Recode vs Vault

Stop scrolling. Start living. Recode is the only screen time app that requires you to physically scan a QR code or barcode to unlock your blocked apps. No easy bypass. No cheating. Just real accountability. How it works: 1. Choose which apps to block and set your schedule. 2. Pick any QR code or barcode as your unlock key — a book on your shelf, a code at your desk, anything. 3. When you want to unblock, you have to physically go scan it. That friction is what makes Recode work. Why it's different: Other screen time apps let you bypass limits with a single tap. Recode doesn't. The physical requirement of scanning a code creates real resistance between you and your distracting apps. You can't cheat from the couch. Track your progress with Streaks: Build a daily streak by keeping your break time under 30 minutes. Watch your calendar fill with green as you take back control of your habits. Built from personal experience: I built Recode because I was losing myself in endless scrolling — distracted all day, drained at night, ashamed of how little I got done. Even in its demo version, the simple act of requiring a scan to unblock completely shifted my habits. Knowing I couldn't unblock until I got home kept me off my phone. Over time, I reclaimed focus, confidence, and the satisfaction of being productive. Take control of your time. Download Recode today.

Take back your time, rewire your brain and regain control of your screen time. Vault is a screen time app blocker that puts a real, physical barrier between you and your most distracting apps. No breathing exercises. No motivational quotes. No "are you sure?" prompts you tap through in half a second. Vault blocks the apps and websites that waste your time and only unlocks them when you physically scan a printed QR code. That friction is what rewires compulsive behavior. Built for people who have tried every screen time tool and failed. No accounts, sign-ups, or guilt-based nudges. SHARE YOUR UNLOCK CODE WITH SOMEONE TO STAY ACCOUNTABLE Share your QR code to a friend or family member. You'll need them to provide it for you to be able to unlock your vault. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS & WEBSITES Choose exactly which apps and websites to block. Social media, news, games, dating apps - anything that you conpulsively open without even thinking about. Lock them behind behind your QR code. No more tapping "Ignore Limit." • Block any app or website instantly • Choose what to block per focus mode • Designed for doomscrolling and time-wasting apps • Actually works. Not just another reminder you'll ignore QR CODE UNLOCK SYSTEM This is what makes Vault different. To unlock your blocked apps, you physically scan a printed QR code. Print it, stick it on your fridge, leave it at your desk, or put it across the room. You can't just tap your way past it. • Print your QR code and place it anywhere • Each code is unique to your device • Share or save codes for easy printing • Physical scanning interrupts autopilot behavior Other apps ask you to take a deep breath or wait 10 seconds. Vault makes you get up and walk to your code. CUSTOM VAULT MODES Create up to 10 custom modes for different parts of your life. A work mode that blocks social media. A sleep mode that locks everything after 10pm. Each mode has its own blocked apps, settings, and unique QR code. • Up to 10 custom Vault Modes • Unique QR code per mode for targeted unlocking • Master QR code that locks and unlocks all vaults • Separate blocked apps and websites per mode Put your work code at your desk. Study code in another room.. Sleep code outside your bedroom. STRICT MODE & EMERGENCY UNLOCKS Turn on Strict Mode for real discipline. No bypasses, no workarounds. You must scan your QR code. Period. For less rigid sessions, Emergency Unlocks give you limited overrides so you're never stuck in a genuine emergency. • Strict Mode removes all bypass options • Emergency Unlocks when Strict Mode is off • Limited unlocks to prevent overuse • Full control over how strict you want to be AUTOMATED SCHEDULES Schedule Vault sessions to activate automatically so your apps are blocked when they need to be. • Schedule recurring focus sessions • Automate blocking for work, sleep, or study • Combine with any Vault Mode FOCUS SESSION ANALYTICS & INSIGHTS See how your habits are changing.
