This is by far the best app I've used. If like my old self, you are spending too much time on ... whatever (reading the news/sports/youtube/social media/emails etc.) either during work or during your family time, this one is for you. I've tried so many other apps to restrict myself, but they weren't close to FocusMe. Both in the functions it enables you (such as 10 minutes of news every hour, or 1 hour of youtube per day, or no amazon during working hours), and in letting you decide beforehand whether the block would be circumventable and to what degree. I also discussed it with my 12 year old son, who was happy to install it on his computer and set a daily 1 hour limit to minecarft. It's not cheap, but I got my money's worth back within a day or two. If that isn't enough, their support is extraordinary. I sent the support a few emails and they always got back to me within a day, with detailed explanation and solved every problem I had, and then followed it up to make sure that they solved my problem. I strongly recommend it.

I find FocusMe particularly helpful in that I can separate the sites that get locked out. I can lock out shopping sites separately from entertainments sites etc.

The other apps are not blocking apps. If you have minimal technical skill they're merely inconveniencing apps. FocusMe is the only app I couldn't unblock in 5 minutes of low effort. For the past 3 years it's been a cornerstone of my strategy to keep myself disciplined.
