ScreenZen vs Halo

Multiple strategies to reduce your screentime 1. Delay before opening your app: A bit of time before choosing if you need to open your distracting app. You can have the wait time increase each time you open your app. 2. Interrupt your scrolling: Check your distracting apps for short periods of time so you don't get sucked in. 3. Set an app goal and optionally block when you reach your limit. 4. Configurable for different days of the week and time by app. 5. Messages like "Is this important" before opening your app. 6. See your screen time for only your distracting apps. Don't worry about Google Maps bloating up your time. 7. Strict block your apps: Either for time ranges, after a certain number of opens or ScreenTime. 8. Locks on Settings to prevent you from changing your settings when you want to open an app. 9. Breathing and other activities to encourage you not to need to open the app while waiting for it to unlock. 10. Streaks to encourage you not to exceed your limits or override your settings.

Halo helps you stay focused by turning places into focus zones. When you're in a zone like your desk, library, or bedroom, distracting apps are automatically limited. No willpower required. Just set it and forget it. HOW IT WORKS • FOCUS ZONES: Draw zones on a map (home, office, café, campus) and set when they’re active. Focus mode turns on when you’re there. • APP BLOCKING: Block social media, video, games, and other distracting apps—only in your zones. Uses Apple Screen Time, so you stay in control. • SCREEN TIME GOALS: Set daily limits and see how you’re doing. Your Halo level reflects your progress. • STREAKS: Build streaks with daily check-ins. Stay consistent and grow your streak over time. STUDY • DEEP WORK • SLEEP Use presets for Study, Deep Work, or Sleep—or create custom zones with your own rules.
