Jolt: Screen Time Control

I just did the premium subscription and I can already tell it is going to be well worth the money. I do wish there was a way to do an unscheduled session. Like if something lands in front of you that you need to focus on you can just start a session that lasts an hour or two without having to create a recurring schedule.

I’ve been using this app for about 2 weeks now and there are real benefits and it feels good to be finally working on my phone addiction. The gamification of it all helps and the trackers are easy to understand. Some of the bugs however are unbearable. 1. When checking an app on a break, it takes you into jolt to set up how long the break is. However there are times where it will just freeze my phone and crash. This is the biggest issue 2. Data does not update until I click in, so my focus score will say 100% and then I check and all of a sudden it’s down to 80%. Not that big of a deal, minor inconvenience. Overall, this app is extremely useful and the pro version is most certainly worth it.

I’ve been looking for what this app has for so long. I’m able to set limits to how many time I can open my distracting apps, and when I open the app I get to choose how much time I actually want to spend on an app. Once you’re done, there’s a cool down period, so I can’t get around it until I wait a while. Best mechanics I’ve seen in these apps. It’s really helped me spend less time on my phone. Highly recommend!
