Roots is not just another screen time app. We're the first to quantify the digital dopamine you get from using your phone, and we help you build a better relationship with your phone from the ground up.
I've been using Opal for 6 months now. When I first saw this product, it looked very similar. But after digging in a bit, it seems you've come up with a better solution and you've addressed my biggest issue with Opal.
Opal allows me to categorize screen time as good or bad, but the reporting treats all screen time the same.
I don't care about my screen time, I care about WASTED time. There is a big difference.
Looking forward to giving Roots a try!
@matty_reed Thanks a lot for this Matty! We are excited to hear this! Would love to hear more of your thoughts after you've tried it out so feel free to reach out with any reflections so that we can improve even more!

We literally need effective tools like this to value and save our time. Appreciate your approach.
I've had to power off my phone a number of times because it was just too distracting as I work. Looks like Roots is a good alternative - gonna install now!
@thisissukh_ Sometimes the power off technique is the best! We're excited to provide a good alternative that helps you build a better overall relationship in an approachable way. Let us know what you think if you give Roots a try!
First, huge congrats on the launch! 🎉 After checking out Roots, I realized how much time I waste on apps like PH, IG, X, and Reddit, especially on weekends(Have to look in my screentime stats.). Looking forward to trying out your solution to beat doom scrolling. Here's to more productive screen time!
@brave_nick Big thanks for your words and support Nick! It truly is insane how much time it totals to.. Time spent scrolling goes by fast! Excited for you to get started, let's goo you got this! 🚀
@zorando Hi Zoran! Thanks a lot! We are "coming soon" in some EU countries at the moment, but we are planning to launch soon (hopefully well before Dec!). We're excited for you to try it out!

The app looks really good! It seems like it will keep me more motivated than Opal. I'm definitely going to try it!
