HelpMeFocus user reviews :

Great app, but on MIUi 10 and 11 it does not work. – Unfortunately, I can simply kill this app by holding down on the apps icon and going into App Info and force stopping Help Me Focus. The Settings app was added to the block profile. There is no way to add “App Info” as a blocked app. Superstrict is enabled. I have used this with great success on other devices. Must be a MIUI issue

Breaks slightly with timezone changes Overall pretty solid, but every time I change timezones the block is active at the wrong times, even if what’s displayed in the UI is correct. I haven’t found a workaround other than creating brand new rule sets every time

It does what I need which are limiting apps at certain durations, and scheduling when to use apps. Super strict mode is my personal favourite for improvement, and I highly recommend it if you want to perform deep work.
