Mindful Phone Use・Taskfulness

It just blocks the apps and you can’t define a task and duration in the free version 😐

I am truly impacted positively by this app. It helps me be more intentional about my habits and develop healthier patterns with my phone use. Also, I appreciate taking time to think about why I’m wanting to use my phone and am able to model healthier strategies for navigating social media. I recommend this app to everyone!

I want to try it. But it’s very buggy. Freezes on screen time app selections. Keyboard won’t go away on AI screen so I can press the start button.

Update! The developers were so quick to reach out and get the issue fixed there a very good team It was working great until tonight where I needed to access something ASAP and I opened a task and even though I had plenty of time left on the clock it wouldn’t open the apps. I restarted my phone and opened new tasks but the app was still blocked. This is a

This is now signup & subscription-only garbage. RIP Actuflow / Taskfulness.

I just deleted it. This app is now a jumbled mess. The new version ruined the core feature and asks for more $ from people who have already paid. Hard pass. I used to love the simplicity - it would interrupt mindless surfing with actions that were easy to customize such as a pause or completing a checklist. Now the app relegates you to a silly chabot that “rates” the validity of your activities and requests a conversation to explain yourself. No thanks. I want to spend less time on my phone - not more! And the app now wants you to pay monthly - even if you paid for the earlier version that was actually useful. Presumably to help justify the subscription cost, the app also adds an app blocker. I already have that covered. So I deleted Taskfulness. Sad that I can’t get my money back.

I recently downloaded it and I already learned some ways to keep focus on things that actually matter to me, it’s definitely a good way to start my work with the right foot.

I have been using the app for a while and find it pretty helpful already. Then the AI chat function was added with a recenupdate and I am kind of blown away. I thought it would feel gimmick-y. But actually, it helps make the app useful beyond just my phone addiction. It helps me figure out when I may need to eat instead of scroll, how much time I should spend on a task (and then visually reminds me that this is the task I’m supposed to focus on), and it even helped me figure out how to get on with my day when I got sidetracked because I was tired and scattered. It’s hard to explain how this is possible, but I think it replaces the missing “voice in my head” that should ask me “hey, are you tired? Aren’t you supposed to be doing xyz right now? Is there something else you were meaning to do?” And basically non-judgmentally tells me “It’s okay, you can do this.”

I was in deep procrastination and addicted to doomscrolling before using this app. I chanced upon the app developer's Reddit post and decided to give this a try (albeit with low expectations). Boy, I was wrong -- this app is so amazingly thoughtful and effective. Developer, thank you so much for this. You're using your skills to do good things for the world.
