DOTHING

Managing tasks isn't doing tasks. Most to-do apps ask you to build a system first. Projects, tags, folders, priorities, filters. You spend Sunday setting it up and abandon it by Thursday. DOTHING has none of that. You add a task. It shows up on the day it's due. You tap it done. Say it or type it Hold the + button and talk. "Call Mom tomorrow at 6" becomes a task, dated, without you touching a date picker. Transcription happens on your iPhone. Block what pulls you away Choose the apps that distract you, then press and hold to block them while you work on a task. A timer on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island keeps you company until it's done. Do it together Share a task with anyone. Everyone sees the same steps and every change as it happens. Joining is free. Everything a task needs Subtasks to break it into steps. Notes, links, photos, files and drawings. Repeats for the things that come back. Reminders that arrive on time. Just ask Siri "Add a task in DOTHING." "What's on today in DOTHING?" "What's coming up in DOTHING?" Your tasks show up when you search your iPhone, too. Everywhere you already look Widgets on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. StandBy on your nightstand. Yours alone No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Your tasks sync through your own iCloud and go nowhere else, unless you share them. Free, with Pro when you need more DOTHING is free for up to 5 tasks at a time, each with up to 3 subtasks. Finish one and its place opens up. Tasks shared with you don't count. DOTHING Pro removes every limit: monthly, yearly with the first week free, or once for life.

Offline Streak helps you spend less time on your phone. It uses Apple's Screen Time to pause the apps you choose, when you choose, and turns the days you meet your goal into a streak. All features free. No account needed. BLOCK WHAT DISTRACTS YOU • Blocks for the apps, categories and websites you pick with Apple's Screen Time picker • Schedules with several time ranges, all-day schedules and ready-made routines such as quiet mornings, focused work, dinner and better sleep • Start a block now, for a set time or until a time you choose • Daily limits for groups of apps, on the days you choose, with a heads-up 5 minutes before • Pause a rule for 1 to 30 days, or pause everything at once • Optional adult-website filter, and blocking of app installs and in-app purchases A BREATH BEFORE YOU OPEN • The block screen shows when the block ends and how many opens you have left • "Open for a moment" asks for a short breath, then 1, 5, 15 or 30 minutes, and the block comes back by itself • Optional opens per day, a wait between opens and a "What for?" question • Strict mode (optional): no early opens, edits or deletes while a block is on, with emergency passes YOUR STREAK AND STATS • A daily goal for time away from your phone; your sleep hours never count • Your streak uses the Screen Time history already on your iPhone, so it can start today • Today: an hour-by-hour chart, pickups, notifications, the longest quiet stretch and your most-used apps • Week and month: change against last week, a calendar, your current and best streak, and milestones • Phone-free hours this week, last week and in your best week • Personal challenges of 3, 7, 14 or 30 days FOCUS AND REST • A focus timer: countdown, Pomodoro or open-ended, with labels and a history • 20-20-20 eye-break reminders • Reminders you choose: block start and end, limit heads-ups, a Sunday summary and an evening goal nudge • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with the active block and time left PRIVATE BY DESIGN The apps you choose are private Screen Time tokens: we can't see which apps or websites you pick, and your usage stays on your iPhone. An optional account (18+) can back up your setup; app choices and Screen Time data are never included. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL AD-FREE PLAN All features are free. The free version shows occasional, dismissible promotions for our own apps only, with no third-party ads. An optional subscription (weekly, monthly or yearly) removes all ads in all our apps on this iPhone. It unlocks no extra features. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings. Deleting the app doesn't cancel a subscription. IMPORTANT Offline Streak is a self-help tool built on Apple's Screen Time. Blocking can be turned off by the person using the phone, so treat it as a helpful nudge rather than a guarantee. Screen Time totals come from iOS and can be delayed or differ from Apple's own report. It isn't a parental-control tool. Phone calls, emergency calls and Emergency SOS always keep working. Needs Screen Time access on iOS. Terms of Use: https://offlinestreak.com/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://offlinestreak.com/privacy/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Offline Streak at fortnightly against DOTHING's every 2 months. Offline Streak also leads on iOS requirement (17.4 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
