Read full description

Mivo helps you interrupt automatic scrolling by making each session intentional. Before you open a distracting app, choose why you are going in, set a time limit, and let Mivo guide you back out when the timer ends. Unlike harsh blockers, Mivo starts with a 3-day observation period. It learns your baseline from your own estimate and real usage, then builds a gentle plan that reduces screen time gradually. Features: • Intentional scroll sessions with clear timers • Add-time and emergency unlock flows that make you pause first • 3-day baseline observation before your plan starts • Weekly progress reports and simple trend insights • Reflection prompts after sessions • Screen Time app protection using Apple Family Controls Mivo is designed for people who want less mindless scrolling without turning their phone into a punishment system. It helps you notice patterns, protect your attention, and build a calmer relationship with distracting apps.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Milanote holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Milanote has 4.1K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Milanote's written reviews are positive against 89% of Mivo Scrolling's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Milanote ships an update weekly, Mivo Scrolling fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
