See your screen time while you use your phone. A gentle nudge, not a blocker.
What users say
AppDose is a fantastic app for anyone wishing to manage their screen time. The real time overlay is especially useful as it helps me reflect on my phone usage. It helps me track my phone usage and kindly reminds me to take breaks without being intrusive. I recommend AppDose if you are looking to be more mindful with your phone usage.
