Buzzkill

Resolved an issue where monitoring could stop after several weeks of use, or briefly report batches of non-existent usage before resuming normal operation.

Resolved an issue where usage time could jump after updating selected apps, plus a few minor UI improvements.

Reworked the welcome screen for new users and made some minor design adjustments to the overall app design.

Added an extra warning message when you tap the lock icon to block apps. Also fixed an issue with app registration after updating. If your minutes stopped counting or messages stopped, add one app to your selection to resume buzzing.

There was an issue with collecting new minutes (and triggering notifications) when new updates were released. This has now been resolved by stabilizing the token ID across updates. If you experience any further issues, please reach out using the contact option in the footer links at the bottom of the app.

Bug fixed:  * After 7 days, older data was incorrectly added to today’s data instead of being deleted.

Improvements * Improved time accuracy after switching the number of selected apps. * Time- and day-specific messages are now more likely to be selected. * Buzzfree time no longer updates instantly when changed on the same day. * Added a fallback message for the Test button to prevent empty notifications during setup. * Minor animation tweaks.

What’s New * If Pause is enabled, buzzing now resumes automatically after midnight * All notification languages refreshed across the app (800+ variations per language) * Block screen text is now localized to your language and redesigned for clarity Improvements * Reminders now take priority over regular notifications, so they’re harder to miss * Improved midnight handling (more reliable behavior around 23:59 / day rollover) * Stability fixes to prevent background monitoring from stalling or freezing * Refined re-activation timing after buzzing (more consistent behavior around the 5–6 minute window) * Pop-outs are now complete and work in all directions, with additional translations included * Audio from other apps no longer gets fully interrupted by Buzzkill

Fixes * Improved monitoring behavior when switching between 1-minute and 5-minute intervals. * Fixed monitoring allocation issues when swapping large app selections. * Fixed edge cases where usage could be assigned to the wrong app after major selection changes. * Fixed incorrect usage stats after deleting and quickly reinstalling the app. * Fixed message delivery issues after reducing Buzz-free time and when multiple thresholds trigger simultaneously. * Fixed “Disable for Today” not resetting after midnight. * Fixed confetti not re-triggering after multiple toggles. * Fixed lag in the rotating arrows in the app selection card. * Prevented welcome animation drifting on older iPhone models.
