Eclipse is a screen time control and app blocker that works without relying on your willpower. Grayscale scheduling and intentional app blocking make your phone a harder place to lose yourself in. Less sensory reward, less easy access, fewer wasted hours. Your phone is engineered to hold your attention. Every color, notification, and scroll is designed to bring you back. Eclipse works against that. Features: • Scheduled grayscale during your focus hours • App blocking to cut social media and distraction • Recurring focus blocks for work, study, or evenings • Break controls when you need flexibility • Weekly screen time insights to track your habits Eclipse uses Screen Time permissions and requires a short one-time setup. Free trial available. Premium features including grayscale schedules, app blocking, and weekly insights require an auto-renewing subscription. It's design, not discipline.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Eclipse at 100% against Brainrot's 18%. Eclipse also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Brainrot's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 11) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
