YOUR APPS STAY LOCKED. YOU EARN YOUR WAY IN. Two minutes of reading, walking, or watching educational long form content earn one minute inside your distracting apps. That's the whole deal, and Brio never bends it. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps and websites that distract you. Brio locks them and keeps them locked. When you want in, you earn it: READ — 40 classic books built in, from Marcus Aurelius to Jane Austen, stored on your device. Or import your own (PDF, EPUB, TXT). Minutes only count while pages actually turn. WATCH — Long-form video worth your attention. Start with Brio's curated shelves or paste any YouTube link. Time only counts while you're actually watching. Shorts are rejected outright. WALK — Tap Walk, pocket the phone, go outside. Your steps become minutes, counted by your iPhone's motion sensor, with a live card in the Dynamic Island. Then unlock: you earn 1 minute of screen time for every 2 minutes spent reading, walking, or watching. Use your earned time to unlock your apps. Change your mind after unlocking? Tap Lock Back In and every unused minute returns to your balance. No other blocker we've found does this. THE SHAPE OF A DAY A small daily minimum must be earned before your first unlock. At 4 a.m. everything resets and the day starts clean. Meet the minimum day after day and your streak grows. WHO IT'S FOR Students. Developers. Anyone with ADHD. Anyone fighting doomscrolling, brain rot, or a dopamine cycle they can't break on willpower alone. Anyone who tried to use their phone less and failed because there was nothing to do when it went dark.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MLiving at none against Brio's 5. MLiving also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). Brio's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price there is nothing between them.
