readlock vs Svala

Break the doomscrolling cycle with readlock, the app that locks your most distracting apps until you complete your daily reading. Choose which apps to block - social media, games, streaming - and readlock keeps them locked until you've read. Once you finish your daily reading, your apps unlock automatically for the rest of the day. How it works: • Select the apps you want to block • Set a daily lock time - your apps lock again each day at that time • Complete your daily reading to unlock them • Build a reading streak and track your progress over time Features: • Curated library of 70+ book insights across topics like productivity, finance, science, and more • Track your reading streak, total reads, and time spent reading • Add books to your personal library to prioritize what you read next • Set a daily reminder to read before your apps lock readlock turns screen time into reading time - one day at a time.

Take back control of your screen time—without giving up the apps you enjoy. Svala is a calm, flexible app blocker that helps you use distracting apps and websites more intentionally. Choose what you want to limit, set a daily allowance for each day of the week, and let Svala step in when your time is up. When you reach a limit, Svala shows a clear shield that interrupts automatic scrolling. You can close the app and move on, or make a deliberate choice to unlock a little more time with a quick challenge. WHY SVALA? • Set daily limits for selected apps and websites • Choose different allowances for different days • Block distractions automatically when a limit is reached • Unlock optional extra time with quick challenges • Use an emergency unlock when you really need access • Keep your limits and Screen Time selections on your device BUILT FOR BETTER SCREEN HABITS Svala adds a small, intentional pause between impulse and action. That moment of friction can help you scroll less, avoid automatic app opens, and build healthier habits—without complicated routines or rigid focus sessions. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Svala does not collect, track, or sell your personal data. Your limits and Screen Time selections stay on your device. There are no ads, subscriptions or accounts. HOW IT WORKS Svala uses Apple’s Screen Time technologies to monitor the apps and websites you select and display a shield when a daily limit is reached. Screen Time authorization is required for these features. Your time. Your limits. Your choice.
