Intention
This app introduces a "friction" barrier to prevent compulsive app usage. Instead of simple timers, it presents cognitive challenges that must be solved before accessing blocked applications, helping users regain focus and control over their screen time.
- Cognitive challenges (mental math, memory, word scramble, Stroop test)
- Customizable app blocking
- Set unlock durations
- Track screen time and progress
- System-level blocking via Apple APIs
- Privacy-focused design

You don't have a screen time problem. You have a friction problem. Every time you pick up your phone, the path to Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, or YouTube is one tap away. Intention adds the one thing those apps are designed to remove: a reason to pause. When you open a blocked app, you're not shown a timer or a motivational quote. You're shown a challenge — and you can't get in until you solve it. THE METHOD: COGNITIVE FRICTION Willpower fails. Timers get dismissed. Breathing exercises fade into muscle memory. What actually interrupts a compulsive scroll is cognitive load — a moment where your brain has to switch modes and engage. Intention uses proven challenge types from cognitive psychology to create that moment every single time. FOUR KINDS OF BRAIN CHALLENGES Mix and match to keep your brain on its toes: • Mental Math — arithmetic across addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and multi-step problems • Memory Grid — watch a pattern flash, then reproduce it • Word Scramble — unscramble letters into real words • Stroop Test — the classic color/word conflict test used in focus research Pick one. Pick all four. Turn difficulty up when it gets easy. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps and categories that steal your attention — social, news, games, anything 2. Open a blocked app — a shield appears with a challenge 3. Solve to unlock for a duration you set (5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours — your call) 4. When the timer ends, the shield returns automatically Apple's Screen Time APIs power the blocking, so it's system-level and reliable. No VPN tricks. No jailbreak. No way to swipe around it. WHY PEOPLE STICK WITH INTENTION • It isn't a guilt trip — every unlock is a small win • It's honest about when you actually need the app and when you don't • Your brain gets sharper as a side effect • Either you get smarter by completing a challenge or don't scroll at all, win-win TRACK WHAT MATTERS A clean dashboard shows: • Today's screen time on addictive apps • Weekly and monthly trends • Daily streak and total XP earned from completed challenges • Impact of shielding addictive apps (this one hits) WHO IT'S FOR • People who quit Instagram for a week and were back in three days • Anyone who opens their phone to check one thing and surfaces twenty minutes later • Students, parents, creators, and professionals who need their attention back • Anyone who's tried every screen time app and still gets pulled in BUILT FOR YOUR PRIVACY Intention uses Apple's FamilyControls and ManagedSettings frameworks. Your app selections never leave your device — Apple's system handles them with privacy-preserving tokens that even we can't read. No tracking. No selling data. No ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Intention at 5.0 against Document File Reader Pro's 3.6. Intention also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%). Document File Reader Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
