i found this a few weeks ago and have been really enjoying it. i’m on the paid plan. my screen time on twitter and instagram has gone down significantly as a result of the slight inconvenience every time i open them. and doing the breathing exercise before plunging into hellish social media is also surprisingly refreshing.

the app is a little bit buggy, which sometimes makes it impossible to “pause” it. but one could argue that’s a feature not a bug!

overall impressed with Clearspace’s clever approach to this issue.

Same here. Managed to wean off twitter. No longer feeling the urge or need to check it.
appreciate that! definitely working through the bugs one by one - both bugs in our code and frankly bugs in the ScreenTime API itself. but we're starting to converge on a stable state, and to their credit Apple has been fairly responsive in moving the API along and responding to developer requests.
