Noiseless

Noiseless is a distraction blocker and focus timer built for people who mean it. Free to download and try — one optional one-time purchase unlocks everything. Never a subscription. When you start a session, Noiseless activates Mute Mode — blocking access to the apps that steal your attention. No willpower required. The apps are locked until your session ends. Then it shows you what you got back: the attention you reclaimed, and the finite time you're spending it against. HOW IT WORKS • Tap Mute to start a focus session • Mute Mode activates instantly, blocking distracting apps • A hold-to-unmute gesture prevents impulsive endings • Your session runs with a live timer on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island SEE THE FOCUS YOU RECLAIM — SIGNAL • Your reclaimed attention as Today, this Week, and the whole Year • Set an optional intention — Work, Read, Create, or Rest — and see how your focus splits • Session targets: aim for 25, 50, or 90 minutes and watch a gentle ring fill • A calm weekly mirror that reflects on your week without ever grading it SEE THE TIME YOU'RE SPENDING — TIME • Your life in weeks — a quiet grid of every week of a life, bright for the ones behind you • What's left, right now — how much of today, this week, this month, and this year remains • Goals — count the days since you quit something, or down to a deadline • Link a goal to your focus time to make progress real ("47h of 100h") START FROM ANYWHERE • "Hey Siri, Mute" and Shortcuts actions • Home Screen widgets — a live session timer and a countdown to any goal • Control Center toggle for one-flick Mute / Unmute FEATURES • Full app blocking via Apple Screen Time integration • Live Activities on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Apple Watch app with real-time session sync and live complications • Watch complications for sessions, a life clock, and goals • Activity grid and calendar view of your focus history • Quiet Hours — a soft, optional nudge to mute at the times you choose • Share a clean card of a goal or your life in weeks • Optional iCloud Sync — keep your goals and history across your devices, privately (off by default) • Data export and import (JSON) • Dark and light mode with a minimal, monospaced design BUILT FOR PRIVACY No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Noiseless works entirely offline by default, and your data stays yours. Turn on iCloud Sync (off by default) and your goals and focus history sync privately across your own devices through your iCloud — we never see it. FREE TO TRY. PAY ONCE. Your first week is fully unlimited. After that, the free tier keeps the complete ritual — one honest 25-minute session a day, one goal, and today's Signal. A single one-time purchase unlocks everything else: unlimited sessions, the full Signal and Reflection views, iCloud sync, and muting all your devices at once. No subscriptions. No ads. No upsells. Noiseless uses Apple's Screen Time framework to block apps during focus sessions. You choose which apps to block, and the block is automatically removed when your session ends.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Noiseless at none against NoMo's 3. Noiseless also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
