What app to limit your own screen time?

Just that really- am sick of losing hours to mindless scrolling through shite online.

What app do you have and is it effective?

I’m on Apple IOS.
Thank you!

You don't necessarily need an app on iphones. In your settings there is an option to set screen time limits for each app

I use Forest. It plants a tree/plant and if you stop before the time set the tree ‘dies’. I find it effective because I feel bad if it dies!

Hello, thanks for replying- you can just switch off the time limits though, I need something that physically locks me out and won’t let me change the settings and cheat.

it’s actually awful how little willpower I have!
