Pros and cons

Used by employees at top companies (Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.)

Focus Score with history for self-tracking

Teams plan for organizational use

No mention of Android-specific deep features

Primarily a blocking/locking tool — limited psychological/behavioral change features

Free tier is quite limited (only 1 recurring session, no history)

Pros and cons

Evidence-backed: users report 57% reduction in social media use after 6 weeks (published in PNAS)

Psychologically aligned — promotes in-the-moment reflection rather than rigid scheduling

Non-paternalistic approach that respects user autonomy

Fiddly setup requiring use of Apple Shortcuts app

Occasional delay between opening an app and the intervention appearing

Difficult to fully disable due to persistent Shortcuts workflows

Pros and cons

Cross-platform blocking across phone, laptop, and desktop simultaneously

Hard-to-bypass locked mode

Flexible session lengths (1 min to 24 hours)

Primarily a blocking/restriction tool — lacks deep psychological behavior-change features

Does not actively help users build new habits through psychology-based interventions

No mention of mindfulness or cognitive behavioral techniques
