Achieved my goal, which was to remain on school tasks. I like that there's even a weekly rate which challenges me to maintain my goal. Also, that I get to choose which apps will count for my hours. Personally I don't count spotify (just listening to music) as a distraction, or being on apps that I use to complete homework assignments. What mattered for me is to stay away from spending too much time on YouTube, reading manga, games, or social media. I liked the quotes too, they make me reflect.

I noticed that I was spending way too much time on my phone, so I searched for an app that would track my usage time. This app does that and more! At first i just tracked my time in each app, then I would participate in the challenges it offers (8 hour IG fast, etc.), and then I found a setting to allow it to lock me out of an app once I spend a set amount of time in it. I went from using my phone for an average of 5+ hours down to 27 minutes.

I love this app!! Very in depth charts to help you see where you are wasting time. I bought the pro version. I sas someone saying that they didn't want apps that run in the background counted... If you mark apps as "productive" they aren't counted toward your daily usage. You can exclude productivity apps from being counted in the settings and it will track them separately.
