Affluence vs Zarko

Affluence turns screen time into a balance. Instead of only showing how many hours you spent on your phone, Affluence helps you manage your attention like money. Your day starts with a time allowance. Distracting apps reduce your balance. Focus sessions help you earn time back. The result is a simple, visual way to see where your time is going before the day runs out. Affluence is built for people who want more control over scrolling, social media, and late-night phone use — without relying on easy-to-ignore app limits. What you can do with Affluence: • Set a daily screen time allowance Choose how much time you want available each day and track how much remains. • See phone use as transactions Distracting app usage appears like charges in a ledger, making screen time easier to notice and understand. • Earn time back with focus sessions Use focused work, study, reading, or other intentional sessions to deposit time back into your day. • Understand your daily balance See how much time you have left, how much you’ve spent, and whether you’re still on track. • Make late-night scrolling harder to ignore Affluence can apply stricter rules at night, when endless scrolling is easiest to justify. • Build better awareness over time Use your Wallet and Ledger to understand patterns in your screen time and make better choices. Affluence does not shame you for using your phone. It simply makes your time visible. Your attention has value. Give it a balance.

You can't trust yourself to put the phone down. So don't rely on willpower alone — rely on a real challenge. Zarko is a screen-time blocker with a twist: once you lock in a focus session, the way out is to prove it — not to quit. HOW IT WORKS • Choose the apps, categories, or websites you want blocked — powered by Apple's official Screen Time (FamilyControls) framework. • Start a focus session and get to work. Your chosen apps and sites stay locked for the full duration. • Tempted to check your phone early? Complete a quick physical or mental challenge — shake, walk, type, solve, remember — to break the block before time's up. No luck involved: finish the challenge and you're unlocked. • Want zero exits? Turn on Strict Mode in Settings and the give-up option stays locked until you're halfway through the session — the challenge becomes the only way out. BUILD A STREAK, NOT JUST A HABIT Every completed session adds to your daily streak. Miss a day and it resets — but your history stays. Track your weekly focus time, session count, and streak in one clean stats screen, and share your progress as a ready-to-post card. UNLOCK THEME COLORS Every successful challenge gives you a new color theme for the app — pure cosmetic, zero pay-to-win. Collect them all. WHY IT WORKS Traditional blockers fail because quitting is always one tap away. Zarko puts real effort between you and that tap, so staying focused becomes the easy choice — and if you want the door closed for real, Strict Mode removes the easy exit entirely. PRIVACY FIRST Zarko blocks apps and websites entirely on your device using Apple's Screen Time APIs. We never see which apps you use, what you type, or your browsing history — that data never leaves your phone. UNLOCK EVERYTHING (OPTIONAL ONE-TIME PURCHASE) Blocking, focus sessions, unlock challenges, streaks, and theme collecting are free — no ads, no subscriptions. If you want more, a single one-time purchase adds: • Your equipped theme color across the whole app and the block screen • Custom session lengths, from 5 minutes to 3 hours • Detailed stats: week-over-week trends and your top blocked apps by Screen Time Pay once, keep it forever. And no purchase ever lets you skip the challenge — the only way out early is still to earn it.
