About this app

iChooseTo may not work on devices which are very restrictive with background processes (e.g. Samsung, OnePlus, Huawei, Xiaomi). Please visit dontkillmyapp.com to eventually make it work!

Main functionalities:
- iCT: Before you open an app (of choice) you get displayed a screen (for a choosen amount of time), asking you if you really want to open it.
- re-iCT: Choose again after a certain amount of time
- iCT-on-unlock: Stop unconsciously checking your phone. iCT-on-unlock will show up each time you attempt to unlock your phone and ask you if you really want to do it.


You find yourself wasting hours on semiproductive apps like YouTube, Instagram, Reddit or WhatsApp?
You've tried every app from the PlayStore that promised to make you more productive but you still have the bad habit to click on time-wasting apps without second thought?
Why is iChooseTo different?
1) It gives YOU the power to choose: You can use apps for productive and unproductive things. So why block them completely? iCT asks you if you really want to open the app and forces you to make conscious decisions
2) It stops you BEFORE you already wasted time: Many appblockers stop you after you run out of time. They "limit" the time you're able to waste. iCT makes it less probable that you waste time in the first place!

Give it a try, write a review with ideas for improvement and be a part in the process of making this the best "appblock-app" for android!

Absolutely incredible. Been trying to regulate my time on a social media app for YEARS (used to avg 4-6hrs/day). Brought it down to 2 w/ my phone's native app timers, but kept deleting timers. Then I found ICT. It helped IMMEDIATELY because I had to wait out the urge to open the app to distract myself. I now avg 1h-45min a day, and actually feel good while using instead of like I'm doomscrolling. Wish I could set different timers for different apps. But as is, still life-changing. THANK YOU!!!!

Glad I'm able to make such an impact in somebody's life😯 U should be able to customize for each app: Longpress in the applist on the app u want to customize. Was a premium feature, but it's free now :)

Love this app so much! I have ADHD, so distractions & losing track of time is a constant struggle. I've searched for an app like this many times only to find unhelpful solutions like shame-reports of time wasted in each app, or locking out of apps after X amount of usage like I am a child. This app is actually helpful because it lets me set transition intervals to create awareness of time passing, so I can consciously *choose* how I spend my time. Brilliant solution, respects human autonomy 👍

Wow, thank you so much for this review :) Exactly how I see my app myself! All the best and kind regards! Jonas For others: I really didn't pay her to write that review! (It looks like I did, I know)

I love exactly what this app is doing, and it attacks the issues of phone addiction in a more productive way than most. One request I have though: I can't find a way to just have it always running, it feels like I have to start it up every time I restart my phone or leave it on a long time.
