Eclipse is a screen time control and app blocker that works without relying on your willpower. Grayscale scheduling and intentional app blocking make your phone a harder place to lose yourself in. Less sensory reward, less easy access, fewer wasted hours. Your phone is engineered to hold your attention. Every color, notification, and scroll is designed to bring you back. Eclipse works against that. Features: • Scheduled grayscale during your focus hours • App blocking to cut social media and distraction • Recurring focus blocks for work, study, or evenings • Break controls when you need flexibility • Weekly screen time insights to track your habits Eclipse uses Screen Time permissions and requires a short one-time setup. Free trial available. Premium features including grayscale schedules, app blocking, and weekly insights require an auto-renewing subscription. It's design, not discipline.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Eclipse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Synaplan AI Control sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $22.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Eclipse against 5.0 for Synaplan AI Control. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eclipse has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Eclipse ships an update every 2 weeks, Synaplan AI Control every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
