Regain vs Konvo

Can't study without checking your phone every five minutes? You're not the only one. Regain is the focus app built purely for students - block the apps that distract you, start a focus timer, and finally get through a study session without Instagram or YouTube pulling you away. Whether you're preparing for board exams, college entrance tests, or professional certifications, Regain helps you put in the hours. FOCUS TIMER Set a timer, lock in, and study. Choose your duration and tag each session by subject (Physics, Organic Chemistry, or whatever you're on). POMODORO TIMER (PRO) Stay focused and get more done with the classic Pomodoro technique. Focus, recharge, repeat - customize your focus and break durations, with support for both short and long breaks. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS When you start a focus session, Regain blocks the apps you choose - like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, and Twitter/X - until your timer ends. Powered by Apple's Screen Time, so Regain never sees which apps you block or accesses your screen time data. STRICT MODE (PRO) For students who want an extra layer of self-commitment. When you turn on Strict Mode, your session runs for the full duration you selected - helping you build the habit of finishing what you start. Enable or disable it anytime from Settings. FOCUS GUARD (PRO) An opt-in reminder that helps you follow through when willpower dips during a focus session. You stay in control - toggle Focus Guard on or off anytime from Settings. FOCUS STATS Watch your focus improve day over day, with a per-subject breakdown so you know exactly which subjects got your attention. FOCUS MUSIC (PRO) Science-backed sounds built for concentration: Lofi Beats, Deep Focus Ambience, White Noise, Space, and Binaural. THEMES (PRO) Personalize your focus screen with beautiful Nature and Lofi wallpapers. FREE VS PRO The free tier includes unlimited focus sessions and a stopwatch. Regain Pro unlocks Pomodoro, Strict Mode, Premium Themes, and Science-Backed Focus Music. PRIVACY Sign in with Apple or Google is optional — signing in syncs your subscription across your devices. Your focus data always stays on your device, whether you sign in or not. Regain uses Apple's Family Controls to block distractions and never sees the names of the apps you block. You can permanently delete your account at any time from Settings.

Konvo is Instagram with only the messages. A paid Konvo subscription is required to access Instagram DMs through the app. Available plans, prices, billing periods, and any eligible free trial are shown before you confirm an Apple in-app purchase. Sign in with your Instagram account and Konvo opens straight to your inbox. The feed, Reels, and Explore never load. Your chats are exactly as you left them, and everything you send and receive shows up in Instagram like normal, because it is Instagram, just only the part you actually need. WHAT KONVO DOES - Opens directly to your Instagram inbox, every time - No feed, no Reels, no Explore, anywhere in the app - Your DMs, group chats, message requests, and story replies all work - You sign in on instagram.com inside the app. Konvo never sees or stores your password BLOCK THE REAL INSTAGRAM, IF YOU WANT Connect Konvo to Screen Time and the Instagram app itself gets blocked behind a shield. Your messages stay one tap away in Konvo. You get two five-minute passes a day to unlock Instagram for the things that need the real app: posting a story, a picture, or calling someone. When the pass ends, Instagram locks itself again. The block is optional and you can turn it off whenever you want. OPTIONAL MESSAGE NOTIFICATIONS AND PRIVACY Get alerts for new Instagram DMs while Konvo is closed. If you enable this feature, Konvo stores an encrypted Instagram sign-in session on its server to check for new messages. Message content is processed temporarily in memory and is not saved. You can disconnect in Message notifications settings. Konvo collects basic usage analytics to improve the app. Konvo requires an Instagram account. Konvo is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Message notifications are rolling out in a limited pilot for new users, subject to available places. Already connected accounts keep access.
