Some decisions you can't talk through with anyone. Not because they're secret, but because everyone around you has a stake. TrueU.ai is built for exactly those. It's a private Thinking Partner™, a second mind that's actually yours, for the moment a decision keeps circling and you need to think clearly before you act. You bring it here, and you think it through on your own terms, at whatever pace the decision actually needs. How it's different from other AIs Other AI has started to remember a few things about you: a name, a preference, a saved note. Useful, but it still doesn't understand how you reason, and it will happily tell you what to do. TrueU.ai doesn't pick a side or hand you an answer. It lays out the thinking clearly and leaves the conclusion where it belongs, with you. You bring the question, and it helps you get to an answer that's yours, not one it picked for you. What people bring here A career change no one else can make for you. A relationship decision you can't run past the people closest to it. The months where you keep replaying the same choice and never move. Sometimes it's just too many open questions at once, and you need to set them down somewhere private and think. Other times you want to test what you actually believe before you say it out loud to anyone. Privacy is the point Your thinking is yours, and it stays that way. Your conversations are private and encrypted, we will never use your Private Thinking to train AI models, ours or anyone else's, and we will never sell or reveal your personal data. You can delete anything, anytime. The model of how you think belongs to you. The only agenda in the room is yours. That is what separates a private space to think from a general assistant. It is never tuned to steer you toward a view, toward more time in the app, or toward anything that serves us instead of you. What TrueU.ai will not do It will not push you toward a conclusion, sell your data, or turn your reflections into training data. There is no recommendation at the end. Just the question, and your answer. It gets sharper the longer you use it TrueU.ai remembers. It keeps the context of what you've worked through, so each conversation builds on the last instead of starting over. When you come back to a decision you've been sitting with, it knows where your thinking left off. Weeks of scattered, half-finished thoughts add up to something you can actually decide on. Your Thinking Partner™ is ready. Start with a single question, and see what you find. TrueU.ai, Clarity for life. Subscription details Core Monthly and Core Annual are auto-renewable subscriptions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TrueU.ai at 5.0 against Screen Time Control's 4.0. Screen Time Control's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Screen Time Control sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and TrueU.ai sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $24.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TrueU.ai holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Time Control has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Screen Time Control ships an update every 2 weeks, TrueU.ai every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
