Micro Habit: Small daily wins. Most habit apps ask you to do more. Micro Habit helps you keep going, even on busy days. Create one simple habit and focus only on today. If you don't have time, the app can suggest a lighter version based on the minutes you have available. Small progress still counts. No complicated dashboards. No endless reminders. No pressure to be perfect. Just one small step at a time. Features • Build habits with a simple, clean interface • AI-powered suggestion for busy days • Choose how many minutes you have available • Track consistency without guilt or pressure • See simple insights about your recent progress • Designed to reduce friction, not add it • No accounts required Whether you have 2 minutes or 20, there's always a small step you can take today. Because habits aren't built by being perfect. They're built by showing up, however you can.

YourScroll

YourScroll blocks the apps you lose hours to, and challenges you to reflect to get them back. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps you want to restrict and a daily limit. When that time is up, they lock. The next time you go to use them, YourScroll gives you a prompt to think about instead. Once you have taken a second to write an answer, you can use your apps freely, or decide you would actually rather get on with your day. There are hundreds of carefully curated prompts across ten categories, including Stoicism, Personal Identity, Creative Writing, Social Media, Relationships and Gratitude. Pick the categories you want to see and ignore the rest. Every entry stays in your own personal scroll, a record of all the times you took a second to use your brain. EXTRA FEATURES - Focus sessions. Need to lock in? Block your chosen apps for as long as you need, at any point in the day. - Bedtime. Schedule your apps to switch off at night and protect your sleep. - Banked time. Write while you still have screen time left and bank up to 20 minutes for later. - Strict Lock. For when you do not trust yourself later. With Strict Lock on, weakening any setting means reproducing a 141 word passage exactly. Any mistakes and you start again. PRIVACY - No account, no sign-up, nothing to log into. - Everything you write stays on your phone, because there is nowhere else for it to go. - YourScroll cannot even see which apps you picked. iOS keeps that to itself. PRICING - Free. - No in-app purchases. - No subscription. - No ads.
