User Feedback

• “This app is really good. When you need to study or be productive, tap the focus button—then you can ignore distracting apps. You can even choose which apps to block for a limited time, and edit the block duration. Whenever I get distracted while doing something productive, I usually waste 1+ hours—this app helped me stop scrolling unnecessarily. Big thanks to the team!”
• “It works like a charm. I used Forest for a long time, but after many updates it became buggy and ruined. I deleted Forest and searched for a new focus app. I noticed Regain on the Play Store but it looked too good to be free, so I skipped it at first. I’m glad I finally installed it—screen time limiting works very well. Kudos to the developers!”
• “In my opinion, it’s the best app I’ve tried. Other distraction-blocking apps had weaknesses and eventually stopped working after a while. Regain is different. Even though it’s free, it includes excellent tools like YouTube Study Mode, which is amazing. Thanks to the founder and developers. Also looking for Regain browser extensions.”

Who It’s For

Regain is a great fit for students preparing for exams, remote workers who deal with distractions, and anyone who feels like their phone habits are out of control. It tends to work best when you’re studying, working, or avoiding late-night scrolling. If you want a structured attention system—not just a basic timer—this app is a solid choice.
