You reach for your phone for one thing. Twenty minutes later, you're still scrolling. Squishy makes screen-time control feel less like punishment and more like caring for something. Its mood follows your choices: take a screen-free break and Squishy perks up; pause your blocks to scroll and Squishy wilts. Instead of fighting another timer, you're keeping a tiny companion happy. Block distracting apps and websites, schedule protected time for work, mornings, and bedtime, and heal Squishy in Play when you need to get back on track. SHARE ONE SQUISHY Connect with a partner and care for the same Squishy together. Both people's heals, challenges, and breaks from blocking affect the same happiness score. Daily contributions show how each of you helped—or hurt—your shared Squishy. SYNC WITH CHROME Use the same Squishy on iPhone, iPad, and Chrome. Supported activity syncs to one mascot, and eligible Squishy Pro access also unlocks Premium in the Chrome extension. WHAT YOU GET - App and website blocking powered by Apple's Screen Time framework - Quick heals: Breathe, Stretch, Lie down, Step outside, Eye rest, and Drink water - Challenges: Phones down, Wander, Colour hunt, and Scavenger hunt - Team games for up to four people with one code. If everyone finishes, the reward doubles - Schedules for bedtime, mornings, work, and study - A happiness meter and mascot that reacts to your choices - Optional partner sharing with daily individual contributions - Mindful temporary unblocks when you genuinely need an app - Streaks, statistics, and a 7-day mascot heatmap - Premium mascot skins - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Chrome sync and website blocking through the Squishy extension PRIVATE BY DESIGN Squishy uses Apple's Screen Time framework to monitor and block only the apps and websites you choose. Squishy cannot see what you do inside them. Hunt photos never leave your phone. If you enable account sync, partner sharing, or Team games, the account and Squishy activity needed to provide those features is securely sent to Squishy's service. Squishy does not sell your personal information. SUBSCRIPTION All features require a subscription, with a free trial to start. Friends can join a Team game for free. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Brain MAX at none against Squishy's 3. Squishy's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
