Hi team,
I use your launcher to restrict access to my banking app. However, i ran into a situation today when the timer ran out and app got blocked but i needed to pay.
Can we introduce an override feature?
Thanks
As a user, I would love there to be a feature, where the longer you use your phone, the worse it gets. For example, the phone's refresh rate reduce the longer it's used. Ideally to the extent where the phones refresh rate becomes almost unusable if it's used for too long.
Why do I ask for this feature?
I love using your launcher to help create friction with my phone usage. However, there are days where I use my phone for ages. Specifically, Ill do this to what YouTube on Netflix.
I think the launcher is really great, but I would love to see additional features, like the one I described being put in to help people like me stay intentional with our usage.
I suggest adding a feature that apps in your block list as a default to be unblocked ad hoc for a time based period.
Example, use caifs. I use your launcher to create friction when accessing to my banking apps so I dont impulsively spend. However, there are times when Ive got a planned purchase such as Ill plan to get dinner with friends. I'd like it not to be as tedious at these times to access my apps.
Alternatively, if there can be gps based blocking of apps that would be awesome. I could just set it so it blocks apps at the stores I spend at the most
Hi, I am a free user who plans to trial the paid. Can i suggest a couple of things:
that when you select uninstall on an app, instead of being forced back to the home screen, as a user i'd like to stay in the app drawer.
As a user id like the ability to choose if all the folders i create appear at the top of the app drawer (current only option) or the bottom.
As a user id like the gesture functions to be slightly different. This has been implemented pretty well in O launcher, and Id love a similar feel in minimalist (because I love the pauses, and app control options you have):
- swipe left (option to open an app you choose)
- swipe right (option to open a different app you choose).
- swipe up (open the app drawer)
- when you are searching for an app in the app drawer, it automatically opens when you type enough letters that it cant be another app.
Pls let me know if any/all of the above are actually available in paid.
I promise I have friends but I can't seem to feel connected with these friends, like I feel almost as though I can't pay enough attention to take interest in their interests. And that's really stressing me out, because I just want to feel a strong sense of connection.
On top of that, I feel like when I try and speak to people and new people. I zone out an awful lot, and I feel really bad about that. I panic, and I don't know what to say to people. And I almost feel like I need to follow a script to talk to people I feel like I've had moments in the past where I don't need to feel as though conversation is scripted.
Does my experience resonate with you you? What was it?
Hi, reddit. I've (28M) been struggling for a couple of months now. With depressive symptoms and behaviors, I have really been struggling at work to get things done. I've been struggling with being motivated and happy. I've been taking brief periods off from work, and previously, I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and that's what I've been attributing this recent period of stress to.
However, if I were to self-reflect and consider what's really going on, is that I have been struggling quite significantly with getting work done. Throughout my whole life, I've always struggled to understand things. Additionally, I feel like I've also struggled significantly with being able to hold and maintain a conversation or draw networks of facts together to be involved in a conversation. I feel like I'm inherently quite an uninteresting person because of my challenging memory. Additionally, I don't really know myself, who I am, or what my hobbies are but I digress. I really do focus on work or on home life. I also very frequently find that my memory fails me when I am confessing with people like I cannot remember who is in a movie or relevant stories.I find focusing on other things to be quite difficult. It made me reflect on my history.
My question: Do the experiences I describe below just sound like someone who has a history of anxiety and depression that just rears its head? Am I just stupid and not able to function? Should I be pursuing a different course of inquiry that isnt depression anxiety, if so what makes you say that. I feel like these periods of mental blankness I describe below are crippling. Or is there potentially a different diagnosis that I should be looking at. Sorry for the long post.
Schooling:
This isnt the first time I struggled to engage in work. I realized during school that I actually struggled to engage. I remember very early on as a very young child (like age 6 or 7), I didn't hand in a class presentation. Not sure why, i think it just takes me out. Then, in year 9, there was a semester that I had more absences than actual time in schoo.In my Year 11 and 12, I struggled quite frequently to hand in assignments on time or hand them in at all. And, similarly in university, I found it really tough to hand in assignments and failed a lot. I always attributed that to anxiety and stress. But I realize that I needed to somehow get through that, because it wasn't sustainable.
Work/Professional:
Moving on from schooling, at work, I'll typically have good periods where I'm getting work done and taking lots of notes. Then, I will have periods, lasting four or five months, where I struggle to go into work. I struggle to get work done, and I find it really anxiety-inducing. During these periods of intense anxiety, I struggle to even talk to people, which affects my social relations. Even when I'm not in those periods, I've always been told that I'm quite a talker, and I'm a fair bit slower when it comes to work. I work in the cybersecurity field, so it can be difficult subject matter for me to get my head around. But generally, I feel like I'm struggling, and I feel like a bit of an impostor. Even things like writing emails and reports, which should be pretty simple and straightforward, I tend to find quite challenging. I think I almost get overwhelmed when I even open up a document to start writing them, so I'm trying to figure out what's going on.
