Evolve makes the time you spend on your phone something you decide on, rather than something that happens to you. Pick the apps that pull you in. Evolve blocks them. When you want one, you hold a button, and one unbroken hold earns you one minute. The second minute costs more than the first, and the third costs more than that. A quick check stays cheap. An hour never sneaks up on you. There is no way to talk your way past it, because there is nothing to talk to. No streaks, no points, no badges. Just a price, paid in the moment, in full view. WHAT YOU SEE Where your day actually went, hour by hour, and which apps took it. A block screen that names the app you reached for and counts how many times you have reached for it today. Your real screen time, drawn by Apple on your device. PRIVACY Evolve collects nothing. There is no account and no server. The apps you block, the time you hold, and how you spend your day never leave your phone. Evolve is built for people who already want to change, and it does not pretend to be unbeatable. If you are determined to get around it, you will. It is here for the moments when you are not. Every minute should feel earned.

Privault is a private, offline-first password manager and secure vault. Your passwords, cards, bank accounts, crypto keys and notes stay encrypted on your device — no account, no tracking, no internet required. Most password managers make every family member sign up for their own account just to share passwords. Privault doesn't.

Nobody else needs to install anything, create an account, or pay for a seat. - Tag every entry with who it belongs to - Filter your vault by family member or by type — logins, cards, banks, crypto - See who owns what at a glance - One vault, one owner, zero onboarding for everyone else Is It Safe?
