Amba vs TrackDown

Your conscious pause before the algorithm pulls you in. Have you tried to cut your screen time, only to fall right back into the same apps again? No hard blocks. No frustrating lockouts. Amba solves the problem at its root: not by banning social media, but by helping you choose when you want to use it. How Amba Works With the Amba Tag, a small keychain, your social media apps only unlock when you tap the tag intentionally. No tag = no social apps. This creates a short pause and breaks the automatic "I opened Instagram without even thinking." Fewer impulses. More awareness. One simple motion that puts you back in control every single time. Why Amba Works Studies show that even tiny hurdles can dramatically reduce impulsive app usage. Amba uses exactly that - paired with a physical, everyday ritual. You interrupt the habit loop right at the moment your brain normally goes on autopilot. - No "reset" tricks - No complicated rules Just a clear moment to breathe before you slip into the app. Perfect for you if you… - scroll "just for a second" and lose 20 minutes - end up on TikTok for hours in the evening - want to use social media intentionally, not endlessly - want more focus, calmness, and mental clarity - want to work more productively and reduce impulsive checking More focus. Fewer dopamine Traps. Amba creates space for real concentration. And if you finish earlier than planned, you can end your session right away - flexible, with zero penalties. Built for iPhone. Easy to set up. - Connect your NFC tag in seconds - Select the apps you want to protect - Done - from now on, you decide the moment Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

TrackDown is time tracking for project-based work. Use it with the tools you already rely on for notes, planning, or project management. Instead of moving your workflow into a large all-in-one system, TrackDown gives you a focused place to track time cleanly and export it back where your project already lives. With TrackDown you can: - track time per project with an instant-start timer - add notes to each timer entry - view duration as `hh:mm:ss`, decimal hours, and amount - set project hourly rates or mark projects as `Non-billable` - override billing values per timer when needed - export a single timer, a full day, or an entire project - archive exported timers and reopen them later if needed - manage active and archived projects separately - enable optional iCloud sync for data and settings - control running timers on iPhone with Live Activity TrackDown currently supports integrations with Bear, Notion, and Obsidian, and is designed to grow with additional integrations over time. Bear export: TrackDown writes a structured Markdown table with date, duration, hourly rate, amount, and notes back into the linked Bear note. Notion export: TrackDown creates or updates a native table directly on the linked Notion page. TrackDown supports iPhone, iPad, and Mac via Mac Catalyst. The app stays intentionally focused: track time, keep reports clean, and stay close to your existing workflow.
