( OFFTIME ) - Distraction Free for Android
I have absolutely zero discipline in unplugging from my phone. This app has been awesome for helping me do so. The minimal design and kicking stats are just what I need. I love going into unplugged more, having it notify my contacts that I'll get back to them later. It really has helped my phone addiction and made me hyper aware of just how much I use my phone for nonsense. Cheers to the developer!!
Super frustrating. I have tried a dozen times to set up my off tine schedule. And every time it says i need to turn off screen overlay through settings and apps. Then theres not guide from there. Then when you do something it says "nessecary permission denied". Ive liked and used this app in the past over any other... but this bug is a big disappointment.
This app is great because it is very pretty and pretty easy to use. However there's an option that allows you to quit the block by waiting a minute! And the only way to make that disappear is allowing the app to control locking your phone and possibly deleting everything on your phone! I just want to turn off the dumb minute timer!!
I bought the pro version specifically so that I could schedule off time for the same time every night. It worked for the first night or two and then never worked again. I tried multiple setting configurations and it still wouldn't go off at its scheduled time.
Works. However, when it is running, it seems I can still kill it in the background -- then all blocked apps are allowed to run immediately. Any way to prevent that?
This app is exactly what i am looking for great work but while sometime using unblock apps the off time screen appears and the app start to close which we use
not running in the background custom rom such cyanogen and miui have task killer, so its easy to disable this app. reboot restriction also nice improvement.
Helps u get distracted from distraction!!!! Helped me a lot... Thank u so much.... A must for students who r nearing their exams....
I've tried lots of similar apps as a student to help beat my procastination and this is hands down the best app of its kind in the Playstore. The Devs are helpful + quickly fix bugs + offer assistance. Just a suggestion: instead of the plain 'congratulations' screen you get when complete an offtime, perhaps you could make it nicer with custom sound and give people more incentives to successfully finish an offtime like Forest. That would make Offtime unbelievably good.
A good looking app that does its job. It's tracking features are shoddy - time spent on apps is wildly inaccurate.
It would be great if this app could link with what's app to allow the allowed contacts to get through. Stopped working, I have Android 6.0
I've installed this app on two devices. One, perfect. The other (Android Tablet, version 6.0.1) can't find "Write Settings" anywhere and so can't advance to set it up. Any ideas?
Great app! But the windows were shut down many times when I'm doing important Google searching, kinda irritating .
The best application out there if you're trying so hard to focus but cannot because you end up playing games or facebook. This app is a life changer. Boosted my productivity from 0 to 100000!! Forces you to be productive because you can set it where you can't uninstall or even try restarting your phone its still locked! Awesome app overall would give 100/100 always!
This app is exactly what I needed. It even prevents itself from being uninstalled and that helps a lot because I used to uninstall the blocker app and continue to allow myself being procastinated. But I hope the developers atleast gave the schedule option as a free part of the app. That would have helped me a lot as I cannot afford to buy the pro version.
Why using to do lists and calenders and allowing your phone being your boss. This app helped me so much to increase not only productivity but staying calm during the day.
It perfectly does what you want it to do. Perfectly customisable, neat statistics, habit forming. Thinking about getting pro just to reward the obviously awesome creators.
My notifications aren't getting blocked. Otherwise everything is cool n useful. It would be great if u help me block the notification temporarily.
Very helpful, easy to use. Love the insights feature. My only wish is that you could text back your priority contacts. I'd like to turn off texting (friends) at work, but need to be able to respond to texts from some of my staff.
I cannot manage to get it set up. Dialog is shown: Screen overlay detected and I cannot grant contact permission. After that dialog that I should wait for up to 1 minute is endless!
If you told me how to update the time , I would gladly rate this a 5. It does exactly what I want, but the I cannot for the life of me figure out how to set the time accurately.
I did what it said but coming to the restricted use of app I am not sure it's working I had set a profile and gave access to only few apps but I could use all the apps which violates what you guys say
U should work on app's ability to switch off as...it shud b something like...pressing real long for some custom amount of time..n not just a single press.......
And with so much control, while being pretty intuitive. Excellent app!
I'm not able to pass the permission process though I have granted permission
I can't stop this :( I am fail
There are some bugs some times when you need to uninstall the application
Need option to activate and deactivate each saved schedule.
Perfect app for me

This app is really a great timesaver. Works just perfect
Will increase rating if it would block popout of the messenger
Didn't serve the purpose

Helps you track the time you spend on your phone, and the time spent on various applications. It can even block certain apps for a period of time, if you wish to concentrate on productive work but your smartphone is getting in the way. Equipped with reminders, restriction goals, hourly, daily and weekly phone usage statistics, it is an ideal app for people who procrastinate way too much on their phones.
