Take Your Time Back is in an invitation-only Android beta. Request an invite below using the email you use for Google Play. An invitation is required before you can join the test, and a request does not guarantee access.

Does it work on iPhone?
The current beta is for Android only. There is no iPhone version available.
Which apps and websites can it help with?
You choose the distracting Android apps you want to protect. Website protection currently supports Chrome only. Setup in the app explains the permissions needed for the protections you choose.
Will it stop me from using my phone?
The experience is built around a pause, a reminder of your goal, and a chosen ending. It helps make the decision visible. You still choose how to spend your evening.
