Self-Control to Focus - Pro+ app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: WeHelp
First release : 31 Oct 2015
App size: 45.75 Mb
Self-Control is based on my simple idea, that we can forget our password for a while to block ourselves from logging in social networks, online games and other online distractions / addictions.
HOW :
• Firstly, the app generates a randomly ordered 15-character password, such as yJQV4RgcUexF82, it is not easily remembered, right?
• Secondly, you have to CHANGE the password by yourself, replace the current one with that password. To do this, go to your Account Settings page on Facebook or other services like Twitter, Tumblr, DotA, League Of Legends, ...
• Thirdly, set the TIMER, tell the app when to show you the password again. It should be the time you finish your study, your work
• Lastly, LOG OUT, and thats it! Now you are temporarily disconnected from your social networks and have no way to get back in. Lets focus on your work, enjoy real life and use your energy on things that matter
NOTICE:
• You should not write the password out, so this method is useless
• You should not let the browser remember your password, so ONE password can be used over and over again
• Dont worry when the app is accidentally DELETED, get it again from the App Store and everything will be restored!
• The password is presented on two lines, so you can choose your own geometric pattern to re-order the characters to create a DIFFERENT password
• There are options to PROTECT your passwords from other users on your devices, from Touch ID to a 4-digit passcode
WHY :
• I believe that people have their right to control themselves from the attraction of technologies. There are more and more people get sick of Internet addiction but hardly do anything to escape it
• Social media is an integral part of our lives, it helps overcoming geographic distances and sharing knowledge around the world. But some companies have been exploiting its entertaining features for their own profit, they commercialize our lives, enjoy to see us wasting our time, so Im here to help.
• Lastly, although we can easily connect with anyone around the world, we face difficulties while talking face-to-face with the important ones. Lets think about it, lets disconnect to stay connected in real life with real relationships
Latest reviews of Self-Control to Focus - Pro+ app for iPhone and iPad
It only locks Facebook and for it to do that you have to change you password to what they give you! Not even worth buying.
My bad habit was passively checking my Facebook... for a half hour at a time. Very effective to curb that. I use it in conjunction with stayfocusd for Chrome so I can enter my password into my main computer but still get blocked when I should be working without effecting my connectivity to Spotify.
