Highlight vs Instead

Highlight is made for looking back without turning your life into charts or endless lists. It helps you revisit everyday moments by placing photos, notes, events, and health data on a simple personal timeline. If remembering things feels harder than it should, this is an easy place to begin, open Highlight and start putting your days back together! People don’t forget moments because they didn’t matter. Most of the time, they forget because those moments are scattered. Photos here, notes somewhere else, events that pass and are gone. Putting them side by side changes how easy it is to remember. Opening a past day is more than flipping through photos. You start to see what was happening around that moment, where you were, what you noted, how the day actually felt. Sometimes a small detail brings everything back. Other times, you notice patterns you hadn’t really thought about before. Your Life - Day by Day Instead of leaving photos, events, and notes scattered, Highlight places them next to each other for each day, week, or month. When days blend together, this makes it much easier to remember what actually happened and when. Weekly and Monthly Recaps Instead of long reports, Highlight creates simple summaries at the end of each week and month. They’re meant for quick reflection. A fast look back at busy weeks, trips, or periods when a lot was happening, without needing to write anything extra. Search Your Memories If you can’t remember exactly when something happened, that’s okay. You can search your notes naturally and find moments by asking simple questions. It saves time and avoids endless scrolling through old entries. Track What Matters - Your Way The daily rating is flexible. Some people use it to track mood. Others use it for productivity, habits, or progress on personal projects. There’s no right way to use it. Over time, those small inputs turn into a clear overview you can actually learn from. Your Memory Soundtrack If you connect your music, Highlight shows your most played song each month. It’s a small touch, but it often brings memories back faster than words do. Your Data, Your Control - Full Privacy Everything is stored in your own iCloud account. Highlight doesn’t see your information and never shares it. Your timeline stays personal, exactly as it should be. Highlight isn’t meant to take over your journal or treat life like a spreadsheet. It sits quietly in the background, helping you remember, reflect, and spot small details along the way. Over time, it grows into a simple record of how your life came together.

Instead is a menu of things you'd rather do than scroll. You never decide to lose an hour to your phone — it just happens. Instead fixes the moment right before that. When the urge to scroll hits, it hands you one small, real-life thing to do instead, sized to the time and energy you actually have. Think of it like a restaurant menu for your free minutes: • Starters (1–5 min) — easy wins: step outside, splash cold water, three slow breaths • Mains (10–30 min) — the good stuff: a real walk, ten pages of a book, make the call • Desserts — quick joy, not junk: one loud song, pet an animal, watch the sky Instead requires a paid subscription to unlock its content. New users get a 3-day free trial, after which the subscription auto-renews unless cancelled. WHY IT WORKS When the urge to scroll hits, you don't make good decisions. So you decide now, while you're calm. You build your own menu in about two minutes, and Instead serves it back to you exactly when you need it — no willpower required. HOW IT WORKS • Tell Instead your mood and how much time you have - it filters the menu to what fits this exact moment • Tap "Surprise me" and let it choose for you • Finish it, build a streak, and watch your screen-free habit grow • Add, edit, and personalize your own activities anytime • See your weekly stats and history INSTEAD IS FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO • Cut your screen time and stop doomscrolling • Break a phone or social-media habit - without an app blocker nagging you • Try a gentler digital detox or dopamine detox • Be more present, mindful, and intentional with your downtime • Find quick things to do instead of reaching for your phone Instead isn't another screen-time blocker or app limit that just tells you "no."
