Not everyone responds well to app blockers. For many people, hard limits feel frustrating, easy to ignore, or difficult to stick to. Hourfall takes a different approach. Instead of locking you out, Hourfall helps you build awareness in the moment. By showing your app usage live while you are actively using it, it becomes easier to notice when a quick check is turning into wasted time and make a conscious choice to stop. Track app usage live See your active app time in real time, right when it matters most. That immediate feedback makes it easier to notice when a quick check is turning into a long scroll. Switch into focus fast When you are ready to stop, start a built-in focus session and move directly into deep work, study, or uninterrupted time. See wasted time vs. saved time Your dashboard gives you a simple view of how much time was lost to distraction and how much time you intentionally protected for focus. Review your habits over time Explore daily and weekly stats to spot patterns, identify your biggest distractions, and measure your progress. Stay aware from your Home Screen Use widgets and quick actions for faster access to your stats, sessions, and daily progress. Fits your routine Customize time boundaries and session behavior so tracking works the way your day actually works. Private by design Your usage data stays on your device. Hourfall processes tracking locally, so your personal habits stay private. Whether you want to reduce doomscrolling, study with fewer interruptions, or build stronger focus habits, Hourfall helps you notice more, scroll less, and use your time with more intention.

DayLoad

Most planners show you appointments. DayLoad shows you how full a day really is โ€” before you say yes. PLAN โ€” YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE A fixed week strip on top, the day's hour-by-hour timeline below. "Focus Today" highlights up to three key tasks. Habits with streak counters underneath โ€” check them off, done. A WORKLOAD THAT'S HONEST Every task counts toward the day's load by its duration: green (light), yellow (full), red (overloaded). Decide per activity whether it counts โ€” and set your own daily capacity. A FAMILIAR MONTH VIEW The whole month with your events as an overview. Tap a day to open its plan, long-press to create an event right there. FUTURE INBOX Something comes to mind? Tap, save, move on โ€” it lands in your inbox first, not on the calendar. Drag it onto a time or a day when you're ready, and see what the day already holds. APPLE CALENDAR Your existing events fold into the workload, read-only โ€” nothing is changed. FAST & QUIET No visual overhead, no icon clutter, text before icons. Instant feedback on every check. Light and dark mode. DayLoad is for people who don't want to forget things โ€” and want to notice a day is full before it's too late.
