Screen Time - StayFree

Owen J

This app is quick to set up, and you can learn as you go. You can set useage reminders to start using an app, or use it less. You can set it so that it blocks an app entirely or sends a pop-up after a set time to remind you to sign off. The analytics are helpful, and the ads aren't overly intrusive on the free version. There are even preset "goals" you can use to learn how the app works and how it will best fit your needs.

This app is so well done. I have always struggled with overusing my phone and the functionality of this seems well thought out and tested. My favorite features are the ability to blacklist apps from counting in total time and the ability to block websites as well. It has operated smoothly with no major bugs I've noticed and it is effective without feeling pushy. Definitely the best screen-time control app I've ever tried. :)

It works so well that the first week was frustrating as it was stopping me from accessing things I have gotten used to accessing regurarly and drawing away from my time. I set a focus mode schedule for during the morning and thru the work day. Keeps me off social media and other unneeded time draws. Also if I find myself getting sucked in to hard and taking away from something setting focus mode for a set amount of time helps me keep me in the moment. So very much worth it for myself and family.

It does what it says with no ads! I really like the fact that it works with both apps (and app categories) and websites, as well can do a full block or what I was really looking for - a gentle reminder where you can add 10 minutes to your time. While I would like to be able to customize the time so its maybe a minute to finish reading a post on reddit or 5 minutes to finish a video on youtube, I love the fact that it is there. Edit: Having issues with it taking half my battery.

I wish I was able to set it so that when Focus mode or Pause app is turned on, I am unable to turn those back off until the time is up. As it is now, if I pause an app and then change my mind, I can just go in and unpause it again...it's way too easy to just turn it back off. I know I can require a PIN but I don't want it quite that harsh...just prevent me from being able to turn off a blocking mode that is currently active.

I'm the type to lose track of time while in the middle of things. I'm also a tech-junkie, and trying to limit my access to things like my phone often feels like a Herculean task sometimes. This thing has the ability to shut me out of my various apps and programs, as well as inform me when I've exceeded the time limit I've set for myself for any of them. Used together, those abilities make a wonderful thing. I've actually managed to knock out two books on my "To Read List" in just today alone. It's been years since I managed to do that!
