Ratings and reviews

So far loving and I just paid for the lifetime subscription after trying every similar app I could find. Only thing is the push to get a subscription to continue using features is very annoying and starts too soon. They let you have it for a couple days and then stop giving quick access to fave apps unless you start a trial, then reduce more and more features including app interruptions. But, to be fair, they aren't pushing you to pay immediately as they allow a 7 day trial at that point.

This app works great. You can add your favorite apps to a main screen for easy access. Anything else has to be searched (also quick and easy). Not seeing icons and not having apps readily available bas cut down on my doomscrolling for sure. I do wish it also made apps grayscale. If Instagram, for example, were grayscale, it would definitely be less appealing.

I was very skeptical about this, but it instantly halved the time I spend on my phone and even recontextualized my phone when I take it off (so it's like rehab). I have to take it off sometimes when I am traveling and need to find stuff "habitually", but it's really a very boring launcher. the app features like timers and blockers work even if you don't have the launcher running on the whole phone. I feel funny about paying for something so ugly and boring but that's what I needed.
