    hey all,

    i've been using this for a while, a screen-time & app management / parental controls app for phones. it's very helpful with reducing pmo for mobile devices.

    basically the app temporarily removes app icons from view & access on a time schedule, so e.g. 11pm to 7am I can't access internet on my phone--or whatever peak tempting hours are in re pmo.

    they recently launched the premium version ($5 a month) that gives you app-by-app control. the regular version does every installed app (excluding apps like Notes, Maps, etc.).

    http://ourpact.com/

    even though the settings are controlled from the parent app/machine/browser (which I assume is yourself, for nofap purposes) i find this really helpful.

    case in point: if i lie in bed with my phone after hours, then i'm locked out of internet-browsing apps by the ourpact app, i'm immediately reminded and encouraged to not masturbate. it's also a hassle to reschedule as you'd have to do it from another machine.

    this could be a useful tool for those of us struggling with pmo on mobile.

    and of course this is great for any of you with kids. highly recommended.

    that's weird! it's a little complicated on iOS (especially the premium version) but it works. Android sounds like it's a little simpler. Feel free to PM me though and I'd be happy to help troubleshoot! :)

    I have mobile security and blocked all the inappropriate sites on my phone. Seems to be helping.

    App block on Android is also a good one.

    RescueTime is another great app.
    It is available for PC and Android.
    Dunno about IoS or Macs.

    The free version does a great job of tracking your activity online.
