Block distracting apps and websites with DropIt. To get back into your apps, you physically scan your DropIt tag. That distance helps you lower your screen time and build a healthier relationship with your phone. HOW IT WORKS • Create a profile with the apps and websites you want to block • Start a session in the app • Put your tag away, out of reach • Want your apps back? Scan your tag to end the block BLOCK ON A SCHEDULE Give a profile set days and hours and it starts and ends on its own. Work hours, evenings or weekends each get their own slot in the week. Your tag still ends a block early. MAKE IT YOURS • Block all except selected: only the apps you choose stay open • Type any website to block, or keep just a few open • Coffee break: one 15 minute pause per session • Drop reminder: a nudge to start again after a session • Strict mode: DropIt cannot be deleted during a block FOR EMERGENCIES Three emergency pick ups end a block without your tag. They reset every four weeks. PRIVATE BY DESIGN DropIt uses Apple's Screen Time. Apple never shows DropIt which apps you pick, and DropIt collects no analytics. Requires a DropIt tag, available at joindropit.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DropIt at none against iTranslate Keyboard's 6. iTranslate Keyboard's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
