Earn your screen time. Build your health. Thrive turns the apps that drain your day into a reward for taking care of yourself. Pick the apps you want blocked — Instagram, TikTok, X, news, games, anything. They stay locked until you've completed the health tasks you set: drinking water, moving, taking your medications, eating. The phone earns its place in your day. Free to download, with an optional Pro upgrade for unlimited blocks and full customization. FOUR ACTIVITIES, ONE STREAK • Hydration — log glasses or sync from Apple Health • Movement — minutes or steps, your call • Medications & supplements — schedule recurring doses with custom colors • Nutrition — three tracking styles from "tap to confirm" to full meal logging with barcode scans THE PHONE EARNS ITS PLACE Choose the apps you want blocked. The moment you hit your daily goals, the shields lift and the apps unlock — automatically, no manual switch. Miss a goal and the apps stay locked. FOCUS SESSIONS Lock in for deep work or deep rest with dedicated focus blocks, separate from your daily goals. GET EMERGENCY SKIPS PER WEEK Real life happens. Use a skip when you need to. Every skip is journalled so you can review your patterns and notice when you're slipping. APPLE WATCH APP INCLUDED Log a glass of water, mark a medication taken, check off a meal — straight from your wrist. Your ring on the watch matches the ring on the phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No tracking. No server. Your health data never leaves your phone or your private iCloud. Friends share their streaks via iCloud, but no health data is ever shared with anyone. VACATION MODE Headed out of town? Pause every block for the dates you pick. The streak doesn't break, the phone doesn't fight back. FRIENDS + STREAKS Share your streak with a friend or two. Keep each other honest. Private by design. FREE • 1 app block, any activity type • Preset times, meals & water container sizes • Up to 2 medications THRIVE PRO • Unlimited blocks • Custom times, meals & water container sizes • Unlimited medications • Focus Sessions • Weekly $9.99 with 7 days free • Monthly $19.99 • Yearly $99.99 (best value) • Lifetime $299.99 (one-time, no renewals) Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ysdwysd. at none against Thrive's 7. ysdwysd. also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Thrive's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
