Hush vs Crux

Take back control of your time. Hush is a free screen time app that helps you focus by blocking distracting apps — instantly. Pair it with our NFC-powered Hush token to lock social media and other time-wasting apps with a single tap. Tap again when you’re ready to return. No subscriptions. No passwords. No judgment. Just space to be present. Whether you’re working, creating, studying, or spending time with people you care about — Hush helps you stay present and in control. Why Hush? • One-tap Focus Mode (powered by your Hush token) • Instantly block social media and distractions • Stay mindful without being tracked • Built for creators, freelancers & digital minimalists • Stylish. Simple. Affordable. Private & Safe We use Apple's Screen Time API in order to monitor and block apps you use. Unlike most apps, we don't ask for your email, or creating an account. All your data never leaves your device.

Crux blocks the apps that steal your time — so you can actually focus. Set a session, pick the apps to block, and put your phone down. Crux uses Apple's Screen Time technology to enforce the block system-wide, even if you close the app. FOCUS SESSIONS Block any app for as long as you need. Crux holds the block until the session ends — no cheating. SCHEDULED SESSIONS Set recurring blocks in advance. Your protection runs automatically, even if you never open the app. NIGHT MODE Block apps during your sleep window. Wake up to how many times you reached for your phone, how long you were on it, and which apps kept you up. INSIGHTS See where your day actually went — hour by hour, and which apps took it. Crux marks the hours it protected for you, and tells you how today compares with your usual pace. HOME SCREEN WIDGET See what's coming without opening the app — your next session, tonight's sleep window, and a live countdown while a block is running. STREAKS & STATS See your focus streak and total time saved grow over time. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Crux reads your Screen Time data inside Apple's sandbox, and it never leaves your device. We never see which apps you use, or which ones you block. No gimmicks. No fake willpower tricks. Just a hard block on the apps that shouldn't have your attention.
