Do you want to quit being distracted by your phone? Liberate will help you unshackle and start producing more than you consume. Pick the apps and websites that steal your time, then choose how strict to be: • Block: everything stays blocked until the end time you set • Schedule: blocks start and stop by themselves on the days and hours you choose • Limit: give apps an amount of time, or a number of opens, per hour, day or week, or any mix of the three. Use one up and they're blocked until it resets Blocked means blocked. You can't open those apps or visit those sites until the block ends or the limit resets. For real emergencies there's one Emergency Unblock every 7 days; otherwise, no take-backs ~(‾▿‾)~ No subscription, no ads, no account and no data collected.

About

You apply. Ipplied keeps track. Every application, every follow-up and every interview in one place — on your phone, and nowhere else. Free, no account, no ads and no AI. WHAT NEEDS YOU TODAY, AT THE TOP • One card per application: status, pay and the next dated action. • Filters that stack — status, contract, tag, "due this week" — and show how many applications each one would leave. • The kanban board: eight columns, one per status. Drag a card to move it forward. A JOB POST COMES IN THROUGH ITS LINK • Copy the link of a job ad, or share it from your browser: Ipplied reads the page and fills in the role, the company and the location. • Nothing blocks you: keep typing while it loads, and what you typed is never overwritten. • The company logo finds itself. A SCORE, AND ITS REASONS • Say once what you are looking for: target salary, contract types, remote work, cities. • Every offer gets a score, with the line-by-line breakdown behind it. • Compare an offer with your current job — salary, benefits, growth — and see what you gain or lose. REMINDERS AT THE RIGHT MOMENT • The day before a deadline, never the same morning. • A Monday summary of the week's actions. • A nudge when an application goes quiet: time to follow up. • Message templates to follow up or say thank you without starting from scratch, and your interviews added to your calendar in one tap. WHAT YOUR SEARCH ACTUALLY PRODUCED • The funnel shows where your applications stall: sent, followed up, HR interview, technical interview, offer. • Closed applications move to the archive after 30 days without activity. Your list stays readable months in, and nothing is deleted. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE • Applications, notes, contacts and attachments are stored on the device. No account, no server, no silent sync. • No AI: what the app infers — an interview time, a salary in a sentence — comes from rules that run on the device. • The three network features (logo, reading a job post, company lookup) turn off with a single switch. • JSON export to back up your applications and CSV export for your spreadsheet. MADE FOR YOUR COUNTRY • 13 languages and 24 countries: contracts, benefits and cities are the ones you know — permanent, fixed-term, contractor, internship. • Enter a salary in any currency. The app never converts it. • Dark mode and 18 accent colors. No subscription, no in-app purchase, no limited version: Ipplied is free, all of it.
