TimeAware vs StepGate

You're not broken. You just lose track of time. TimeAware is the gentle time awareness app built for brains that experience time blindness — a core struggle for adults with ADHD and anyone who chronically loses hours without noticing. Instead of dozens of annoying alarms, TimeAware gives you pleasant hourly "time anchors" — soft chimes or voice announcements that gently remind you what time it is, keeping you grounded in the present moment. HOW IT WORKS Every hour (or at your custom interval), TimeAware plays a gentle chime or speaks the time aloud. That's it. Simple, consistent, life-changing. Choose between: - Chimes — 12 beautiful sound effects from Gentle Bell to Tibetan Bowl - Voice Announcements — 12 distinct voices from Calm to ASMR whisper - Haptic Only — silent vibrations, perfect for meetings and classrooms DESIGNED FOR ADHD BRAINS TimeAware isn't another productivity app pretending to understand you.

Millions of adults experience time blindness — hours pass unnoticed, deadlines get missed, daily life becomes a source of frustration. Existing solutions (setting dozens of alarms, generic clock apps) are either too annoying, too easy to dismiss, or not designed for how ADHD brains actually work. TimeAware does one thing extraordinarily well: it anchors you in time, gently and consistently, so you can focus on living. Your brain deserves better tools. --- Questions or feedback?

Lock the apps you overuse until you've walked your steps. Make yourself one promise: steps before scrolling. StepGate keeps it for you. HOW TO USE STEPGATE: 1) Pick the apps you want locked 2) Set your daily step goal 3) Walk. Hit the goal and they open* A real lock on the apps you doomscroll. It lifts when you hit your steps, so your screen time is earned, not assumed. Not a reminder you can swipe away. StepGate uses Apple's Screen Time to block them for real: a digital detox that costs a walk instead of willpower. Your steps come from Apple Health, so the pedometer is already running. There's no account and no sign-up, and because you pick your apps in Apple's own picker, StepGate never sees which ones you chose. Rest days, active hours and a pause switch are built in. Rigid systems get deleted. Questions or ideas: https://stepgate-omega.vercel.app/support NOTE: StepGate is a habit tool, not medical or fitness advice. Steps are read from Apple Health and Motion & Fitness (read-only). App blocking uses Apple's Family Controls framework with individual authorization: you managing yourself. Requires iOS 17 or later. *STEPGATE PLUS IS REQUIRED TO GATE APPS. Already using StepGate before Plus existed? It stays free for you.
