Say what's on your mind. Messy is fine. MindSpill gives you back your whole day — tasks, notes, and your real Apple Calendar, together on one screen instead of scattered across three apps. Something big? Ask it to break it down. And if it's simple, it'll tell you that instead. SAY IT ONCE Talk the way you'd talk to a friend who's about to help — half-finished, out of order, jumping around. No blank field to stare at, no format to get right. Your voice is transcribed on your device. Prefer to type? Type it messy. Point the camera at a whiteboard, a school letter, a handwritten list, and MindSpill reads the text. Paste a link and get the parts you actually need to act on. IT COMES BACK UNTANGLED The problem was never that there's too much. It's that everything is stuck together and you can't see where to pull. Say "dentist Thursday at 4" and it's there on Thursday at 4, with a nudge before it. Say "call the dentist Thursday" and it's waiting on your Plan that morning. Say "I should call the dentist" and it sits in Ongoing, showing up every day until you deal with it — and never once nagging you about it. YOUR REAL CALENDAR, IN THE SAME VIEW The events already on your iPhone appear right beside what you captured, so you can see your actual day in one place. No copying, no importing. MindSpill also checks for conflicts before you schedule something, so you find out before it's a problem. TOLD STRAIGHT Tap Break it Down on anything you've been avoiding. Sometimes it splits into steps. Sometimes it surfaces the thing you'd have forgotten. Sometimes it just tells you this one's simple and to go do it. Most apps' AI always has something to say. This one knows when a task doesn't need help. GOES WHERE YOU ALREADY ARE Widget on your home screen. A word to Siri. And when you want something somewhere else, send it: Apple Reminders, Apple Calendar, Apple Notes, or Notion. NO STREAKS. NO SHAME. Miss a day and nothing happens. There's no number to protect, no chain to break, no notification asking where you've been. A quiet weekly view shows where your time actually went — no scores, no judgement. ALSO IN THIS APP - Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac - Full app in English and Español - Siri Shortcuts and App Intents - Home screen widgets - Search everything you've ever said PRIVACY Voice transcription happens on your device — your audio never leaves your phone. Photos are read on-device and only the text is kept. Your data is never sold or used for advertising. PRICING Everything is free for 7 days — the full app, nothing held back. After that, MindSpill Pro is $5.99/month or $49.99/year, renewing automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. When your trial ends, you keep what you made. Your spills, tasks and notes stay, and you can still view, edit, complete and export them.

Scrollr blocks the apps that eat your days — social media, games, anything you pick. To reopen one, you do a habit. Thirty seconds. Then the door opens. Not a ban. A trade. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps to block. Pick your habits: translate a sentence, mental maths, two minutes of breathing, a photo of the dishes you just did, a memory game, a workout. Open Instagram: Scrollr asks for your habit of the moment. Do it, and the app unlocks for as long as you decided — from 1 minute to 24 hours. WHAT MAKES SCROLLR DIFFERENT Photos are actually checked. A picture of your desk won't pass for a workout: the analysis runs on your phone, no image ever leaves it. Habits grow with you. Five difficulty levels: at level one you put two words back in order; at level five, a full eleven-word sentence. Your real hours, not an estimate. Scrollr reads your actual Screen Time and counts the hours you take back. A day only counts if you held your target until midnight. Every app can have its own habit. Snapchat opens only after your workout, if that's what you decide. 15 LANGUAGES English, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese. Scrollr uses Apple's Screen Time tools to block at the system level. No usage data is sent anywhere. Some features require a subscription.
