“Just 5 more minutes” turns into another 30. You already know the scroll is costing you. What you need isn’t more guilt, or some gamified way to “earn” your apps back - you need a system that’s simple to use and that works WITH your self-control. OneHour is built for that: 1) Set a daily screen time budget. 2) Start a session when you’re actually ready to use your apps. - This is where you become INTENTIONAL about how much time you want to scroll. 3) When time’s up, the apps are shielded again. No tricks, no workarounds - just a clear rule that makes you feel the weight of every minute. Plus - Live session countdown on Dynamic Island and the lock screen. - Modes and controls that let you match the rigidity to your life (tighter when you need it, a little room when you don’t). - Metrics and history so you can see whether you’re actually improving. OneHour doesn’t want your attention. It wants to give it back to you. Full access to all features requires an active subscription. Free to download and try.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SwipeReader at none against one hour's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SwipeReader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and one hour sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
