OpenIntent

OpenIntent turns the usual tap-to-open action into an automatic opening flow you personally arrange first. The app still opens normally, but the opening experience now starts with the steps you designed. How it works - Choose the apps you want to protect and put them into groups - Add "custom pre-unlock logic" and "Unlock and Open App" to a Shortcut - Add the Shortcut to your Home Screen - Open the app by tapping the Home Screen Shortcut; your custom logic runs first - In Shortcuts automation, set this rule: when the app closes, "Lock" Privacy and product truth - No collection, no tracking, fully local, no network access - App selection is handled by Apple Screen Time; OpenIntent does not know or understand your specific choices - No account required to get started

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: OpenIntent at every 2 weeks against Tipease's every 71 months. Tipease's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
