■ Features of "Time Rich"
1. Simplicity
You can set restrictions for apps and URLs collectively across the entire app. Theres no need to reselect choices for each block setting.
Starting Quick Block is completed with just one tap immediately upon opening the app.
Setting a TimeLimit is as simple as choosing a time and saving it.
For ScheduleBlock, simply select "Everyday" or choose specific days and times to add.
These are the main functions; there are no complex features whatsoever.
2. Unlocking Blocks Requires a small amount of Donation; Main Features Are Free
Its said that people are more motivated by the desire to avoid losses than to achieve gains. This human cognitive tendency is termed "loss aversion" in psychology. This app counters the impulse and craving (dopamine) to use smartphones.
Upon unlocking blocks, a portion of the donated amount goes to nonprofit organizations working for mental health, and the remainder covers operational fees (such as app development and design costs), all contributing to improving mental health.
For those supporting the continuation of Time Richs services, we offer a subscription option available at a small fee, but all main features are provided free of charge.
3. No Distracting Features
There are no advertisements.
Push notifications only alert you 15 minutes before reaching the time limit to avoid sudden blocking and surprise.
4. No User Registration Required
Once installed, the app is ready to use immediately.
