## ScreenZen Description
Multiple strategies to reduce your screentime

1. Delay before opening your app: A bit of time before choosing if you need to open your distracting app. You can have the wait time increase each time you open your app.

2. Interrupt your scrolling: Check your distracting apps for short periods of time so you don't get sucked in.

3. Set an app goal and optionally block when you reach your limit.

4. Configurable for different days of the week and time by app.

5. Messages like "Is this important" before opening your app.

6. See your screen time for only your distracting apps. Don't worry about Google Maps bloating up your time.

7. Strict block your apps: Either for time ranges, after a certain number of opens or ScreenTime. Strict blocked apps can be hidden from the home screen.

8. Locks on Settings to prevent you from changing your settings when you want to open an app.

9. Breathing and other activities to encourage you not to need to open the app while waiting for it to unlock.

10. Streaks to encourage you not to exceed your limits or override your settings.

-- BigDaddyJono, 2024-09-03

### ***** "Reliable, bug free and incredibly worth it"
Top quality, and I have tested pretty much every app like this on the market.
-- Michel Langley, 2024-09-01

### ***** "Best app for productivity"
This app helps me so much. I have successfully limited my social media time and I love that it restricts me. I have used my time so much better. It also helps me to intentionally open social media instead of automatically clicking and scrolling. Love this app.
-- Ariella Stander, 2024-08-29

### ***** "So far so good"
Haven’t used it much, but it’s definitely looking out to be what it promised to be. Nice.
-- SuperMegaIV, 2024-08-01

### ***** "So Damn helpful"
I’m a student and focusing on my studies can sometimes be hard when we all have this glorious glowing brick with all the entertainment and distractions in the world always in our pockets.

ScreenZen has helped me to stay aware and maintain a healthy amount of screen time while also keeping me focused on the things in the world that are infinitely more important

Thank you devs of ScreenZen  and I hope you’ll continue helping people like me around the world
-- Galaxy_Grenade, 2024-07-26

### ***** "Review"
Great for discipline.
-- __0707, 2024-05-28

### ***-- "update!"
please consider having a home page on your app where i have insight on each individual automation i create and where i can customize each individual automation. right now, the automation i’ve set for the app store takes me to whatsapp after the pause because whatsapp was the first app i blocked and there’s no where i can fix that! so frustrating.
-- dymel <3, 2024-05-11

### ***-- "Help!"
I love this app and would give it 5 stars any day because it has halved my screen time usage but lately it just stops working every few days - the limits I set for the apps don’t work despite resetting screen time so I have to delete the app and reload the limits. It’s so tedious. Please can the developers help?
-- Clairapur, 2024-04-30

### ***** "Phone addiction"
I’m currently blocked from instagram and YouTube. So yeah it works 😂
-- Charles Drickens, 2024-04-16

### ***** "Love it"
Finally, a free to use screen time manager! I love this app. Would recommend!
-- The Enchanted HQ, 2024-04-02

### ***** "Works great!"
Does exactly what it’s supposed to! I’ve significantly reduced or at least more intentionally consumed social media thanks to this app 

One improvement: on landscape mode, text is tiny, could be made bigger to be more proportionately sized

That’s my only complaint though. Overall, strongly recommended 👌
-- Willem Smit, 2024-02-16

### ***** "Ten/Zen"
Best app ever, hands (and phone) down! The smartest innovative features I’ve ever seen for apps like these, and with a great UI.
-- Louw life, 2024-02-02

### ***** "5/5"
Helpful tools with detailed customization to allow you to track screen time and lessen your time on distracting apps. Highly recommend ✨
-- TheFirstAndOnlyQueenAwesome, 2023-11-02

### ***** "Works really good!"
It does however take some time to adapt to the restrictions, especially if your really dependent on social and/or entertainment apps.
-- Yoder334, 2023-10-24
