You Don’t Need to Pay for Distraction-Blocking Software

Several free iOS and Android apps are available that can help individuals develop healthier phone use habits by creating physical friction and making it more difficult to access distracting apps. These apps can be useful for people who struggle with excessive phone use and want to reduce their screen time. Some examples of these apps include Freedom, SelfControl, Moment, and StayFocused. They work by either blocking distracting apps altogether or setting time limits for specific apps.
