Habit trackers love making you feel bad. Nexter doesn't. Most apps turn your life into a streak you can't afford to break. Miss one day and bam - 214 days gone, big red zero, "you failed". We think that's nonsense. Life gets in the way. Nexter is built for real people who skip days and just keep going - no drama. Track anything you want more (or less) of - reading, running, water, meditation, screen time, whatever. Log it by time, count or distance - or just check the day off. One tap, day done. Watch your progress add up over weeks and months instead of beating yourself up over one missed day. Weekly goals, where you pick the bar: give any habit a goal like "3 days a week". Hit it week after week and a little week counter counts along. And no, it's not one of those streaks - miss a week and it freezes instead of dying. Weeks, not days - one lazy Tuesday costs you nothing. Don't feel like doing it alone? Start a challenge. One shared goal for you and your people - like 3 checks a week - and everyone has to hit it. You see who's showing up, there's a chat for cheering (and excuses), and nobody gets ranked or shamed. Up to 10 people, invited with a simple link. And your progress follows you around: a statistics tab with your personal bests and a trend you can scrub - back through a whole year -, widgets for your home screen, a stopwatch that keeps counting while the app is closed, and a full export of your data whenever you want it. Why people like it: - No daily streaks, no guilt, no manipulative notifications - Track habits by time, count or distance - or just check them off - Weekly goals where you set the bar - 3 days a week is a win - Challenges with friends - one shared goal, no leaderboard - Statistics, home-screen widgets and a built-in stopwatch - Reminders that nudge before your usual time, never after - Clean, fast and genuinely nice to look at - Works right away - no account needed to start Built by two people, not a growth team. We made Nexter because every other tracker made us feel bad. This one doesn't. Track what matters, ignore the rest, and don't sweat the days you miss. Your habits, your pace.
LastScroll Screen Time Control
Read full descriptionHide full description
Last Scroll is for the moment a quick check turns into scroll debt. It does not try to judge all screen time. It focuses on the part you regret: the minutes after you cross your own line. Pick the apps that pull you in. Create Scroll Traps for the moments where you usually lose control — bed rot, lunch holes, work escapes, morning checks, or any custom window. Set your line. Last Scroll tracks what happens after it. If warnings are too easy to ignore, Hard Mode can hold the boundary by restricting selected traps after you cross the line. WHY LAST SCROLL EXISTS A quick check is not the problem. The problem is when five minutes becomes forty. The problem is when “just Reddit” becomes the hour you wanted back. The problem is the part after your line. Last Scroll gives that part a name: Scroll Debt. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Choose apps and categories with Apple’s Screen Time picker • Create Scroll Traps for different danger windows • Set your personal line, such as 10, 15, or 20 minutes • Get warned when selected usage crosses your line • See today’s Scroll Debt • Review your 30-day pattern in Report • Use Hard Mode to restrict selected traps after crossing your line • Create multiple traps with Last Scroll Pro SCROLL TRAPS Bed Rot For late-night scrolling before sleep. Lunch Hole For the quick break that becomes the afternoon tax. Morning Trap For the first scroll after waking up, while the day is still yours. Work Escape For the focus escape hatch during work time. Custom Trap Draw your own line. LAST SCROLL PRO Upgrade to Last Scroll Pro to unlock: • Hard Mode • Multiple Scroll Traps • Longer Scroll Debt history • More ways to hold your line when warnings are too easy to ignore PRIVATE BY DESIGN Last Scroll uses Apple’s Screen Time APIs so you can choose apps and categories through the system picker. Last Scroll does not require an account. Your selected app names are not sent to analytics. IMPORTANT Last Scroll is a digital wellbeing tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnose addiction, or measure sleep. Scroll Debt values are based on your selected apps, trap windows, thresholds, and recorded activity.
