THE ARC DIFFERENCE Arc doesn't just block apps - it redirects your attention with a powerful three-part system: - Session Limits: Automatic breaks when a session has reached the set limit. No more unintentional doomscroll sessions. Daily limits are not helpful when the problem is getting sucked into the scroll hole and not realizing it. That's why we built session limits! - Smart Nudges: Gentle reminders about your to-dos while you scroll - Integrated To-Do Lists: Track what really matters, all in one place - Advanced Analytics: Track every session with precision. See exactly when you close apps yourself (exits) vs. when the timer saves you (lockouts). Discover your most addicting apps through unblock tracking, identify your best and worst self-control patterns, and get AI-powered recommendations tailored to YOUR behavior. No more guessing where to improve, the data shows you exactly which apps need stricter limits, where you're building great habits, and actionable steps to reduce your screen time based on real patterns, not generic advice or behavior patterns. HOW IT WORKS Select your distracting apps (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, etc.) Add your daily tasks and goals Get Nudged with your to-do tasks when you're mindlessly scrolling Session Limits create automatic breaks after extended sessions Watch scrolling turn into productivity BUILT FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE Set your bedtime to switch from productivity Nudges to Sleep Reminders. Arc adapts to help you make better use of your time all day long. PERFECT FOR: People who unconsciously doomscroll and want to stop Professionals who lose focus to social media Students procrastinating on assignments Anyone who wants to build healthy daily habits Scroll Goblins People tired of feeling guilty after doomscrolling START SEEING RESULTS Reclaim hours of your day Complete the tasks you've been avoiding Track scrolling habits through intelligent insights Build habits that stick Rebuild a healthy relationship with social media Feel accomplished, not guilty Download Arc and turn scrolling into productivity. Your goals are waiting. Terms of Use (EULA): https://arcapp.io/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://arcapp.io/privacy-policy

About

Conquer

Your phone is stealing your life. Conquer takes it back. Every time you reach for Instagram, TikTok, or Snapchat — Conquer stops you. Forces you to face yourself. Then lets you decide. This isn't another screen time tracker. It's a discipline tool built around one question: are you living like the person you said you wanted to become? HOW IT WORKS Block the apps that waste your time. Every time you try to open them, Conquer intercepts and asks you two honest questions about your goals. An AI then generates a reflection personalized to your answers and your life. Then you choose — scroll anyway, or get back to what matters. One conscious choice at a time. WHY CONQUER IS DIFFERENT Every other blocker just shows you a wall. Conquer shows you a mirror. Instead of a generic "stay focused" message, you see a reflection that knows your goal, your deadline, why it matters to you, and how hard you worked today. It hits differently. FEATURES — Block any app until you complete a daily reflection — AI-generated reflections personalized to your goals and answers — Daily open limits — set exactly how many times you allow yourself in — Streak tracking and resistance rate — see your discipline build over time — Time reclaimed — watch the hours you've taken back grow — Emergency access for genuine urgent situations — Full session control — you decide how long each unlock lasts BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SERIOUS Not for people who want to feel productive. For people who want to actually become who they said they would be. 3-day free trial. No payment due now. Terms of Use: https://theconquerapp.com/terms.html
