Nonstop is a Pomodoro study timer with a murder mystery inside. Every 25-minute focus session is one wagon on a night train, and every wagon you finish unlocks one clue. HOW IT WORKS - Pick a train. Each one is a case with six clues and three suspects. - Board a wagon: 25 minutes of focus, phone down. - The apps you choose (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat or any other) stay locked with Apple's Screen Time until the wagon arrives. - Arrive, and Iris, our detective, hands you the next clue. - Six wagons, one killer. BUILT FOR STUDENTS - Pomodoro sessions for homework, exams and finals - A plan built around when you study - Your session on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Hold at a signal for a short break, or disembark early anytime PRIVATE BY DESIGN iOS hands Nonstop a sealed token, not a list: we never learn which apps you lock. Subscription: Nonstop Pro unlocks every train, App lock and the Live Activity. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; it renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage it in your App Store account settings. Terms: https://troiva.com/terms Privacy: https://troiva.com/privacy

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Bakery at none against Nonstop's shown. Bakery also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.0). Nonstop's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
