OpenIntent
Read full descriptionHide full description
OpenIntent blocks your most distracting apps until you do 10 squats โ earning 10 minutes on one app. On-device motion only, no camera. You choose which apps to protect. When you try to open one, OpenIntent asks you to earn access first โ a short physical ritual instead of a mindless tap. How it works - Protect the exact apps that break your focus - Complete 10 squats to unlock one app for 10 minutes - Protection returns automatically when the timer ends - Motion counting runs on device in real time Why it works OpenIntent turns mindless scrolling into a short physical ritual. The rule stays fixed, the unlock stays narrow, and one unlock opens only one app at a time. Privacy and product truth - On-device motion counting only - No camera upload or cloud motion scoring in the shipping path - Uses Apple's Screen Time controls for exact app protection - No account required to get started Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Scan to Markdown
Read full descriptionHide full description
Scan to Markdown turns paper documents into clean Markdown text on your iPhone or iPad. Use the document scanner to capture pages, then review the generated Markdown, copy it, share it, save it, or select only the lines you need. Historic scans are saved on device so you can reopen previous runs after relaunching the app. For AI workflows, the app includes an explicit Open AI App action. When you tap it, Scan to Markdown copies the generated Markdown to the clipboard and opens ChatGPT or Claude using the installed app or web fallback. The OCR text is not sent to an AI app unless you choose that action. Features: - Document scanning with page continuation - On-device OCR to Markdown - Copy, share, and export Markdown - Saved history of previous scans - Line-based text selection tools - Optional ChatGPT and Claude handoff
