Keeps me on track! Procrastination is a struggle for me all the time, but I like that I can set limits for myself here. One suggestion...with the pause feature maybe you could set an amount of time. Like if I've used up all of my internet time but I really need to go look something up, I can pause for five minutes and then the rule automatically resumes. That way I don't pause and forget to resume! Thank you for this app!

Great app! I use it to limit how much I zone out on Reddit, the little toast notifications keep me more mindful of my usage. I like how flexible the rules are, and that you can stack them for a single app (e.g., limiting both time and launches). The fact that you can pause rules as well is useful for me, because there are times when I want to have free access, and times that I don't (though you can also disable this feature if needed).

My only problem is that there seems to be a glitch when I get a notification from a blocked app. For example, whenever a Facebook notification pops up at the top of the screen, it minimizes the app I was using at the time, even if it's not blocked. Luckily, the app doesn't close completely, but it's still annoying. Other than that, I'm pleased with the app. It's been an essential tool in my fight against procrastination and (maybe) ADHD. I encourage anybody looking for an app blocker to give this one a shot. It's great!
