Propellon

Propellon is the companion app for the Propellon Beacon — a Bluetooth device that automatically blocks distracting apps when you sit down to work. This app requires the Propellon Beacon hardware to function. The beacon is sold separately at getpropellon.com. HOW IT WORKS Place your Propellon Beacon on your desk. When your iPhone detects the beacon signal, Propellon applies Screen Time shields to your selected apps, blocking them at the OS level. Walk away from your desk, and they unlock automatically. No manual switching. No willpower required. WHAT YOU CAN CONFIGURE · Choose which apps to block per focus session · Create multiple groups (Work, Study, Deep Focus) · Set schedules — only block during specific days and hours · Adjust detection sensitivity with two-point zone calibration · Set lock and unlock delay (1–10 seconds) PRIVACY Propellon has no servers, no accounts, and no analytics. Everything stays on your device. Bluetooth and location data are processed locally and never transmitted. Location permission (Always On) is required because Apple routes iBeacon detection through CoreLocation. No GPS coordinates are read or stored. Terms of Service: https://getpropellon.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://getpropellon.com/privacy REQUIREMENTS · Propellon Beacon (required — sold at getpropellon.com) · iPhone running iOS 17 or later · Screen Time permission · Location permission set to Always

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Dome at every 5 days against Propellon's every 6 weeks. Dome also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
