Jomo - Screen Time Blocker 4+

I’ve tried many app blocking services over the years to help me with my compulsive/impulsive shopping addiction (thanks, ADHD…), but this one is the app that’s really got it all without an insane price tag. I like the conscious use function because it helps me snap out of my “must buy everything” state and there’s a reminder that asks for your intention of opening the app. I like that function as well, but I think there should be a minimum word count on that because sometimes I’ll be bad and just type in gibberish or a single letter to bypass it… I also wish that there was strict mode on the conscious use function too, but I suppose there isn’t one due to its constant activation. Overall though, the UI is simple, straight forward and pleasing to the eye, and there’s a lot of other functions that I personally don’t use but can appreciate because I know it’ll help others out too. And THANK YOU for the student discount, I’m already broke enough as it is due to my bad shopping habits!!

Thank you so much for your detailed review! We were students ourselves not so long ago, so we are happy to help. Regarding the strict mode for a permanently active session, we will soon introduce additional configuration options that will allow you to do that (in a safe way). Keep it up!

I have type one diabetes and all of my medical devices I wear to help keep me living are controlled using apps on my phone. For this reason I must have my phone on me 24/7. When I first started wearing these medical monitors and having to carry my phone everywhere it was so exhausting. I struggled to stay off my phone 24/7 and wished I could just do something without having my phone with me. I am so thankful I found this screen time app. It made all of the difference for my mental health. I went from scrolling 24/7 to having firm boundaries with my phone I could not break. I tried others before Jomo and many of them were not only more expensive but they also had a ton of glitches. After switching to Jomo I will never go back to another. Even family members have commented on the positive differences they have noticed since I started using this app. If you are considering using it I would 100% recommend this app without hesitation.

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your story! If Jomo has contributed even in a small way to improving your life and mental health, we couldn't be happier. Congratulations on your change, and make sure these good screen habits flourish in the long run!

I was on my phone for nearly 10 hours a day. It ate up every spare second of my life and was completely out of control. I couldn’t focus on work, I was falling asleep too late, and as a result I was tired throughout the day. I have tried other apps but none work as well as this one. I paid for the premium plan and I’ll say it was a great investment. I can set as many limits as I want on apps that take up too much of my time, and I can set a daily limit for screen time. With the Premium, you can also make it impossible to override a limit, while other apps allow it. The plan is also reasonably priced when compared to other apps. I’ve lowered my screen time by about 4 hours daily and am still working to lower it further. I’m also more focused and falling asleep at a better time. Overall, definitely worth it! The three-day trial is also helpful in case it doesn’t work out as you expected. Would recommend this app.

Thank you very much for your detailed review! Lowering your screen time by 4 hours (!!!) is a significant achievement; you deserve huge congratulations. I'm glad if Jomo has played even a small role in this transformation.
