Norte is a habit tracker and app blocker for iPhone. It helps you build daily habits and routines, block the apps and websites that eat your time, and see how much of your day you got back. Go to the gym more, read every night, drink more water or sleep on time, while Norte keeps social media, short videos and games locked when you need to focus. WHAT DOES NORTE DO? • Habit tracker: check off daily habits, build streaks and see your progress across the whole year • App and website blocker: block apps and sites on a schedule or with daily time limits, using Apple's Screen Time • Focus reports: see your screen time every week, how often you tried to open blocked apps and how much time you saved WHO IS NORTE FOR? • People building better habits and a steady daily routine • People with ADHD, or anyone who gets distracted easily and needs structure that doesn't depend on willpower • Anyone stuck in doomscrolling who wants less screen time • Students and remote workers who need real focus time, without feeds pulling them away HOW DOES THE HABIT TRACKER WORK? Add the habits you want to build, like exercise, reading, meditation, water or sleep. Check them off each day and watch your streak grow. Set reminders for the time that works for you, add a widget to your home screen, and look back at a year view of every day you showed up. Missed a day? Just pick it up again tomorrow. HOW DOES THE APP BLOCKER WORK? Pick the apps and websites that distract you the most, like Instagram, TikTok or YouTube. Then choose how Norte blocks them: • Schedules: block social media during work, study time or before bed • Daily limits: allow 30 minutes of an app, then it locks for the rest of the day • Hard Mode: once a block starts, you can't turn it off early Blocking runs on Apple's Screen Time, so it keeps working even when Norte is closed. IS NORTE GOOD FOR ADHD? Norte was designed with ADHD brains in mind. Blocks start on their own, so there's nothing to remember to switch on. Reminders nudge you at the right moment, and checking in takes a few taps a day. Norte isn't a medical app and doesn't replace treatment. It gives you outside structure so focus takes less effort. CAN NORTE HELP ME STOP DOOMSCROLLING? Yes. Set a daily limit or a schedule for the apps where you lose the most time, turn on Hard Mode, and the endless scroll is no longer one tap away. Your weekly report shows how many times you reached for your phone and how many hours you got back. HOW DO I KNOW IT'S WORKING? • Weekly focus reports with your screen time breakdown and usage patterns • Blocked opens and time saved, week by week • Streaks and a full year of habit progress in one view IS MY DATA PRIVATE? Yes. You don't need an account. Your habits stay on your iPhone and Norte doesn't sell your data. Screen Time data is handled by Apple and never leaves your device. You can back up and move everything to a new iPhone. HOW DO I START? 1. Add the habits you want to build 2. Pick the apps and websites to block 3. Set a schedule or a daily limit, then go live your day FREE AND NORTE PRO Norte is free to start with 3 habits and 1 focus rule.

A interface de uso é bem legal, muito fácil de usar e aprender. Não tem segredo **Developer response:** Valeu demais, Murillo! Ficamos muito felizes que o Norte virou parte da sua rotina. A ideia é exatamente essa: juntar num app só o tracker de hábitos e o bloqueio de apps, pra quem quer parar de perder tempo no TikTok e no Instagram e conseguir focar no que importa. No modo Foco você bloqueia os apps que mais te distraem enquanto estuda, trabalha ou descansa, e no dashboard dá pra ver o impacto disso no seu dia. E que bom que achou fácil de usar, a gente se esforça pra manter tudo simples. Qualquer sugestão, é só chamar. Bons hábitos por aí! ### 5/5 — Aplicativo funcional e prático *2026-09-28* Adorei o aplicativo pois ele me ajuda a manter os hábitos do meu dia e controlar menos tempo na tela do celular. Recomendo para quem precisa de um direcionamento **Developer response:** Fico muito feliz com o review Tainá! toda semana estamos lançando uma nova versão de acordo com os feedbacks que vocês (nossos usuários) nos dão. ### 4/5 — Promissor *2026-09-26* Acho que carece de funções que já poderiam estar presentes e algumas coisas que poderiam ser diferentes. No geral, é um aplicativo super promissor e tem um bom funcionamento no plano gratuito. Entretanto, o preço da versão vitalícia paga — até o momento que eu escrevo essa análise, não condiz com a qualidade atual do aplicativo. Isso não quer dizer que o app seja ruim, mas, até o momento, está caro demais para o que entrega. **Developer response:** Oi! Obrigado demais pela avaliação sincera, esse tipo de feedback é o que mais nos ajuda a decidir o que vem a seguir no Norte. Que bom que o plano gratuito está funcionando bem pra você no dia a dia com seus hábitos. Sobre o vitalício, entendo o ponto: ele foi pensado pra quem quer pagar uma vez só e ter acesso a tudo que o app ainda vai ganhar, e ainda tem bastante coisa chegando, tanto em hábitos quanto no Foco (bloqueio de apps). Se preferir testar antes de se comprometer, o plano mensal é uma forma mais leve de conhecer os recursos pagos. Fiquei curioso: quais funções você sentiu falta e o que mudaria? Me conta direto via Instagram @thenorte.app, leio tudo pessoalmente. As próximas atualizações vão sair muito do que usuários como você pedem, e se fizer sentido depois, adoraria que você desse uma nova olhada no app. Abraço, Matheus, criador do Norte ### 5/5 — Changed my life literally *2026-08-13* This is the first focus app that truly changed my daily routine. I used to lose hours to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube without even noticing. Now, I plan my day around focused blocks and the app enforces them. The social media blocker is strict but fair: once a session starts, there’s no “just checking one message” loophole. What sets it apart is how it combines tracking and blocking in one place. I can see exactly how much time I’m saving, which apps steal my attention the most, and how my focus improves week by week. Really amazing! **Developer response:** thank you for you feedback, we are so happy to read it!!. Thats our motivation to launch new features and maintain this app up and running. ### 5/5 — Me ajudou muito *2026-07-30* Estava em um espiral ruim, o app está me ajudando a me recuperar e sair do vício da tela. **Developer response:** Comentários como esse nos fazem trabalhar todos os dias para investir no Norte! Continue na luta contra o doomscrolling e vício de tela ### 5/5 — Sútil e eficiente *2026-07-21* Um App sútil e eficiente para construção de novos hábitos, o design e simplicidade são elegantes e agradáveis, e a assinatura é um ótimo custo benefício. Aqui vai alguns pontos de melhoria para futuras atualizações: 1º - Configura a barra de tarefas na pagina inicial para aparecer somente no dia em que está marcado na semana, ver todas as minhas atividades da semana tudo junto acaba me confundindo as vezes. 2º - Para atividade de estudo como exemplo, é interessante adicionar um cronômetro, saber o tempo que estou disponibilizando em cada atividade é importante. - Venho humildemente trazer esses pontos para serem analisados, acreditem, vim aqui e dedicar um tempo a escrever cada detalhe sobre o que se pode melhorar, ninguém quer fazer, na maioria dos casos as pessoas só apagam o App ou vem criticar. Eu gostei muito do App, tem um potencial enorme para futuras possibilidades e integrações, desde já eu agradeço pela atenção. **Developer response:** Que feedback TOP!!! Arthur, muito obrigado por separar seu tempo para dar um feedback tão completo e construtivo! Ficamos realmente felizes em saber que você está gostando do app e reconhecemos totalmente os pontos que você levantou. Já adicionamos suas sugestões ao nosso backlog: 1. Configurar a barra de tarefas para aparecer apenas nos dias marcados da semana 2. Adicionar um cronômetro para acompanhar o tempo em cada atividade de estudo E tem mais uma coisa que você vai gostar: - Estamos lançando a versão 2.0.0 em breve com uma nova feature de "Foco" que tem como objetivo devolver aquilo que é mais precioso — SEU TEMPO! Com essa feature você vai conseguir bloquear apps como Instagram e TikTok (por tempo de uso ou por horário do dia), acompanhar o tempo de tela, e muito mais. Caso queira conversar com a gente, é só nos chamar no Instagram @thenorte.app. Obrigado pela confiança e compartilhe o Norte com outras pessoas que podem se beneficiar! ### 5/5 — Criação de hábitos reais *2026-07-05* App muito bom, está me ajudando constantemente a criar hábitos e me tornar mais produtivo. **Developer response:** Ficamos contentes com seu feedback! Espero que continue crescendo na sua vida e nos seus habitos ### 5/5 — App incrível👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 *2026-07-05* Adorei o app, com ele consigo ter mais constância em meus hábitos!!!!! **Developer response:** comentários como esse nos fazem trabalhar todos os dias para melhorar o app! continue aproveitando o app! ### 5/5 — Abaixei hoje e ja gostei *2026-06-30* Deus abençoe, projeto incrivel, se possivel continui deixando de graça **Developer response:** Ficamos felizes com sua mensagem!! que Deus te abençoe ### 5/5 — Já estou há 2 semanas usando *2026-06-02* Minha experiência em 2 semanas tem sido bem legais. O aplicativo é fácil de usar, e começa a ficar viciante trackear os hábitos. Agora que meus gráficos estão preenchidos e consigo comparar que hábitos estou caindo, quais estou indo bem! Grande sacada! Gostando demais do app **Developer response:** Pra cima!!! 2 semanas são 14 dias de muita disciplina. Mais um pouco você vai atingir os 66x e garantir que isso se torne um hábito.
