Hacking Timer vs NudgeBud

Time Hack marks time at 30-minute or 1-hour intervals within your selected hours and days. Choose repeating iPhone alarms or notifications that run on Apple Watch. Repeating iPhone alarms (iOS 26 or later) • AlarmKit stores the selected times and weekdays as a schedule that repeats every week. • Choose a 30-minute or 1-hour interval and one alert timing: at the scheduled time or a chosen number of minutes before it. • Select weekdays, weekends, or every day and set your operating hours. • Overnight windows and 24-hour operation are supported. • Alert times also stay inside the operating window. • The next alarm displays the nearest future time from the registered weekly schedule. • Stop silences the current alarm; Off also removes future alarms. • Alarm authorization is required on iPhone. These audible alarms can sound during Focus and Silent Mode. Apple Watch notifications • Configure times, days, and vibration patterns directly on Watch. • Choose one alert timing and a 30-minute or 1-hour interval. • Schedules that fit the system's notification budget repeat automatically. • Larger schedules reserve the nearest notifications first and refill when the app opens or receives a background refresh. This mode needs opportunities to refill. • Switching to iPhone alarms waits for Watch notifications to be removed. Changes remain pending while communication is unavailable. • Presentation of iPhone alarms on Watch depends on the connection, OS, and system settings. Requirements The iPhone app requires iOS 17 or later. iPhone alarms require iOS 26 or later. Standalone Watch notifications require watchOS 11.4 or later. No account or subscription is required. Settings stay on your devices and synchronize between iPhone and Watch. No developer data collection or advertising tracking.

I enjoy using social media and chatting with friends... I just don't enjoy getting brainwashed into scrolling for hours. iOS limits were too easy to bypass and screen time apps treated me like a kid. All I wanted was a way to know how much time I was spending scrolling as I was spending it, so I could break out of the loop myself. That's exactly what NudgeBud does. Pick an app. Set a daily limit. Choose how often you want a reminder. NudgeBud runs quietly in the background and nudges you at every interval with how much of your daily limit is remaining, so you always know where you stand and can make the active choice to put your phone down. For moments of weakness, there's Shield Nudges: a brief app block at each reminder that creates a little friction to make you stop and think before you keep scrolling. I built NudgeBud for myself, but nothing would make me happier than knowing it helped someone else take back a little control. Give it a shot!
