Your dopamine is being farmed. Your focus harvested. Your time depleted. Take back your life. Rewire is a screen time blocker built around one idea: your phone should serve your goals, not steal from them. Block the apps that drain you, and Rewire replaces them with a daily plan pointed at what you actually want — built with ADHD brains in mind, and made for anyone fighting for their focus. WHO REWIRE IS FOR You have ADHD (or suspect you do) and generic productivity apps have never fit how your brain works You want dopamine recovery — your baseline back, so normal life feels rewarding again You can focus — sometimes — but one "quick check" turns into an hour you don't remember spending Your screen time number embarrasses you and you're done pretending it doesn't You have real goals — a body, a business, a degree — losing daily to the scroll If any of those is you, Rewire does it all. And if it's the ADHD and focus part — that's exactly who we built this for. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS Pick what pulls you under — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, all of it — and shield it during your focus blocks. Shield up, scroll off. GET A PLAN BUILT FOR YOUR BRAIN A short quiz matches you to one of five evidence-based plans built on how attention, dopamine, and activation energy actually work — not neurotypical productivity advice with your name on it. Your goals become scheduled time blocks on a real calendar. BUILD STREAKS THAT STICK Show up, and your streak grows — unlocking new colors as it climbs. Watch your month fill in. Momentum you can see is momentum you keep. CHECK OFF GOALS, FEEL THE WIN Complete a block, check it off, feel the hit — animations, haptics, the works. Your brain gets its reward from your goals again, instead of someone's feed. LEARN HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS A built-in library on ADHD, dopamine, and focus — the interest-based nervous system, the activation barrier, the 14-day recalibration — drawn from leading clinicians and researchers. Understand the machine you're driving. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Rewire uses Apple's Screen Time API — monitoring and blocking run on your device. Your attention was the product. Not anymore. You don't need to be perfect. You need to be present. Take back your time. Take back your life. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

NoteBase's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
