About this app
✨ "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities" - Albus Dumbledore ✨
⚠️ iChooseTo may not work on devices that 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), a screen appears (for a chosen 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.
📱 Do you find yourself wasting hours on semi-productive apps like YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, or WhatsApp?
🤯 Have you tried every PlayStore app that promises to boost your productivity, but you still have the bad habit of opening time-wasting apps without a second thought?
💡 Why is iChooseTo different?
✅ 1) It gives YOU the power to choose: You can use apps for both 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 app blockers stop you after you've run out of time ⏱️. They limit the time you're able to waste. iCT makes it less likely that you'll waste time in the first place!
🚀 Give it a try, write a review with ideas for improvement, and be part of making this the best app-blocking app for Android! 💙

Seems to be helping me use certain apps less. The only con I've noticed so far is that if I try to open some apps (Facebook, Insta) through a notification, it doesn't always go to that post. Sometimes, and I haven't figured out a pattern yet, it just opens the main feed.

Hi, thanks for your honest feedback! Please use Delay-iCT or Pause-iCT (u can apply it only to those specific apps) to work around those bugs. Best regards

The app is good. I would give 5 five stars, however a major flaw is the waiting time screen sometimes appears twice when launching an app. Also the app doesn't also run in the background properly but that's probably more of my oem fault then the app developer. Edit: I changed the time from 10s to 5s and now it only appears once. I also downloaded good guardian and changed it to quick switching mode. I also went to device care and excluded the app in memory settings. I am using s20 android 12

I'm sry, I thought I already replied but I didn't!
May u be able to send a mail of the appearing-twice-problem? This is the first time I hear of this problem.
Background-Problem: Visit dontkillmyapp.com
Maybe this will solve the first problem too!
Again, sorry for the late reply!

Simple & Effective My use: + 2 sec wait and manually starting the counter, fast use of the target app but with a warning and conscious action. + 4 min re-chooseto, 7 sec wait, constant reminders to disengage. + Constantly editing the message to something personally meaningful, actionable and concrete. Combined with: + Deleting problematic apps, if the urge is big I will redownload them. + Search for everything. On home screen only non-problematic apps. Make it difficult to TURN IT OFF

This sounds perfect 👌
I'd add a deep and conscious breath each time when iChooseTo opens :)
And remind yourself that trying to be productive can eventually lead to some advanced form of procrastination. Aaaand sometimes it's totally ok to waste some time!
Thank u so much and kind regards,
Jonas
