you were on your phone in the first place. The only thing I would change is a feature to disable the app from certain hours. For example, I unlock my phone every few minutes at the gym to see the next workout, so it would be nice if I could have it not ask me each time from say, 7am - 8am when I'm working out.

While I enjoy the idea, I am not sure how many times I just press "dismiss", I think somethings need to change, for starters, have the options when you open the phone to just select an app you want to use, instead of typing it, and I think there should also be "scheduled sessions" where if you lift the phone during those hours it'll have that pop-up, otherwise, the idea is pretty solid, and I can't wait to see what else can be implemented with the all.

Absolutely fantastic app, so simple and easy to use but very effective. I love how you can customise the promts you are given when you open the phone. My only suggestion would be to be able to also customise the prompts that you get while your phone is unlocked, but otherwise its a brilliant app and im very grateful to the person who made it for making the world a better place.
