Silo is a Pomodoro-style focus timer built for Apple Watch and iPhone. It uses subtle wrist haptics to guide focus and break sessions without loud alerts, distracting notifications, or constant phone checking. Perfect for students, people with ADHD, deep-work professionals, and anyone who wants a calmer way to stay on track. Silo is especially powerful on Apple Watch: a tap on your wrist tells you when to focus, when to take a break, and when to return. It’s ideal for libraries, offices, meetings, and anywhere silence matters. “To add something to your daily life without intrusion or complication—that’s what the Apple Watch is about, and this app does a great job of that.” — Apple WatchCast Podcast FEATURES • Apple Watch-first focus timer • Pomodoro-style focus and break sessions • Gentle haptic alerts on your wrist • Adjustable timer intervals on Apple Watch and iPhone • Pause and resume anytime • Quiet, distraction-free design • Great for silent environments • Works great with Airplane Mode SILO PRO • Apple Watch Complications • Plan your day with tasks and reminders • Assign tasks to focus sessions • Mark tasks complete • Custom focus presets • Track daily and weekly focus stats • iCloud sync for tasks and stats Support: support@silofocus.com Terms: silofocus.com/terms Privacy: silofocus.com/privacy

Every blocker has the same flaw: a cancel button. When the urge hits, you tap "end session" and you're scrolling again. Bunkr removes the button. LOCKED STAYS LOCKED Pick your apps. Set a duration. That's it — no cancel, no "just five minutes," no talking your way out. The lock ends when the timer ends. EARN YOUR WAY OUT Want out early? Do something real. Push-ups. A picture of the open sky. Make your bed. Find an item and photograph it. Bunkr's AI verifies your proof in seconds — and it refuses fakes. No proof, no unlock. SET IT AND FORGET IT Recurring schedules lock your worst hours automatically — mornings, study blocks, wind-down. A Live Activity on your lock screen shows the countdown. A strict, limited override window exists for real emergencies. It's an exit, not a loophole. HONEST NUMBERS Every completed lock is credited only if you actually held it. Your activity tab shows hours earned, not hours claimed. Streak shields forgive one slip — the stats never lie for you. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account. No sign-up. Apple's Screen Time framework seals your app data on your device — Bunkr cannot see what you use. Mission photos are verified once and discarded, never stored. No tracking, no ads, ever. BUNKR PRO SUBSCRIPTION Bunkr Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: $29.99 per year with a 3 day free trial, or $5.99 per week. App blocking, AI verified missions and hard lock sessions require an active subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in App Store settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Bunkr at Free against Silo's $1.99. Bunkr also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Silo's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On ads there is nothing between them.
