LogicLock Screen Time Control helps make time spent intentional. Time Limit Mode lets you set an access limit for selected apps. Once your time runs out, those apps are automatically restricted, helping you stay within the boundary you set. In Classic Mode, access is earned by completing short puzzle sessions. Instead of opening distracting apps automatically, you first solve challenges designed to engage your focus, memory, attention, and reasoning. Each completed session earns minutes that you can use to unlock your selected apps. The goal is simple: interrupt passive behavior, slow down impulsive app use, and make opening an app a deliberate choice. How it works: Select the apps you want to restrict Set an access limit with Time Limit Mode Complete short puzzle sessions to earn minutes in Classic Mode Use earned minutes to temporarily unlock your apps Build streaks and track your progress over time Challenge types include: Logic and deduction challenges Sequence and pattern recognition Short-term and working-memory tasks Attention and visual discrimination exercises Arithmetic chains and number puzzles Timed focus and reaction challenges Features: Time Limit and earn-to-unlock modes Multiple puzzle categories and difficulty levels Daily challenges Master difficulty profiles Progress, streak, and usage statistics A clean, focused experience LogicLock is for people who want more control over how they use their time and attention.

ScrollKarma

ScrollKarma blocks the apps that eat your day until you do one real thing first. Twenty push-ups buy you twenty minutes of TikTok. A walk to the corner buys ten minutes of Instagram. The phone gates itself behind the better version of you. Apple Screen Time shows you "You've used Instagram for 2 hours" and hands you an Ignore button. ScrollKarma does the opposite. The block holds until you finish the action, counted live on your device. ScrollKarma is a subscription app. A ScrollKarma Pro subscription is required to set up app blocking and to use every earn-your-scroll action below. It starts with a 7-day free trial. WAYS TO EARN YOUR SCROLL (included with ScrollKarma Pro) - Push-ups and squats, counted by the camera on your device - A short walk to a spot we drop on the map - More actions on the way: learning sets, a breathing session, a photo of the chore you said you'd do WHY IT WORKS Soft reminders stop working the day you start ignoring them. ScrollKarma adds friction you actually feel, then gets out of your way the moment you have earned your time. WHO IT IS FOR People who already tried Screen Time, Forest, or another habit tracker and want something with teeth. ScrollKarma is a self-control tool you set up for yourself. It is not a parental-control app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Camera frames are processed on your device and never uploaded. We don't sell your data and there are no ad trackers in the app. ScrollKarma Pro is an auto-renewable subscription: $49.99/year after a 7-day free trial, or $9.99/month. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and you can manage or cancel it in your App Store settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LogicLock Screen Time Control at none against ScrollKarma's shown. ScrollKarma's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
