Limit Screen Time・Taskfulness

I do have addiction to social media. I spent so much unconscious time there... I hate your app and love it simultaneously 🫶😻🤣. Thank you.

When I started to use Tastefulness, I didn’t expect to have real problems with an awareness of social media usage. I used to have 8 hours of screen time, and now I have 2-3 max. Huge benefits that I got: Whenever I see notifications from Instagram - I don’t run to reply to them immediately. Awareness of my desire to doom-scroll and get a cheap dopamine. I also learned how to work with my lack of energy (now I have more); I want to do different things, and my approach to social media has changed drastically! I highly recommend using social media or other things for work or personal use only. Try it out and check which effect it has on you. I also should mention that in the beginning, I spent some time to understand how everything is functioning, but it didn’t change my overall experience.

Taskfulness helped me save a lot of time and focus on what is really important. I especially appreciate a simple neat design of the app, that makes it even more pleasurable to use it :)

Not sure what's the reason, but the design and features upgraded big times recently. I like how it checks 'What I'm doing' when I'm on my phone without blocking other apps, and those 'emotion bubbles' are a definite improvement over 'reflect' feature. The app has a CBT touch to it now, which I appreciate. The only downside is that it's paid now, but it seems like everyone's heading in that direction. At least, this one is worth the money

I've been using this app for less than a week, but I'm happy with it. It does the job, without getting me bored as similar apps. I would say it's good to notice your emotions and put more control into actions, especially if you spend a lot of time on the phone. My screen time went down, but it's hard to say 1 or 2 hours a day.

The app effectively stops me every time I am bored and just want to doom scroll some memes. This makes me stop at that moment and think if I can use my time better.

At first I found it intimidating how it blocks my access to apps and constantly asks for a reason to do something, but now I can feel how it improved my life! Even friends notice that I am on time to our meetings now. My learning skills got also stronger as well, I can make it to the end of a lecture and really grasp what it was all about 😄. I would keep on using for sure! Thanks, Actuflow

When the time estimate I set elapsed, the app is reminding me, but upon opening automatically sets the intention as failed. Why? If I set the intention as ‘call’, but my call takes longer than anticipated, how is that a failure? Edit: I like the concept of the App and apparently the user experience will be redesigned in the future. I would recommend to give the user the ability to save intentions or autocomplete them, because those often repeat themselves and it is cumbersome to always repeat typing the same thing. If this and the point in my original review are adressed, this would be a 5 star app in my opinion.

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!
