BetterSpent

😭 and it always sends me notifications that it’ll give me a 5 minute timeout but it literally never does

I used to spend roughly 5-6 hours on my phone a day. Now I’m anywhere from 30 minutes - 1.5 hours. I, like a lot of people, use my phone when I’m bored or as a stim for my ADHD. I’ve really reclaimed my phone as a tool instead of an addiction. The team is also responsive, polite, and all around amazing! They really care about their product and helping people. I LOVE THIS APP!

I’m normally too strong for screen time apps (i’ll overpass the blocks and delete the restrictions) but this app is perfect for me. Not letting me scroll for a five minute break is the perfect amount of time to stop what i’m doing and get off my phone. Highly recommend!!!

Me instale la app esta mañana y es muy buena. Cumple bien su función y es gratuita (excepto algunas opciones extra), me encanta la idea de que Lumi cambie de apariencia segun cuanto tiempo estuve en pantalla. Ademas el diseño es muy estético. 💖✨

HONESTLY, if you’re looking for a real review: here it is. social media was driving me INSANE, to the point that my mental health was drastically declining. :/ as a person with a social media following, i so badly wanted to fix this problem. but the biggest problem was… i was still addicted. i started looking for a solution to maybe help me lessen the time i spent scrolling through pointless posts & figured i would give some screen-time-reducing / screen-time-control (whatever you might call them) apps a try. there are other apps out there on the market with similar features, but FILOS by far tops all of them. i am a girl who loves to procrastinate & i sometimes allow myself leniency when it comes to things like the time i spend on my phone. however, Filos makes sure that after I set a goal in the morning, I fulfill that goal. & that was actually exactly what i didn’t know i needed. it was a biiigggg struggle at first tbh but day by day, staying off of my phone became a lot easier. as i continue to make my relationship with social media healthy again, i know i can count on this hardworking lil app to be there every step of the way (& every single day :D ) ALSO— i think it’s super cool that the founders of the app are college-level young. It makes it so easy to communicate or ask questions. & i just found out they have tiktok & instagram reels which i think are very entertaining & REAL. it makes me appreciate this app even more on a relatable level. :)

I had a big problem with my screen time. I was constantly scrolling through reels on instagram and tweets on X. I found other cool solutions out there that had different ways to block my phone. What was nice with Filos though is that it didn’t offer me many different blocking solutions but rather suggested the best one. It’s anti-doomscrolling feature is really effective. I am seriously considering getting the premium version

Great app to control my screen time. Love it

Has really helped me stay off of apps. Best one I’ve tried so far

Well I did love the app. I went through the App Store and looked for a screen time app that didn’t have in app purchases. It seemed crazy to pay someone to make me use my phone less. This was my favorite app I had found. Then they completely changed the way it worked and added the thing I hate most! In app purchases!! :( oh well, guess I’m going to have to delete and look for a different solution.

Great app!
