You get into bed. One quick check. An hour later you are still scrolling and sleep is gone. You have tried the blockers and the screen time limits. They hold for a few days, then you tap through them and feel worse than before. AlignMate does not block anything. It runs experiments. Tell it where the scroll takes over: in bed after lights out, first thing in the morning, after one quick check, on the couch. It designs one small 7-day experiment for that exact moment. Phone in a drawer before lights out. Charger across the room. Phone face down on the dresser so one check needs getting up. Then, each day, one hold of a button: did it happen. That is the whole routine. Around day three it reads your data back to you: what it sees, and how to make the experiment easier if it is not landing. At the end of the 7 days you write one line about what you learned, and the next experiment is designed from it. Miss a night? That is not a failed streak. That is data, and the next experiment uses it. What you get β’ A 7-day experiment built for your scroll moment, not a generic rule β’ One hold a day to log it, no checklists, no setup β’ A day-three read of your own data, in plain words β’ A record of every experiment you ran and what each one taught you β’ No blockers, no points, no levels, no guilt Built for people who want to stop doomscrolling at night, stop scrolling in bed, cut the first-thing-in-the-morning scroll, and get their evenings back from their phone. A digital detox that starts with one small test instead of a rule you will break by Thursday. Stop guessing. Start testing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AlignMate at none against AirMQTT's 2. AlignMate also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). AirMQTT's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
