- People who want friction before opening distracting phone apps
- Worth noticing
- The site says calls, messages and maps can never be blocked; Android is still in closed testing.
Field notes
The settings described include choosing blocked apps, setting hours of enforcement and assigning a daily time limit; a usage record tracks blocks and completed exercises. The site says app-use data remains on the device and that no account, email address or password is required. Android is not presented as generally available: the maker is recruiting testers for a 14-day closed test.
