though I do like this app. this app, along with onesec really illustrate what's annoying about modern tech development. why pay monthly for something whose feature set rarely changes? something like this ideally should be $10 once.
There are a couple other similar popular screen time apps, such as Opal [1] and one sec [2]. They both also operate on a similar freemium / IAP model. For comparison, ClearSpace falls in the middle price-wise: - Opal: $20/mo, $100/yr, $300–400/lifetime (4.7/5 stars with 6.1k ratings) - one sec: $4/mo, $15/yr, $40/lifetime (4.9/5 stars with 6.2k ratings) - ClearSpace: $7/mo, $45/yr, (n/a?)/lifetime (4.7/5 stars with 4…
1. more flexible: if you want to change the type of friction for unlocking your apps we can enable that. instead of a 15 second breath to unlock app, you could activate "walk 100 steps to unlock" (as measured by healthkit). or "leave your house in the morning to unlock" (as measured by your location.)

(clearspace "teammates" are the first example of this)
