Usage monitoring to study your phone usage patterns, with a quick way to track your progress over the course of 60 days. You can view usage stats for your most used apps to shed light on how you’re really using your phone.
Tools, such as screen dimming, notification blocker and SPACE time to help you disconnect
Non-intrusive notifications to interrupt your unhealhty phone behaviour and to keep you on track
Achievements for meeting your goals which will build a beautiful galaxy over time
The opportunity to share your results with friends and family with SPACE Pro, to help them get over their unhealthy phone usage

If you think that you are spending an unhealthy amount of time on your smartphone and getting distracted or feeling addicted, then you’re not alone. Smartphone addiction is a growing problem all over the world across age groups. There are many instances of people seeking treatment for nomophobia. It’s about time we learn to unplug, learn to disconnect and start to enjoy life. Let’s start using our phones the way they were meant to be.

I think its an amzing app to break phone addiction and its nice to start small like stay on ur phone.for 240 minuites a day and then bring the number down and down to the. Number 120 min so i love this app so much especially that it has a reminder and tells u how many times u open.ur phone a day.....get it now
Jackie Kustan
Edited 1/9 - sadly had to uninstall after it failed to record or interrupt my phone usage at all for 2 days. I was loving this app when it worked... But it works only some of the time, and getting a "congratulations!" Message this morning for "0 minutes" of phone use when I browsed for 2 uninterrupted hours last night was too much.
Justin Bolz
The killer feature is the homescreen widget that shows your total time and number of unlocks. Anything that makes it harder to mindlessly use your device is good by my account. My main complaint is the notification blocker. I use productivity apps that require notifications to function, so that feature is unusable for me. Not a big deal, since android already has built-in notification control.
Pauline Ferrill
I had no idea before I got this app how much time I frittered away daily on my phone. Good to get even if you don't feel like you have a phone addiction.
Indist
Somehow the app managed to track 3000 minutes across two days... Either I'm able to be active on my phone for 25 hours a day, or something is bugging out here.
Stephen Colón
Good concept, needs a whitelist, it's annoying to have to remember to pause manually or start getting polyps, this is especially annoying and distracting when using GPS app

Leah Fawaz January 1, 2018
I like this app but I would like the option to change the time measured from minutes to hours. It's easier and more effective to see 400 minutes as 6 hours. I think like an alarm or a buzz when I've overused my phone would be more effective and getting me to stop using my phone than just a notification banner... But otherwise good app!

SPACE Team January 8, 2018
Thanks for this suggestion Leah - we really like it and will see what we can do!

It does keep you accountable. It logs how many times you used your device everyday and how many minutes. But it doesn't have a negative. No consequences for someone like me that has a very bad smartphone addiction. It is not helping me. I would want it to force keep me not able to use my phone

Rahul Koul December 23, 2017
If only this has - show notification drawer status (time spent, opened) option - block phone mode after a certain threshold - dim option could be auto disabled for first 20/30 sec on switching on screen (after thresholds limit is touched). Reason need to make/pick a call etc. - home screen was well utilized. May be add predictive usage for today and show usage for last 7 days. E.g. how g-fit does - focus time to block almost everything on phone. And in addition focus time can be pre-scheduled for certain days / hours in week. - also focus and pause can get more addition on home screen real estate. - goals and settings can be one option. Went to settings few times to change options.

Gem Bae January 9, 2018
I can't live without this app in 2018!!! Honestly they've geniusly tactfully convinced me that i have at least a mild addiction to my phone. Somehow it's the perfect challenge and the prompts i set to remind me if I've been on for 15 min don't piss me off surprisingly... They make me think about my habits and intentions and i seriously haven't scrolled aimlessly for almost two weeks!! But i HAVE STILL BEEN ON FB AND IG just less than normal and only for a good-ass reason. This app fits perfectly with the goals i am setting for myself right now and the concept of building a galaxy, with this color choice, is beautiful and straight up perfect for me. Thanks so much for making this. 6 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The F. I want an app that limits the amount of time I can use another app. So that I can be on my phone less. And you assholes give me a game to play!?!

Rebecca Galardo January 2, 2018
Doesn't fulfill it's intended use. Great idea, somewhat poor execution. Even counts charging and unplugging your phone as a log in. An for an app to offer rewards as a way to 'break' the phone addiction? Ironic and not well thought out.

Md. Aanis Noor January 8, 2018
❤️ Loved this! Truly, I realised hote much time I wasted only after installing this app. I'm still on the way to break the addiction, but I've reduced considerably. Thanks dev :)

Lars Soderlund December 23, 2017
It's a great app. In an age when most of us carry an addiction to our cell phones, it's fantastic to have an app to remind us to spend time away from them. The app can be a little annoying, but that's basically the point. It's excellent.
Full Review
abilashh senthilkumar January 2, 2018
The idea is ok. But the heck? it simply locks my phone for a single unlock. I can see the card thingy showing something and even a button to release that lock, but eventually it locks my phone again in seconds. Getting out of smartphone addiction is all nice, but totally getting locked out of my phone for a single unlock without reaching the time limit is pathetic. I had to find a getaround by opening Google assistant and camera at sequence Uninstalling right away 😪

Love the app but the tracking is not working well at all. Numbers don't get updated when app starts from paused state. And recently tracking has not started at all or become reset in the middle of the day. Would love to give higher rate if the bugs are fixed.

SPACE Team December 22, 2017
Hey! Thanks so much for your feedback. Just so you are aware, you need to lock and unlock your phone for the latest numbers to update. If this isn't happening, please feel free to send us a note on support@space-app.com and we can look into it for you! Thanks

Like the app, but there is one very big flaw. The session interrupt pops up even if the app has been excluded. This can be dangerous, especially when using the phone to navigate while driving.

Hey Sandeep - thanks for your feedback. This sounds like a bug so we'll get our team to look into it, as interuptions shouldn't be coming through when you are using excluded apps.

Really like the idea and interface. Seems like it doesn't track my usage during screen times though as it has just counted the entire time my phone was locked through the night and amounted to 600 something minutes?
