MathBlocker vs Hold My Juice

MathBlocker puts a math problem between you and the apps you open too much. You pick the apps you want blocked. When you try to open one after your time's up, a math question shows up instead. You answer it, you get a few minutes back. You don't, the app stays closed. The questions are real. They come from the same problem sets people use to study for the SAT, ACT, AMC, and AIME. You can set the difficulty. Easy questions if you just want a speed bump. Harder ones if you actually want to stop scrolling. Features - Block any app or category — social, video, games, news, browsers - Pick your difficulty, from warmup arithmetic to competition-level - Choose your problem set: SAT, ACT, AMC, AIME, Putnam, or general practice - Earn time back per problem solved (you set how much) - Daily, weekly, and per-app limits - Schedule blocks by time of day (bedtime, study hours, work hours) - Dashboard with usage broken down by app, hour, and day - Custom block screen so it actually feels like a stop sign - Works with Family Sharing if you're setting it up for someone younger A few ways people use it: blocking social apps during work hours. Locking everything after 10pm with hard math. Pairing it with actual SAT prep so the time you would've spent scrolling becomes practice instead. Everything stays on your phone. No account, no login, no data sent anywhere. iOS 16 and up. iPhone only.

Family life has a terrible user interface. The field trip details are in a PDF. Soccer moved fields in an email. Someone needs a green shirt by Thursday. There's a dentist appointment on the calendar, but nobody remembers which kid it's for. And somehow you're supposed to keep all of this in your head. Hold My Juice is an AI sidekick for the logistics of family life. IT FINDS THE STUFF THAT MATTERS Connect your email and calendar. Hold My Juice sorts through the school emails, camp updates, activity threads, calendar events, forms, deadlines, and general family debris to figure out what actually requires your attention. A form you need to sign. A deadline coming up. A conflict nobody noticed. A thing happening tomorrow that Future You would really appreciate knowing about today. Then it gives you a heads-up. NO NEW FAMILY OPERATING SYSTEM REQUIRED Hold My Juice isn't another calendar you have to maintain, another elaborate organization method, or another app asking you to lovingly categorize your children's lives. It works with the mess you already have. You may go days without opening it. Good. That's the idea. Family software shouldn't become another thing you have to take care of. BUILT FOR ACTUAL FAMILIES Families have co-parents, grandparents, sitters, stepparents, multiple households, complicated schedules, and people who know completely different pieces of the puzzle. Hold My Juice helps get all that information out of one person's head and into a place where the people who need it can actually see it. LESS ADMIN. MORE LIFE. We're not trying to turn your family into a beautifully optimized project plan. We're trying to make it a little less likely that you'll discover at 8:04am that today was Crazy Hat Day.
