This is a good addition to the Productivity Apps collection. I'm fond of Mobile Flow, a similar app that keeps track of how long you're in airplane mode, avoiding distractions.

@lukethomas14 congrats on launching! Love this concept, as you know. Idea for iOS users like me: Use an on-demand service api (i.e. taskrabbit) to kidnap the phone for X hours. Just kidding, kind of.

Maker

@BlendahTom It's unknown at this point. I'm self-funding this, so it really depends on how this launch goes. Also, the primary reason why I didn't build for iOS was because I couldn't build the functionality I wanted. On Android, I can *actually* prevent people from launching other apps...I couldn't do that on iOS. I see "digital addiction" becoming more and more of an issue, so I wouldn't be surprised if major operating systems created APIs to let developers build apps like mine. We'll see - I doubt it will happen anytime soon. But I'm hoping to raise awareness that people need to get off their phone and enjoy life around them.
