Hourally is the simple way to get your hours back. Pick your hourly limit: 1, 3, 5, 10 or 12 minutes. Pick the apps that pull you away. Your blocks reset every hour, right on the hour. When time's up, a classic quote pulls you back. No daily budget to blow by lunch. Just a few minutes, every hour, so you can check in and get back to your life. A TIME FOR EACH APP Give every app its own time. Your apps, your minutes, and it all resets every hour. Apps you don't change keep your usual time. Included with Hourally Plus. WHY WE MADE HOURALLY The apps we love, like social media, news and entertainment, aren't the problem. It's how much time they quietly take, while the things that matter most keep waiting: family, relationships, the workout plan you've been wanting to start, the business idea you've had on the back burner, the garage you've been meaning to clean. We live so much on our phones. It's time to get our hours back! So we made Hourally simple, with no thinking involved. No graphs, no extras. Just a set amount of time for your apps that resets every hour, so you can get back to what's important. A NOTE FROM THE CREATOR I've always found quotes motivating. With so many things fighting for our attention, a simple quote can reel us back in. A few words can give you strength, peace, a hard lesson, or real understanding. That's why every time an app's time is up, Hourally shows you one. CLOSED TILL MIDNIGHT Done for the day? One tap locks every app you chose until midnight. No undo, no excuses. At 12:00 AM your apps open back up with your regular hourly minutes. Included with Hourally Plus. SCHEDULE Put your apps on a schedule. Pick the hours Hourally is off, the same every day or different by day, and your hourly limits run the rest of the time. Included with Hourally Plus. HOUR KEY Sometimes an app really has to open. Once an hour, use your Hour Key on a locked app's screen to open it for 5 more minutes. With Hourally Plus, you get 2 keys every hour. HOURALLY PLUS Give every app its own time, set your way. Plus also lets you pick up to 20 apps, put them on a schedule and use 2 Hour Keys every hour, and adds Closed Till Midnight. Hourally is free for 2 apps. Choose yearly, with a 3-day free trial, or weekly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm your purchase, or when the free trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hourally at 5.0 against AI Playlist Generator's 1.0. Hourally also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). AI Playlist Generator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
