tapón
Read full descriptionHide full description
tapón is an app and a physical device we created to help people break free from digital distractions. We often found ourselves opening social media and games while working, reading, or spending time with our loved ones. And after doomscrolling through these apps, we usually couldn't even remember what we had just seen. We initially created tapón for ourselves, then decided to launch it so everyone could benefit from it. Inspired by existing alternatives, which, by the way, are often very expensive, we wanted to create a DIY version that we could share with our family and friends. After many people told us that tapón could be useful to them, we decided to launch it for everyone and make the entire process of building your own physical device freely available. How does it work? Once your tapón is ready and the app is set up, you simply scan the tapón with your phone. The apps you have selected will then be locked. Even if you try to open them, you won't be able to bypass the lock screen until you consciously decide to scan the tapón again. For example, if you're going to bed and don't want to spend time scrolling through TikTok before deciding that it's finally time to sleep, you can keep a tapón on the fridge and scan it before going to bed. Once you're in bed, going back to the kitchen to scan it again is inconvenient, so accessing TikTok becomes a conscious choice, and a very inconvenient one.

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