About Limit Screen Time・Taskfulness
Taskfulness - stay present, and focused on the task at hand when using your phone. Built on scientific methods of making cognitive and behavioral changes.
Ever wondered why, when feeling anxious, irritated, mentally tired… you find yourself scrolling? The thing is, it’s kind of natural. Our brain is wired to fix difficult emotions with easy rewards. Social media leverages it, and now we spend hours on Instagram, without a clear reason.
The good news is that emotion management is a trainable skill. We built Taskfulness so you can train it and return to purpose-based phone usage. Try it, and save 1.5-2 hours a day of screen time (14k people average). Our favorite reviews go: “(Using Taskfulness feels) as if the missing critical thinking voice came back,” and “It gives me great self-discipline, but no control. As someone who hates to be controlled, I appreciate that.”
How It Works.
THE TASK - BASED PHONE USAGE:
Choose the apps that get you distracted: social media, messengers, or games. Next time before using say WhatsApp, Taskfulness will prompt you to state a reason: label your emotions, state a task, and set a timer to unlock.
For example:
- Emotions labeled: Curiosity, Responsibility
- Task: Reply to Katie on WhatsApp
- Time: 5 minutes
If your emotions and task align, the app gets unlocked for the time you set. If your emotions are negative, the task is not specific, or the time is insufficient, Taskfulness AI provides tips to help you refocus.
A nice detail: In the middle of a started task, you will be reminded to stay on track, so you don’t get distracted.
SCREEN TIME GOALS:
Now, via the Taskfulness home screen, you can set a Screen Time Goal.
Throughout the day, visit Taskfulness to see how well you follow your limits.
STATISTICS:
You can see all the tasks you unlocked during the day. This feature ensures you never have to wonder where your time went.
Nice to Know:
Each unlock takes only 20 seconds and saves our users, on average, 45 minutes a day from unnecessary activities.
Try Taskfulness for 7 days free.

What's New in the Latest Version 7.3.0
Last updated on Apr 7, 2024
Old Versions
Did you know you can cut your screen time by 32% without losing anything? Yep, you can!
Taskfulness members save 2 hours a day from unconscious scrolling. How? By simply stating why and for how long they need distracting apps before opening them.
For example, “Reply to Katherine on LinkedIn for 5 min” - we call it the “Task.” And when the time for the task is up, Taskfulness will automatically close the distracting apps. Welcome to the place where your phone belongs to you, not vice versa :)
