Take back your focus from the endless scroll. Reclaimly hands you back control of your day with two simple ways to silence social media, while always keeping calls and text messages available so you never miss what matters. TWO WAYS TO BLOCK • Scheduled Block — Set a timer from 15 minutes to 12 hours, pick the apps, and stay focused until time is up. Changed your mind? The "Reduce to 20 min" button caps any active block at 20 minutes, so you'll never feel trapped by a plan that was too ambitious. • Quick Toggle — One tap to turn on, another to turn off. Ideal for deep work sessions, study, family meals, or any moment you need immediate calm. Fully independent from Scheduled Block, so they can run together or separately. PROGRESSION THAT MOTIVATES YOU • Level Up — Earn XP for every minute blocked and advance through five visual stages, from a foggy mind clearing to a full forest sanctuary. • Milestone Badges — Unlock Clarity, Roots, Bloom, and Sanctuary at levels 10, 25, 50, and 100. Share them straight from the app. • Daily Streak — Keep your streak alive every day. A weekly auto-freeze covers you silently if you miss a day, with no drama or punishment. • Peak-Hour Bonus — Pick a personal high-usage window for +50% XP when you block during your toughest times. • Golden Sessions — Every now and then, a completed session earns 2× XP with a golden toast. An unpredictable reward that keeps the habit fresh. • Stats Dashboard — A 12-month XP chart, lifetime totals, current and best streaks, and your full badge collection. DESIGNED TO RESPECT YOUR LIFE • Calls and text messages always work, even with blocking active. • You choose exactly which apps to block with Apple's official picker. • Timers keep running even if you close the app. • Uses Apple Screen Time — private, secure, 100% on your device. MODERN, POLISHED INTERFACE • Liquid Glass design that takes advantage of iOS 26 and adapts elegantly on iOS 18. • Adaptive background that responds to blocking state. • Haptic feedback and fluid animations that make focusing feel good. • Adaptive icon with light, dark, and tinted variants. MADE FOR EVERYONE • Available in Spanish and English — switch languages instantly, no restart. • Clean, minimal interface. No accounts, no tracking. • No subscription. Focus, forever. Stop scrolling aimlessly. Start doing. Reclaim your time, one session at a time. Requires iOS 18.0 or later. Screen Time authorization is required to block apps.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Reclaimly at none against Pinning's 6. Reclaimly also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Pinning's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (5 vs 2). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
