Bloom vs Solace Screen time management

Most screen time apps fail because they’re easy to bypass. Bloom was created to fix that. Bloom revolutionizes your productivity by requiring you to scan an NFC keycard to your phone to access distracting apps. **How It Works** - Choose Your Distractions: Select the apps or websites you find most distracting. - Block Your Distractions: Tap your Bloom card to your phone to block those apps. - Live Distraction-Free: Stay productive with your card out of reach. When ready, just tap your Bloom card to your phone to unblock your apps. **Features** - Schedules: Set personalized schedules for your focus periods, allowing them to start and end automatically. - Breaks: Use your apps mindfully by setting limits on the frequency and duration of your breaks. - Strict Mode: Disable your ability to delete the Bloom app while in focus mode (optional). - Emergency Exits: Unblock all of your apps without your bloom card up to three times. **Why Bloom** - Spend less time on your phone and more time doing things that actually matter. - Improve your work habits by blocking out distractions. - Our physical solution is the ultimate solution for digital detox and time management. With Bloom’s NFC keycard, you can leave the “key” to your distractions behind, ensuring you stay focused and productive. Find your Bloom today and enjoy life beyond your phone!

Apps are built to hijack your attention. Solace fights back. Solace is a circuit-breaker for your digital habits. Pick the apps that steal your time, set a daily limit, and Solace pulls you out the moment you start doomscrolling. Not by tracking you, but by putting a shield between you and the feed until you choose to take a break. SEE WHO'S STEALING YOUR TIME Reports show where your day goes, which apps cost you the most, and how much you are winning back week by week. SET A LIMIT AND HOLD IT Choose your most distracting apps and a daily allowance. When it runs out, those apps are blocked until tomorrow. Need a moment? Take a short break, then Solace resumes the block automatically, even while the app is closed. FOCUS SESSIONS Start an instant session when you need to get something done, or schedule recurring sessions around your work, study, or family time. Run several at once. PROTECT YOUR SLEEP Bedtime mode limits social, entertainment, and games until morning so you get to bed on time and actually stay there. CHOOSE HOW FIRM TO BE From gentle nudges to a full lockdown. Fortress mode hands the unlock code to a trusted buddy, so loosening a limit means asking a real person. TAP A TAG TO LOCK IN Pair a physical NFC tag and tap your phone to it to block instantly — no schedule, no timer, no end time. Tap it again to unlock. Choose whether it shields everything or only your problem apps, then leave the tag in another room: getting back in means getting up. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Solace uses Apple's Screen Time framework. Your per-app usage is read inside a sandbox that Apple controls and never leaves your device. No ads, no data sales, no cross-app tracking. Read the full policy at solaceapp.co/privacy.
