Good app for someone like me with ADHD. Not only can I struggle with distraction, but I also have a degree of "time-blindness." So having something block stuff in time to get ready for work, or go to bed, is great. It does sometimes struggle with syncing on time, but to some I think that's often with the operating systems. Support is often helpful with troubleshooting those issues.

ETA2: App doesn't understand daylight saving time and doesn't go off the phone's current time reading. It blocks entire domains rather than specific URLs, which is not helpful. Example: I want to block a specific Reddit sub to get myself to stop indulging in it. The app instead blocks all of Reddit when the filter is engaged, which is not helpful to me. It's also far too easy to turn off the filters. There's no effective cue to stop me from myself in bypassing what I tried to set up.

Hi Diana, sorry for the trouble! If you are having trouble with session times after DST, please use the in-app icon on the Today tab or email us at [email protected] and ask to talk to an agent. We can help. Enabling Locked Mode on the Settings tab will prevent you from removing filters during a session.

This app is a game changer for me. I struggle with impulse buying (and money management) and needed a way to just block my access (Amazon, food delivery etc). This app is just what I needed! The most important features for me is locking in my session so I can't end it early to buy, and scheduling a recurring session that automatically starts and ends. Seriously, this app is going to help me and has helped me already!
