Ember vs Orbit

"Just 5 minutes" turns into 2 hours. Sound familiar? That's time blindness. It's common with ADHD, and endless feeds make it worse: there's no clock inside a feed. Ember brings the clock back. While you're in the apps you choose, you get a quiet time check every 15 minutes: "30 min in TikTok today." No blocks, no lectures. Just the time, so you can decide. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps where time disappears: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, anything. 2. Choose how often Ember checks in: every 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes. 3. Get a gentle time check while you scroll. Tap "5 more min" or "I'm done" right from the notification. WHAT YOU GET - Gentle time checks instead of hard blocks - "5 more min" check-ins: set your own wrap-up time without leaving the app - Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets: today's time at a glance - Evening time receipt: your day in hours, TV episodes and walks - An optional daily goal per app, with a streak for the days you stay in it - Daily and weekly usage charts BUILT FOR ADHD BRAINS No willpower tests, no guilt, no long setup. Ember is a reminder, not a punishment, so it's easy to keep using. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Ember is built on Apple's Screen Time framework. Your usage data stays on your iPhone.

Every year, screens take a little more of your attention than the year before. Orbit is built to quietly interrupt that pattern, not by shaming you, but by making the apps you open out of habit a little harder to reach. Pick the apps you want off-limits, choose the hours, and Orbit blocks them at the system level using Apple's Screen Time technology. Try to open a blocked app during that window, and you'll have to hold your finger down first, long enough to make you pause and choose again. WHAT'S INSIDE Three ready-made schedules to start from: - No scroll till evening, for keeping mornings and afternoons social-free - Deep work mornings, for weekday focus blocks - Sleep, for winding down without the scroll Or build your own: pick any apps, any days, any hours. A hold that makes you think twice Unlocking isn't instant. Hold to unlock for 5 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 3 minutes, so opening a blocked app is always a choice, never a reflex. Breaks when you need them Take a short break, 3 to 15 minutes, when you genuinely need an app mid-schedule. Blocking resumes automatically when it ends. No shame, no streaks Orbit doesn't track your screen time or make you feel bad about it. There are no streaks to lose, no stats to obsess over. Just a little friction, right when you need it. Everything stays on your phone. An account is optional and never required to use Orbit or restore a purchase. Orbit won't fix your relationship with your phone by itself. It just makes the apps that make hours disappear a little slower to reach, so you have a moment to choose something else instead.
