Read full description

Propellon is the companion app for the Propellon Beacon — a Bluetooth device that automatically blocks distracting apps when you sit down to work. This app requires the Propellon Beacon hardware to function. The beacon is sold separately at getpropellon.com. HOW IT WORKS Place your Propellon Beacon on your desk. When your iPhone detects the beacon signal, Propellon applies Screen Time shields to your selected apps, blocking them at the OS level. Walk away from your desk, and they unlock automatically. No manual switching. No willpower required. WHAT YOU CAN CONFIGURE · Choose which apps to block per focus session · Create multiple groups (Work, Study, Deep Focus) · Set schedules — only block during specific days and hours · Adjust detection sensitivity with two-point zone calibration · Set lock and unlock delay (1–10 seconds) PRIVACY Propellon has no servers, no accounts, and no analytics. Everything stays on your device. Bluetooth and location data are processed locally and never transmitted. Location permission (Always On) is required because Apple routes iBeacon detection through CoreLocation. No GPS coordinates are read or stored. Terms of Service: https://getpropellon.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://getpropellon.com/privacy REQUIREMENTS · Propellon Beacon (required — sold at getpropellon.com) · iPhone running iOS 17 or later · Screen Time permission · Location permission set to Always

Anythings — your to-do list that stays in order. Throw everything at Anythings — a quick thought, a voice note, a screenshot, an email, a messy 2am brain dump — and it turns all of it into a prioritized to-do list that's always in the right order. No formatting, no organizing, no thinking about where things go. HOW IT WORKS - Capture anything — type it, paste it, say it out loud, or drop in a photo or file. - Anythings reads it, pulls out the tasks, and turns plain language like "by Thursday" into real due dates. - Every task is ordered by what actually matters to you, so the right thing is always on top. - The more you use it, the smarter it gets — it learns the people and projects you care about and quietly adjusts as it goes. THE DETAILS - Always in the right order — no manual prioritizing, no dragging things around. - People and projects you track get highlighted right inside your tasks, so you can see who and what at a glance. - Notes, attachments, and files live inside any task — your list stays clean. - Filter by day or priority, or snooze anything for later in a tap. - A morning brief so you start every day knowing what matters. - Works on iPhone and the web, always in sync. FREE TO START - Your first 50 tasks are completely free — no credit card. When you're hooked, go unlimited for less than a coffee. Throw in anything. We'll keep it in order. Anythings offers an optional Pro subscription (Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly) for unlimited tasks and captures. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
