We recommend trying out a combination of difficulty settings with your app blocking.

One popular set up is to use "Monk Mode" on your app limits, and "Normal Mode" on your downtime. This gives you some flexibility during the day, but keeps you from going over your overall limit!

Difficulty Settings:

  • Normal Mode: Easier mode, with ability to add 5 minutes at at time

  • Monk Mode (premium feature): Harder mode with no skipping or breaks

Difficulty on App Limits:

  • Normal Mode:

    • After you hit your limit you can add 5 minutes at a time

    • You can easily edit and delete your app limit

  • Monk Mode:

    • After you hit your limit, you can't add more time until tomorrow

    • You can't edit or delete your app limit after it's been hit

Difficulty on App Downtime:

  • Normal Mode:

    • During downtime, you can take 5 minute breaks

    • You can easily edit and delete your downtime

  • Monk Mode:

    • During downtime, you can't take any breaks

    • You can't edit or delete when downtime is active
