Time Wallet keeps your distractions closed until you decide to take a break. Choose the app that pulls you in too easily. Time Wallet protects it by default using Apple Screen Time tools. When you want access, start a 5, 15 or 30 minute break. During the break, your protected selection is available. When the time ends, Time Wallet locks it again automatically. FREE • Protect one individual app • Take unlimited 5, 15 or 30 minute breaks • End a break early when you are done • Automatic re-protection after every break • Essential weekly statistics • No account required TIME WALLET PRO • Protect multiple apps • Protect categories and websites when supported by Screen Time • Choose custom break durations • Add an optional daily limit • Add optional cooldown between breaks • Use Strict Mode for stronger rules • See advanced history and statistics Time Wallet is designed for conscious access, not more time inside the app. A day with no break can still be a useful day if your protection stayed in place.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Focus Bubble at none against Time Wallet's 3. Time Wallet's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
