Screen Time - StayFree

Ryan Reid

Beautiful, well constructed, and very effective app. It does exactly what I want it to do. Unfortunately, it represents about 20% of my battery usage (Pixel 6) even when set to "optimize battery usage" mode. But maybe that's the point? I can't be distracted by my phone if it's always dead...

This app has helped me so much in such a short amount of time. It showed me how much I was on my phone each day and that I spent less time on it each week. I'm one to use my phone to cope with stress or lack of stimulation. So using this app to help create better relationship with technology is so helpful. Downloaded 2 other similar apps but this one didn't need a account, I just started right away!

It REQUIRED access to my web usage in order to function! In the past you could opt out of this. Too much of a security violation. Otherwise a good app....and in response to StayFree, you are correct that you can go back and disable web usage monitoring via Accessibility, but it would be more user-friendly if this was optional like it was previously. Currently it won't let you move past Grant Permission for web usage stats unless you accept. Overall it's a very powerful, useful app

It would be nice if the app would allow you to revoke usage for certain apps only for weekdays, for instance. It's also somewhat annoying that the lowest time frame for website usage is 1 minute. Just let me disable it entirely! For now, this works well in conjunction with BlockSite.

This has really helped me reduce my time on my phone and on apps that I shouldn't be wasting my precious time on. It's helpful (and embarrassing frankly) to be able to see how much time I've wasted - a real eye opener. I do wish you had the ability to mark some apps as "good" - for instance I use my peleton app to meditate or do a workout - I feel like that's not a BAD thing so I'd like that to not count against my total time. Also my Kindle app since reading is healthy and positive for me.
