This application aims to help users reduce their screen time and limit their use of distracting apps and websites. It does this by implementing various features that encourage users to pause and think before opening their apps or websites, interrupt their scrolling, and set limits for their app usage.
The first feature allows users to set a wait time before opening their distracting app. This gives them a chance to reconsider if they really need to use the app at that moment. The wait time can also be increased each time the app is opened, making it more difficult for users to impulsively open the app.
The second feature interrupts users' scrolling by periodically reminding them to check their distracting apps for short periods of time. This helps prevent users from getting sucked into mindless scrolling and encourages them to be more mindful of their app usage.
The third feature allows users to set a goal for their app usage and optionally block the app once the limit is reached. This helps users stay accountable and stick to their goals for reducing their screen time.
The app is also configurable for different days of the week and time by app. This means that users can set different limits for their app usage depending on the day and time, allowing for more flexibility and customization.
Another helpful feature is the use of messages like "Is this important" before opening a distracting app. This serves as a reminder for users to pause and think about whether or not they really need to use the app at that moment.
Lastly, the app provides users with a screen time breakdown for only their distracting apps. This allows users to see how much time they are spending on these apps specifically, without being influenced by other apps like Google Maps. The app also requires accessibility permission to block websites, further helping users limit their screen time.
