MindPass vs JustNow

Learn something before you scroll. MindPass blocks the apps you choose. To use one, read a short fact and answer one quick question. Then the app unlocks for 5 minutes. TRY IT FIRST Start with a quick sample. Then pick your apps, your interests, and when to block: all day or on a schedule. 30 SHORT FACTS, WORKS OFFLINE Lava lamps help protect internet traffic. Tattoos last longer than the skin you shed. An angry customer’s complaint was kept on a clay tablet for nearly 4,000 years. MindPass comes with 30 facts on ten subjects, and they work offline. Some facts are just for reading. Others have one question about the idea, not about names and dates. Optional quizzes bring back some facts later. You can skip them. HOW UNLOCKING WORKS When you open a blocked app, you see the MindPass block screen. On iOS 26.5 or later, tap “Answer a question” to go to MindPass. On earlier versions, close the app and open MindPass from your Home Screen. Answer correctly to earn an unlock. Use it within 15 minutes, keep reading, or choose not to open the app at all. Your 5 minutes start when you use the unlock, not when you earn it. The time keeps running even if you leave the app. When time is up, the app is blocked again while your blocking schedule is on and Screen Time access stays turned on. STRICT MODE (OPTIONAL) Strict mode makes you wait 24 hours before you can turn it off or loosen your settings. You can make blocking stricter right away. Strict mode is off by default. Screen Time access can still be turned off in Settings. FREE AND PRO App blocking, schedules, strict mode, standard facts and unlocks are free. Optional MindPass Pro subscriptions add up to 10 personalized topics per UTC calendar month, with six facts per topic. Trial and paid access share the monthly topic allowance, with no rollover. Created topics 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 topics, require an internet connection. Try your first fact.

Most time tools start with good intentions and a perfect plan. JustNow starts with what actually happened. Log what you did. Keep what you thought. See both in one timeline. Record activities in plain language and save thoughts as they come. An hour of reading, a conversation, an idea after a movie—keep the things that make up your day, without planning it all in advance. RECORD IN PLAIN LANGUAGE • Type or say “read for an hour” or “coffee with Sam.” • Turn activities into entries with start and end times, an emoji, and a category. • Record something you just finished, or specify a time to log it afterward. • Use on-device voice transcription instead of typing. • Let Apple Intelligence work out times and categories on supported devices. • JustNow remembers your category and emoji choices. KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS • Jot down an idea, a feeling, or a moment you want to remember. • Each thought has its own timestamp and appears in your timeline alongside your activities. • One thought each day is free. Add more per day or write about earlier days with JustNow Unlimited. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES • Follow your day in a simple timeline and review how you spent your time. • Fill in the gaps you want to remember, or start fresh from now. • Keep activities organized with automatic categories. Rename them, merge them, or add your own. MAKE RECORDING EFFORTLESS • Log frequent activities with one tap from a Home Screen widget. • Check your ongoing counter at a glance. • Export your records as JSON anytime. JUSTNOW UNLIMITED Go beyond today. Revisit past days, add more thoughts per day and to earlier days, explore long-term trends, search your history, create unlimited custom categories, sync across your devices, and import your exported JSON on another device. Choose the option that suits you: • Monthly subscription: US$2.99 per month. • Lifetime access: US$9.99 as a one-time purchase. No recurring fees. Both options unlock the same Unlimited features. Prices above are for the U.S. App Store; prices in other countries and regions may vary. Your local price is shown before purchase. The monthly subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account to create. No ads. No analytics. Voice transcription and intelligent processing happen on your device. Your records stay on your device, or in your own private iCloud database if you enable sync. Work, rest, distractions, and the thoughts in between. It all counts as life.
