Read full description

Modal Soul is an experiment in understanding how days are spent and in making intent more explicit. Personally, I've been using it to explore the disconnect between where I feel my time is going, and where it actually goes. What it does: - Make your intention explicit at any time of day and allow you to see it even when your phone is locked. For example 'Work', or 'Relax', or 'Sleep'. - See a retrospective visual depiction of how you spent your day. What it does not do: - Nag you. There are no notifications or reminders. - Tell you what to do. It's up to you to decide your priorities. - Tell future you what to do. There's no scheduling. - Hold you accountable. It's up to you to ask yourself whether your actions are in line with your intention. - Anything at the granularity of a task. You are limited to one intention at a time and a maximum of 6 intentions (although you can edit them). Give it a try! If it helps you in any way, please leave a review or contact me.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Modal Soul at Free against atvTools's $0.99.

On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
