Detox: Digital Detox

This idea is a good idea for an app, unfortunately I didn’t get to use it because it costs money to use the app. Seriously, why would I download this app when it costs me less to scroll on instagram on my own. The idea is useful in theory however in practice it’s just another way to add a subscription service to your never ending list of purchases. I know it has very low cost in short term but i’d rather mediate my screen time myself than waste money using an app that is going to simply restrict my phone more. I think its even funnier how they make you complete an “oath” to lowering your screen time to manipulate you into a commitment before telling you that it costs money so you’re like “well I already made the oath and it’s only a few dollars”

HONESTLY, if you’re looking for a real review: here it is.social media was driving me INSANE, to the point that my mental health was drastically declining. :/ as a person with a social media following, i so badly wanted to fix this problem. but the biggest problem was… i was still addicted. i started looking for a solution to maybe help me lessen the time i spent scrolling through pointless posts & figured i would give some screen-time-reducing / screen-time-control (whatever you might call them) apps a try.there are other apps out there on the market with similar features, but FILOS by far tops all of them. i am a girl who loves to procrastinate & i sometimes allow myself leniency when it comes to things like the time i spend on my phone. however, Filos makes sure that after I set a goal in the morning, I fulfill that goal. & that was actually exactly what i didn’t know i needed. it was a biiigggg struggle at first tbh but day by day, staying off of my phone became a lot easier.as i continue to make my relationship with social media healthy again, i know i can count on this hardworking lil app to be there every step of the way (& every single day :D )ALSO— i think it’s super cool that the founders of the app are college-level young. It makes it so easy to communicate or ask questions. & i just found out they have tiktok & instagram reels which i think are very entertaining & REAL. it makes me appreciate this app even more on a relatable level. :)

Im glad I found this app, I’ve seen drastic improvements in my productivity since I started using filos, so much of my time was devoted to my phone on useless apps that drained my energy. The interface was really easy to use and I’ve had no problems with it whatsoever. Even my friends and family have mentioned that I’ve had a positive change in my overall well-being. I definitely would recommend this app for those who have trouble putting down their phone.
