User Reviews
Exactly the kind of app I've been looking for. A lot of apps out there will only limit screen time or have some other trick to limit your screen time, but none of them seemed to work for me. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Game changer for my ADHD. I was losing 3-4 hours daily to Instagram Reels and couldn't stop myself. UNDOOMED's Messages Only mode means I can still check DMs without getting sucked into the feed. My productivity has skyrocketed. The Clarity Score feature is incredibly motivating—watching my focused time increase each week keeps me accountable. Finally an app that respects my intelligence instead of shaming me.
As a student, Reddit was destroying my study sessions. I'd open it for one quick question and lose 2 hours to endless scrolling. UNDOOMED blocks the infinite scroll but lets me search specific subreddits. The parental lock feature is genius—I can't disable it during exam weeks even when I'm tempted. Went from barely passing to dean's list. The privacy aspect is huge too—everything stays on my device, no creepy tracking. Worth every penny of the Pro subscription.
Subtle, respectful nudges that actually helped me stop infinite scrolling on Facebook and X. I used to lose entire evenings to my timeline—now I check what I need and move on. The app feels clean, fast, and doesn't try to lecture me about my habits. Just blocks the distractions and lets me take control back.
Love the lightweight feel and the fact it's privacy-first. No guilt-tripping notifications, no creepy data collection, no premium upsell spam. Just honest features that actually work. Finally an app that respects users instead of exploiting their attention. The Messages Only mode for LinkedIn is a game-changer for professional networking.
Simple idea, well executed. Perfect balance of features and simplicity without overwhelming you with options. The Clarity Score keeps me motivated, and the parental lock prevents me from cheating during work hours. Best investment I've made for my digital wellness this year.
