Nicole Kelner LLC
Description
Helps users pause before opening distracting apps. Set limits for usage. Track daily . Receive notifications to take breaks. Customize restrictions and set mindful intervals.
Struggling with phone addiction and endless scrolling?
Free Time is a mindful screen time app that helps you pause before opening distracting apps, so you can build healthier phone habits over time.
Tiny changes can lead to lasting results. Use your phone less, every day.
THE MINDFUL DIFFERENCE
Unlike traditional app blockers that only restrict access, Free Time introduces a mindful pause before unlocking selected apps.
Before opening apps like Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, or YouTube, you complete a short activity such as breathing, reflection, or a simple mental challenge. This creates intentional awareness at the moment you would normally scroll automatically.
Free Time is designed to support habit change through gentle friction, not punishment.
