This app works so well it's almost annoying. The forced pause is exactly what I needed to stop opening Instagram on autopilot.
My screen time was over 8 hours a day. blocked cut it nearly in half in a week. It breaks the muscle memory completely.
Strict blockers never worked for me — I just turned them off. The little moment of friction is what actually changed my behavior.
I'm 16 and phone addiction is normalized. I didn't want to waste my life scrolling. This helped me out massively.
The browser extension is the missing piece. Now I can't sneak onto YouTube on my laptop during work either.
Premium is worth every cent for the time I get back. My average Instagram time dropped to 8 minutes a day.
