Scroll less. Learn a language. Deplug blocks your most distracting apps - and the only way back in is to complete a quick language lesson. Trade mindless scrolling for real progress, one unlock at a time. You pick the apps to block. When you reach for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or anything else that pulls you in, Deplug stops you at the door and gives you a short lesson instead. Finish it, and you've earned your screen time. WHY DEPLUG WORKS Most app blockers are easy to ignore โ€” one tap and you're back to scrolling. Deplug adds just enough friction to break the autopilot, and turns that moment into something useful. Every unlock makes you a little sharper instead of a little number.

Most todo apps show you everything at once โ€” including all the things you can't actually start yet. Vibelist is different: you tell it what depends on what, and it shows you only the tasks that are ready right now. Everything else waits quietly until its turn comes. Chain your tasks. "Book flights" can't happen before "Research destinations." In Vibelist, you link them once โ€” and "Book flights" stays hidden until research is done, then appears by itself, exactly when it becomes possible. No more scrolling past blocked tasks, no more mental filtering. See your work as a map. The graph view lays your projects out as flowing chains: what's active now, what's coming next, and how it all connects. Pinch, pan, and tap a task to edit it. Completed work drifts into the past, where every project keeps a clean, chronological record โ€” read it top to bottom, left to right, and you can replay exactly how you got here. Plan your day with intent. Flag the tasks you want to tackle today. As you complete work, follow-up tasks that become ready take their place automatically โ€” your plan advances itself. Projects with personality. Group tasks into projects, give each its own color, reorder and rename them freely. Colors adapt to light and dark mode so everything stays readable. Your data stays yours. Automatic iCloud backup and sync across your devices โ€” no account, no login, no tracking. Export your entire list as readable JSON anytime, and import it back whenever you want. Widgets keep your ready tasks on your home screen. Vibelist is for anyone whose work comes in steps: students, parents, entrepreneurs, people with ADHD โ€” anyone who's ever written "(after X is done)" next to a todo. Stop managing your list. Just do what's up now.
