An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Refocus blocks apps and creates real friction before opening distracting sources, but hard mode is paid-only and the free block is too easy to override on your own.

What people use it for

People who want to break the habit of automatically opening social media

What reviews praise

The friction when trying to open a blocked app genuinely breaks autopilot.

What reviews complain about

In free mode it is too easy to unblock yourself, which defeats the whole point of the restriction.

What users experience

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I like this app as it helps with unconscious opening of apps and whatnot. I do wish you could enable it without being able disable it but that's locked behind a paid tier.
