Offtime
Offtime is an app that helps you limit your smartphone usage. It does so by keeping an eye on the apps you are using and then creating a report that helps you recognise the apps which are consuming most of your time. You can also use it to set time periods for which you don't want to be disturbed, say when you have a deadline to meet. When you are in 'busy mode', you will receive notifications only from the apps authorised by you and calls only from people who you deem important. Not just that, if you try to access some app that are not 'permitted' to disturb you, you will get a firm reminder on why you shouldn't be accessing it.In short, the app is a brilliant attempt at time-management. Give it a try, we suggest.
