Cloak helps you control access to the apps that matter, automatically. Create Modes that lock selected apps by place, schedule, or a manual switch. When you need access again, pause with one tap and let Cloak resume on your terms. HOW IT WORKS - Pick the apps you want controlled - Create a Mode (Work, Focus, Personal, Travel…) - Choose when it runs: trusted areas, restricted areas, schedule, or manual TWO LOCK STYLES - Basic Lock: apps stay visible but won’t open while a mode is active - Advanced Lock: uses system behavior to make selected apps unavailable while active (iOS may adjust Home Screen layout when apps return) TRUSTED AREAS, RESTRICTED AREAS & SCHEDULES - Pause inside trusted places and lock again when you leave - Lock inside restricted areas (for specific places you choose) - Run on a repeating schedule (weekdays + time window) PAUSE WHEN YOU NEED TO - Pause for 15 minutes - Pause until you leave (temporary location hold) - Pause until you resume manually LOCK SCREEN STATUS - See whether Cloak is active or paused - View a countdown when paused (Live Activity) and resume quickly NOTES & REQUIREMENTS - Cloak uses Apple Screen Time controls to apply locks. You’ll be asked to grant Screen Time permission during setup. - Location-based modes require location permission. iOS limits region monitoring (typically up to 20 areas per app). - App selection limits can apply depending on the lock style and Apple system behavior.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ScrollMine at 5.0 against Cloak's 4.8. Cloak's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Cloak sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ScrollMine sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ScrollMine holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cloak has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 27, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
