Waiki est l’application idéale pour celles et ceux qui veulent déconnecter des distractions numériques et rester concentré·e sur l’essentiel. Waiki fonctionne avec un boîtier physique : pose-le sur ton frigo, accroche-le à ton sac, ou garde-le à portée de main. En scannant le boîtier Waiki, tu actives le mode “focus” sur ton téléphone: toutes les applications que tu as choisies sont bloquées automatiquement. Besoin d’une pause ? Tu peux débloquer temporairement, ou mettre fin à ta session d’un simple scan. Plus besoin de lutter contre toi-même : Waiki introduit une barrière physique entre toi et la tentation, pour enfin passer à l’action ou savourer tes moments hors-ligne. Fonctionnalités clés : - Blocage physique par boîtier - Création de profils personnalisés (travail, repos, sport…) - Limitation des déblocages d'urgences (3 maximum) - Interface minimaliste et intuitive - Sécurité et confidentialité - Support et mises à jour réguliers Installation ultra-simple Design français, éco-responsable

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Waiki at none against Laps's 1. Waiki also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
