BetterYou helps you stay off distracting apps when it matters. Create focus modes for work, study, sleep, or anything else—each with its own app and category limits using Apple’s Screen Time controls. Start a session in seconds or let your week run on a schedule you define. Features ** Focus modes your way — Built-in presets plus custom modes, icons, and colors. Multiple time windows per mode, reminders, and optional auto-start when a schedule begins. ** Timed sessions — Quick-start timers with presets or custom lengths. See focus time on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities. ** Two commitment levels — Normal supports breaks (up to 30 minutes) with a cooldown so breaks stay intentional. Hardcore removes breaks and early exit—ideal when you need maximum lock-in. ** Blocking that fits real life — Pick apps and categories per mode, tune exclusions where you need flexibility, and keep essential apps reachable. ** Encouraging shields — When a blocked app opens, a clear, on-brand shield reminds you why you’re focusing—with optional messages you choose for the session. ** See your progress — Charts and totals for week, month, or all time. Focus time reflects real work, not time on break. ** Log what you did — Record productive activities and optional session notes so wins don’t disappear. ** Your data, your devices — Sign in with Apple where enabled, and sync modes, history, and settings across devices with iCloud when available. Privacy / requirements BetterYou uses Screen Time and Family Controls to apply limits you choose. An iCloud account may be used for sync. You stay in control of what gets blocked and when.

Conquer

Your phone is stealing your life. Conquer takes it back. Every time you reach for Instagram, TikTok, or Snapchat — Conquer stops you. Forces you to face yourself. Then lets you decide. This isn't another screen time tracker. It's a discipline tool built around one question: are you living like the person you said you wanted to become? HOW IT WORKS Block the apps that waste your time. Every time you try to open them, Conquer intercepts and asks you two honest questions about your goals. An AI then generates a reflection personalized to your answers and your life. Then you choose — scroll anyway, or get back to what matters. One conscious choice at a time. WHY CONQUER IS DIFFERENT Every other blocker just shows you a wall. Conquer shows you a mirror. Instead of a generic "stay focused" message, you see a reflection that knows your goal, your deadline, why it matters to you, and how hard you worked today. It hits differently. FEATURES — Block any app until you complete a daily reflection — AI-generated reflections personalized to your goals and answers — Daily open limits — set exactly how many times you allow yourself in — Streak tracking and resistance rate — see your discipline build over time — Time reclaimed — watch the hours you've taken back grow — Emergency access for genuine urgent situations — Full session control — you decide how long each unlock lasts BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SERIOUS Not for people who want to feel productive. For people who want to actually become who they said they would be. 3-day free trial. No payment due now. Terms of Use: https://theconquerapp.com/terms.html
