Can’t you just uninstall the app, or go into your settings and disable the apps(Android)? This sounds like a cheesy cash grab. Do not buy.

Would work to reduce interruptions at work or a child at school. Why uninstall then turn around and reinstall.

Phones have “child mode” and some phones have features like “work mode” or “down time” that can take care of unwanted interruptions. And these are all free.

50$ is just a scam.. You can do the same with 0.5$ NFC Tags and a free “Task App”

This item is totally unnecessary. All someone has to do is already use the installed apps to keep your screen time down. NEXT!

There is an app on android called forest that does pretty much the same thing, but it mostly blocks your acess to aps in general , so I think this could easily be an app

You could just do a specific focus/do not disturb setting that would be easier to set up than this brick… And cheaper! 😂
