MindPass vs Rootkeep

Feed your brain. Then your feed. Block the apps you reach for on autopilot. Discover something worth telling a friend, then choose whether to scroll. Read for the fun of it, or answer a discovery’s question correctly to earn a five-minute app pass. TRY IT BEFORE YOU SET IT UP Start with an interactive sample. Then choose your apps, interests and an all-day or custom blocking schedule. TINY READS. REAL PLOT TWISTS. Lava lamps helping guard internet traffic. Why tattoos outlast the skin you shed. An angry customer’s complaint, preserved in clay for nearly 4,000 years. Explore 30 bundled discoveries across ten subjects, available offline. Some are simply good short reads, with no question required. Others offer a question about the idea—not a test of names and dates. Optional memory checks revisit selected discoveries; you can skip them. BREAK EARNED. YOUR CALL. Claim your earned pass within 15 minutes, keep reading, or decide you don't need to open the app after all. The five-minute timer starts when you activate the pass, not when you earn it. It keeps running even when you leave the unlocked app. When it ends, the app is blocked again while protection is scheduled and Screen Time access remains enabled. MAKE “JUST ONCE” WAIT A DAY Optional strict mode adds a 24-hour wait before you can switch it off and weaken your settings. You can still strengthen protection immediately. Strict mode is off by default, and Screen Time access can still be turned off in Settings. Your learning progress stays yours. CORE FREE. PRO IF YOU WANT MORE. App blocking, all focus routines and schedules, strict mode, standard discoveries and earned passes are free. Optional MindPass Pro subscriptions add up to 10 personalized learning paths per UTC calendar month, with six lessons per path. Trial and paid access share the monthly path allowance, with no rollover. Created paths remain readable after Pro ends. Prices and renewal terms are shown before purchase. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. GOOD TO KNOW Screen Time permission is required for app blocking. The interface and learning content are currently in English. Online learning features, including creating personalized paths, require an internet connection. Your curiosity gets a turn before your feed does. Try your first discovery.

Rootkeep is a personal CRM for your real life - the friends, family, mentors, and colleagues you actually care about. It tells you who needs you right now, helps you keep the promises you make, and remembers the details so you can show up like the thoughtful person you want to be. Inspired by the relationship philosophy of "Never Eat Alone", Rootkeep is built on one idea: strong relationships grow from small, consistent touches - not grand gestures. WHO NEEDS YOU RIGHT NOW Open the app and see exactly who to reach out to today. Rootkeep ranks the people you've gone quiet with, surfaces birthdays before you miss them, and turns your good intentions into one short, doable list. KEEP EVERY PROMISE Said "let's grab coffee soon" or "I'll send you that article"? Log it as a promise and Rootkeep holds you to it - front and center until you follow through. Checking one off feels as good as it should. LOG A CATCH-UP IN SECONDS A call, a coffee, a chance meeting - capture it in a few taps before you forget. Add who it was with, what you talked about, and what you promised. Follow-ups become reminders automatically. REMEMBER THE LITTLE THINGS Kids' names, favorite wine, the job change, the move to Lisbon. Keep notes on every person so your next conversation picks up right where the last one ended. NEVER MISS A BIRTHDAY Birthdays surface right in your daily list, exactly when it's time to reach out - no separate calendar to check. SET RELATIONSHIP GOALS Want to reconnect with old colleagues or invest in a mentorship? Link people to goals and let your daily nudges keep you moving. AI THAT HELPS, NEVER BLOCKS An optional AI advisor helps you think through your relationships - who to prioritize, how to reconnect after a long silence, what to say. Every feature works fully without it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account. No sign-up. No tracking. - Your data lives on your device and syncs through your own private iCloud - never on our servers, because we don't have any. - Works completely offline. FREE, NO CATCH No subscription, no paywall, no ads. Your network isn't a spreadsheet. It's the people who will show up for you - if you show up for them. Rootkeep helps you show up.
