Stop doomscrolling today and reclaim your time! LOCKR is a screen time control app blocker that uses a personalized AI focus coach. You select the apps you want to block and whenever you open one of those apps, LOCKR intercepts it. To get access to an app, you have to provide a reason for the access. The coach will evaluate your reason and, based on the strictness that you set, it will decide on an appropriate amount of time for your access. When the timer ends, it will lock you out of the app again. It works with your screen time data to adapt your coach's strictness, track your progress, and show you exactly how much time you've reclaimed relative to your goal. Here are all of the features you get: - Instant app and website blocking - A personalized focus coach you can configure - Insights into your screen time usage through analytics - Daily check-ins that tell your coach how you're doing - A way to set and track your screen time goals - A focus and pause mode for adaptive blocking PRIVATE & SAFE * All features above require a subscription Terms of Service: https://trylockr.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://trylockr.com/privacy.html

Sweeep makes your iPhone feel new again. Your photo library is full of moments — but it's also full of duplicates, blurry shots, screenshots, and oversized videos that quietly eat up your storage. Sweeep helps you spot them and clean them out in just a few taps. WHAT SWEEEP FINDS • Duplicate photos — exact copies you forgot you took twice • Similar shots — near-identical bursts where you only need one • Screenshots — old receipts, memes, and reminders you don't need anymore • Large videos — long clips taking up the most room on your device • Older or low-quality photos — easy to clear, hard to find on your own WHAT SWEEEP DOES: Smart grouping Sweeep organizes your library into easy-to-review groups, so you don't have to scroll through thousands of photos one by one. Quick swipe cleanup Swipe through suggestions and tap to keep or remove. Cleaning your library becomes fast, even fun. Video compression Shrink large videos in place — keep the memory, lose the storage hog. Always reversible Anything you remove goes to your Recently Deleted album first. Nothing is permanent unless you choose for it to be. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sweeep does all of its work right on your iPhone. Your photos and videos never leave your device — there's nothing to upload, no cloud scanning, and no account to create. — Built by Lumo Lab, for people who'd rather take more photos than manage them.
