Add Blocked Anytime
Would love if the list of blocked apps could be added to anytime without needing a break. I understand needing a break to unblock an app, but it would be great to be able to increase what’s blocked while in strict mode.

Progressed friction
The more breaks you taken in a day the more friction you have to do before getting that break. Example: the first break you take you do 5 push-ups and each break you take adds one more push-up to the next time you want to take a break (Reported on: iOS)
Unblock notifications
i want to be able to receive the notifications from the app that i restrict so i can know when i need to login to it. (Reported on: iOS)

Custom break ending soon notification time
Choose when the app notifies you when your break is about to end. Sometimes I’m watching a rly cool video that’s more than 30 sec and I have to wait out the friction again before I can finish it, and I often end up continuing to scroll

Dark mode for block screen
Hi, love the app! It would be great if the block screen would also be dark mode. I am talking about the screen you see when you open a blocked app. When using my phone in the bedroom, that screen is pretty bright. Cheers, Hein
Overall time notifications
this feature would tell you how much time you have on your phone at certain points and this could be used so people dont spend more time on there phones then they intended too.

Notification
I like 30 secs warning before the time runs out, but I don’t need the next notification when the timer actually runs out And also it might be nice if we have to keep the eye contact when you try to unlock And it might be nice to unlock one minute without waiting tomer

Scheduled & Recurring Time Blocks
I’d find it incredibly helpful to schedule strict time blocks in advance with the option to make them recurring. Use Case: I want to avoid social media first thing in the morning. By scheduling the time block ahead of time, I eliminate friction and prevent myself from falling into the old habit of checking social media before I even remember that’s something I want to avoid. This approach removes the need to rely on willpower in the moment—the block is already in place, so there’s no temptation to convince myself “just this once.” Great job on the app!

Days off
Not needing to add a break on some days, for example on weekends where I don’t need some focus time and I can just use phone freely
Completed
Strict mode / sleep mode
Yes, for strict mode, I think it would be good to not be able to access a break for another 90-120 minutes (suggestion is based on research on how much time it takes to get into flow state for deep work) Would also love to be able to put a set time in I can’t ask for a break to support a good sleep. Eg my screen time should be off ideally from 22:00 until 8:00
