WriteTimer vs Intent Lock

Writers of all types deserve a dedicated timer. WriteTimer helps you build a daily writing habit with focused sprint sessions, word count tracking, achievement milestones, and beautiful progress rings — no accounts, no ads, and no data ever leaving your device. HOW IT WORKS Choose a session length or dial in a custom duration and press play. A full-screen countdown begins, with three animated progress rings showing your daily, weekly, and yearly writing time at a glance. Completed sessions are logged automatically. Need more time mid-sprint? Tap any preset to add minutes to a running timer without interrupting your flow. TRACK YOUR WRITING After each session, log a note about what you worked on, how many words you wrote, and even add a customizable tag. WriteTimer calculates your words-per-minute pace automatically and saves everything to your session history. Browse your history sorted by date, word count, or project tag. Tap any session entry to edit its note, word count, or tags from a single screen. The Stats tab shows daily, weekly, and yearly writing totals alongside a seven-day activity chart.

Every session is logged. Every word is counted. Every streak is worth protecting.

Most mornings, the first thing you do is check your phone. Notifications. Social media. News. And just like that, your day has already started without you. Intent Lock flips that script. Your phone stays locked until you set your intentions for the day. No scrolling. No distractions. Just you and your goals before anything else gets your attention. HOW IT WORKS Every morning, Intent Lock activates during your wake hours. Your phone is blocked from your usual apps until you open Intent Lock and write down what you actually want to accomplish today. Set your goals. Hit submit. Your phone unlocks. That's it. Throughout the day, come back to your dashboard to check off goals as you complete them. Watch your progress bar fill. Keep your streak alive. End the day knowing exactly what you did and did not do. FEATURES - Phone and App Blocker: Keeps your phone locked each morning until your daily goals are set, using Apple's Screen Time FamilyControls framework. - Daily Goals and Intentions: Set a drag-to-reorder list of intentions each morning. Clear, simple, no system to learn. - Progress Dashboard: Check off goals throughout the day. Visual progress bar shows how your day is going at a glance. - Streak Counter: Build a consecutive day streak displayed on a full-screen weekly calendar so every day counts. - Home Screen Widgets: Interactive goal checkboxes right on your home screen via WidgetKit. See and complete your goals without opening the app. - Live Activities: Persistent goal progress visible on your lock screen and Dynamic Island throughout the day. - Flexible Wake Hours: Configure your own blocked hours. Whether you wake at 5am or 9am, Intent Lock adapts to your schedule. WHY INTENT LOCK IS DIFFERENT Most app blockers just block apps. Most goal trackers just track goals. Intent Lock connects the two. Your phone access is the incentive. You don't get your apps until you have decided what today is for. This is not about restriction. It is about intention. Your phone is a tool, not a default. Intent Lock makes sure you pick it up on purpose. WHO IT IS FOR Intent Lock is for anyone who has ever picked up their phone in the morning and lost 30 minutes without meaning to. If you have tried habit trackers, goal apps, or app blockers and nothing has stuck, it is because none of them had a real consequence. Intent Lock does. Start your first intentional day. Download Intent Lock and wake up tomorrow ready to start with intention. (Note: Intent Lock requires an active subscription. No features are available without one.)
