You already know how to block apps. You've done it. It worked. Then you stood there with your thumb out and nowhere to put it. Eddy fixes the part after the wall. Every app you block gets a destination you choose ahead of time, while you're calm. Tap Instagram out of habit and Eddy stops you with one button: Go to Chess. One tap and you're somewhere you actually wanted to be. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick what to block. Single apps or whole categories. 2. Give every blocked app a destination. Chess, Duolingo, Audible, Kindle, a run, a journal. One destination can cover many apps. 3. Hit the wall. Tap the button. Land somewhere better. WHAT MAKES EDDY DIFFERENT Nothing gets blocked into a void. Every blocked app has somewhere to go, or Eddy won't block it. Turning Eddy off takes a real sentence and 30 seconds. Autopilot can't do either. No streaks, no points, no daily check-ins. If Eddy works, you'll need it less. That's the point. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No servers. No tracking. Apple's Screen Time keeps your app choices private, even from Eddy. PLANS Start with 2 weeks free. Then choose monthly, yearly, or lifetime. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage them in Settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Eddy at freemium against Brainrot's subscription. Eddy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Brainrot's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Brainrot sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Eddy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Eddy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brainrot has 23K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Brainrot ships an update every 6 days, Eddy every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
