Most screen time apps fail in one of two ways.
They’re easy to ignore, or they lock you out so hard you get angry and give up. Cue helps you notice and step back on your own, long before anything locks.

It’s rare to find apps like Cue that actually want you to need them less! Just selecting apps during setup was a reality check. I hadn’t realized how many things on my phone were eating up my time. And getting interrupted by a video of myself telling me to stop scrolling? Hilarious, slightly humbling, and honestly exactly what I needed. It’s kept me accountable when “just five more minutes” would usually turn into an hour.Getting interrupted by a video of myself telling me to stop scrolling?

Love the calm, guilt-free approach! Such a positive vibe, and it helped me cut my screen time by 41% in just a few weeks.
The gradual friction really works. Having a video of myself pop up during a deep doomscroll instantly breaks the loop!
Amazing for deep focus. It keeps me locked into studying instead of grabbing my phone every two minutes.
