Anchor vs Capacify

Anchor blocks your distracting apps during focus sessions. Not a reminder. Not a nudge. Actually blocked. Most focus apps send a notification hoping you'll resist the urge to scroll. That doesn't work — especially when your brain craves dopamine. Anchor uses Apple's Screen Time API to lock apps at the system level. Try to open Instagram during a session? It won't open. No willpower required. FOCUS MODES Pomodoro: 25 min work, 5 min break with auto-cycling Deep Work: 45-90 min uninterrupted focus Creative Flow: Flexible timing for creative tasks Custom: Set your own duration and breaks REAL APP BLOCKING Select which apps to block during sessions System-level blocking via Apple Family Controls Animated shield screen when you try to open blocked apps No "Ignore Limit" button — apps are genuinely locked DYNAMIC ISLAND & LOCK SCREEN Animated progress ring on your Dynamic Island Timer visible on your lock screen without unlocking Home screen widgets for quick session starts Siri Shortcuts: "Hey Siri, start a focus session" AMBIENT SOUNDSCAPES Rain, ocean, forest, cafe, fireplace, white noise, or silence Mix with your own music or listen standalone TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Focus Score (0-100) based on consistency and completion Weekly and monthly reports with focus charts Heat map calendar showing your focus history Session reflections with mood tracking Streaks with Streak Shield protection (skip one day without breaking) ACHIEVEMENTS Unlock badges as you build your focus habit Track milestones and celebrate progress Apple Health sync writes Mindful Minutes automatically TASKS & PROJECTS Built-in task management for focus sessions Organize tasks into projects Track what you accomplished each session BUILT FOR PRIVACY No ads.

Capacify is an energy budgeting app for ADHD, autistic, and neurodivergent people whose normal to-do list keeps lying to them. Instead of pretending every task costs the same, Capacify lets you give each task an EP cost, set today's actual capacity, and see what realistically fits. When a task feels too boring, too big, or too loaded, AI reframes it in a voice that actually gets you moving. Use Capacify to: - Set a daily energy budget - Add tasks with realistic EP costs - See only the tasks that fit your current capacity - Reframe tasks with playful, direct, cozy, chaotic, or custom voices - Build your own custom personality for nudges that sound right to you - Track patterns over time without turning your life into a productivity spreadsheet Capacify is built for ADHD and autistic brains, burnout recovery, low-energy and low-spoon days, executive dysfunction, sensory and chronic overwhelm, and any neurodivergent mind that needs a more honest way to plan. This is not a medical app, therapy app, or diagnosis tool. It is planning support with a little bite: part energy budget, part task manager, part motivational translator. Bandwidth is finite. Chores can wait. Pick what fits today. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.capacify.app/terms
