What really makes this app shine is its beautiful UI... it also allows you to control adding breaks and controlling the strictness of the breaks.

This is a really good app for controlling screen time. I can't describe how much it has helped me control my excessive social media usage.

Minimalistic and does what it says!

I usually don't leave reviews but this app is something I've been looking for - simple means to block apps and doesn't collect my data :)

What separates this from other screen time apps are two things: the one break per hour, and strict mode.

Great Tool
