With Synctrain you can securely synchronize files with other devices that have Syncthing installed. You can choose to synchronize full folders, or choose specific files. With Synctrain you can also stream audio and video files from other devices. When you synchronize files, all changes, including deleting files, also happen on your other devices. Do not use Synctrain for back-up purposes, and always keep a back-up of your data. You decide with which devices you share which files. This also means the app makers cannot help you access or recover any lost files. This app is powered by Syncthing. This app is however not associated with or endorsed by Syncthing nor its developers. Please do not expect support from the Syncthing developers. Instead, contact the maker of this app if you have questions.
Wallz
Read full descriptionHide full description
Wallz is an app blocker with one simple rule: flush dopamine by staring at a wall before you get your apps back. Pick the distracting apps and sites you want behind the wall. When you want to unlock them, Wallz uses the phone's camera to verify that you are pointed at a real wall. Once the wall is checked in, you get 10 seconds to place your phone out of reach. Then wall time begins: stare at the wall. If you pick up the phone during the session, the timer resets. Why a wall? Because a blank, ordinary surface gives your attention nowhere else to go. Wallz adds friction, and makes wall time a dopamine-flushing ritual the counteract the hundreds of algorithms pointed at your dopamine receptors. Features: - App blocking - Unlock sessions for distracting apps - Motion reset if the phone is picked up - Alarm when wall time is complete Wallz Pro subscription is required for app use after onboarding.
