Pact vs Caliu

Pact helps you build a healthier relationship with your phone by adding intentional friction to distracting apps. HOW IT WORKS Select apps you want to limit. Start a focus session or set usage limits. When you try to open blocked apps, complete a quick puzzle first. The small pause helps you decide: do I really need this right now? FOCUS SESSIONS Block distracting apps for 15 minutes to 4 hours. Perfect for deep work, studying, or quality time with family. USAGE LIMITS Automatically shield apps after 15 minutes of daily use. Complete a puzzle to unlock 15 more minutes. Difficulty increases with each unlock and resets at midnight. EARN KEYS Earn 1 key for every 15 minutes of focus time. Use keys to skip puzzles when you really need access. Build a balance of keys as a reward for staying focused. WHY PACT? Unlike harsh blockers that frustrate you, Pact creates a mindful pause. The puzzle isn't punishment—it's a moment to reflect on your intention. Most people find that by the time they finish the puzzle, they no longer want to open the app. PRIVACY FIRST Your app choices are protected by Apple's Screen Time framework and never leave your device—we can't see which apps you block or what you do on your phone. No account required. We collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the app, and nothing is ever sold or shared. PACT PRO Block unlimited apps for free. Upgrade to unlock all session durations, detailed statistics, and support indie development. Download Pact and reclaim your attention.

Caliu is a quiet place to write. Open it and start typing: no account, no setup, no clutter. Markdown takes shape as you type, everything works offline, and your notes stay on your device. When you want them everywhere, create a free account and they follow you across iPhone, iPad, Mac and the web. Sync is free, and it stays free. Writing comes first Headings, lists, tasks, quotes, code and links format as you write. There is no preview pane and no mode to switch: what you see is your note. The interface steps aside and leaves you with the page. Organised the way you think Tags instead of folders, because one idea can belong in many places. Nest them, colour them, and find any note in seconds. Link notes to each other and follow a thought from one to the next. Pin what matters now, and archive what you are done with without losing a word. There when you need it Native on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with a web app for everything else.
