Limit Screen Time Taskfulness Reviews

I just deleted it. LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness is now a jumbled mess. The new version ruined the core feature and asks for more $ from people who have already paid. Hard pass.

I used to love the simplicity - it would interrupt mindless surfing with actions that were easy to customize such as a pause or completing a checklist. Now LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness relegates you to a silly chabot that “rates” the validity of your activities and requests a conversation to explain yourself. No thanks. I want to spend less time on my phone - not more! And LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness now wants you to pay monthly - even if you paid for the earlier version that was actually useful.

Presumably to help justify the subscription cost, LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness also adds an app blocker. I already have that covered. So I deleted Taskfulness. Sad that I can’t get my money back.

Seems like the free version provides no real features now (aside from 2 “emergency minutes”) which is a bummer. I really loved using this when it was Actuflow (downloaded in 2020), it was super simple and worked! Many thanks to the devs for those years ❤️
Unfortunately my phone must’ve removed my download of the old version, so I had to get the newest version that requires a subscription to use the reason/intent function at all :( If a pared down free version ever comes back, I’d love to use it again!

Think about it: many apps collect your personal data, but you’re actually telling LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness in your own words what you intend to do on your phone and why you’re using it, for how long, and at what time of day. It also collects your location data. Yes it’s anonymized, but are you comfortable with providing this data?

It’s a great concept, but the fact that you have to remember to open LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness before you lock your phone makes it completely useless for me.

I want to try it. But it’s very buggy. Freezes on screen time app selections. Keyboard won’t go away on AI screen so I can press the start button.

Good app! However, I think the actual intention on the second page should be way bigger - maybe the same font as the words “Current Intention. ”
That would help make an impact. Thanks.

App works great for being more mindful with my device. I wish the timer alerted me when time was up, though. I’ve gone over the time I set because I forgot to check LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness timer.

this is my most favorite thing on my phone now. please, PLEASE, don’t ever make it a subscription based app or something like the rest of the world is doing which ruins apps because what you guys have here is incredible. I set an intention, and while I’m using my app, actuflow sends notifications asking me if I’m still on track, while timing my session, waiting for me to get back and reflect on my phone usage. Its integration with the apple shortcuts system is so seamless and never fails! It’s really freaking lovely. I am on my first day of using it but as long as I don’t neglect the system and always respect it, I can definitely see it changing my relationship with my phone in a positive way. Thank you so much actuflow, I think LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness is what’s gonna help me with my phone addiction more than anything else on the phone itself will. I don’t need the premium version, but I may pay for it anyways just to support you guys because I love what you’re doing.

LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness is very useful, it needs some minor adjustments but overall pretty neat.

Great app that stays innovative and helps you stay off your phone to focus on the more important things in life. I’ve used it since approximately 2020 and it has made a marked improvement in my life and career.

Very simple interface and idea, but very effective for staying mindful about browsing. Thank you!

The only thing I’ve noticed is a lot of spelling errors. (I’m not trying to seem pedantic, as it certainly doesn’t take away from LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness itself! Just a comment.)

I am truly impacted positively by LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness. It helps me be more intentional about my habits and develop healthier patterns with my phone use. Also, I appreciate taking time to think about why I’m
wanting to use my phone and am able to model healthier strategies for navigating social media. I recommend LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness to everyone!

I recently downloaded it and I already learned some ways to keep focus on things that actually matter to me, it’s definitely a good way to start my work with the right foot.

I have been using LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness for a while and find it pretty helpful already. Then the AI chat function was added with a recenupdate and I am kind of blown away. I thought it would feel gimmick-y. But actually, it helps make LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness useful beyond just my phone addiction. It helps me figure out when I may need to eat instead of scroll, how much time I should spend on a task (and then visually reminds me that this is the task I’m supposed to focus on), and it even helped me figure out how to get on with my day when I got sidetracked because I was tired and scattered. It’s hard to explain how this is possible, but I think it replaces the missing “voice in my head” that should ask me “hey, are you tired? Aren’t you supposed to be doing xyz right now? Is there something else you were meaning to do?” And basically non-judgmentally tells me “It’s okay, you can do this.”

LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness, through using its automation in Shortcuts (super easy to set up), has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased my automatic, mindless screen time on my phone. I can’t recommend it enough! The number of times I want to open Facebook or Instagram but stop myself because I know of the intention-setting process I’ll need to go through with Actuflow to get into LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness , have been many!

Update!
The developers were so quick to reach out and get the issue fixed there a very good team

It was working great until tonight where I needed to access something ASAP and I opened a task and even though I had plenty of time left on the clock it wouldn’t open the apps. I restarted my phone and opened new tasks but LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness was still blocked. This is a

Apple’s screentime app can be somewhat helpful, but more than anything it just makes you feel shameful. All you see are numbers and stats with zero context. You’re inclined to believe all of your screentime is meaningless when that is not true. I’m enjoying LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness because of the mindfulness focus. It lets YOU determine whether the time you spent had a purpose or not. And it’s much more helpful to understand your phone usage when there’s actual context.

With Actuflow and Shortcuts, you can prompt the phone to ask you your intentions for certain apps. You can also set specific times this occurs, e.g. during work hours!

One change I’ll request has to do with the “check intention” shortcut for Actuflow. Currently, if the intention has expired, the “check intention” shortcut indicates that there is an active intention. Instead, I’d recommend that the shortcut has a checkbox to allow for expired intentions or have it indicate that an expired intention is not active. This way, I can better enforce if I want to use an app for, e.g., five minutes.

I used to always constantly, habitually go on social media and news sites all the time. They consume large chunks of my time since they’re addictive and I feel a compulsion to read everything. I tried deleting the apps and blocking websites, but eventually I’ll need to unblock them to check up on things. LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness is a game-changer when set up with Shortcuts because it requires me to write my intention before using them, and set a time limit so I am reminded the amount of time I’m using up.

I have so many suggestions for improvements and I hope LimitScreenTimeTaskfulness becomes better and super successful!

great app, feeling a surge of relief and happiness whenever it blocks me. thank you for making it!
