Sabbath: Screen Time

This app has made a huge difference. I use it to block social apps one day a weekend so I can be more present with my family and it’s amazing how much better it feels. Also it’s beautifully designed

This app looks nice, but the functionality is pretty poor. The settings will show an app or website is blocked, but it’s still accessible during the Sabbath or Rest. I’ve tried reinstalling and reconfiguring but the block settings don’t work. Also the “leave review” shortcut in the app doesn’t work. And the premium sign up is tough to avoid. Fees like a vibe-coded slop app, which is disappointing because it’s a great concept.

I feel like this app may be a scam app. It has one review. And it doesn’t work consistently. If you block a category of apps it will work. If you select individual apps but not the whole category, the individual apps you select are not blocked. I’ve gone I and tried to set this up over and over. Also, they lure you in with a free trial but then present a confusing screen with subscription pricing, which if you choose a tier (usually for when the free trial ends) , it subscribes and charges you right away without the free trial. Frustrating.
