Most app blockers give you a toggle. Tap it, and you're back in your feed in two seconds. Tolls doesn't work that way. HOW IT WORKS Coins build up while you stay off your phone. To unlock a blocked app, you spend a coin and scan a real object around you, something you actually have to get up and find. Then you choose how long you want in. That same amount of time becomes your cooldown afterward, so there's no binging your way straight back in. TWO WAYS TO UNLOCK Toll Booth: spend 1 coin, scan 1 item in 30 seconds, unlock 1 app for up to 15 minutes. Open Hour: spend 3 coins, scan 3 items in 30 seconds, unlock everything for a full hour. Coins regenerate passively while your apps stay blocked, up to a maximum of 3 at a time. There's no way to buy more, and no way to skip the scan. BUILT-IN ACCOUNTABILITY Track your daily streak, compare your focus hours and restraint on weekly leaderboards, and get a check-in from Chip, your beaver mascot, along the way. Blocking is powered by Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls framework, the same system-level technology built into iOS. Tolls is a Pro-only app. There's no free tier and no ads, just one focused tool with real friction built in. Try it free for 5 days with a referral code, or subscribe today.

About

Hours Tracker

Features
Read full description

Know what went into your estimated pay. Work Pay is a personal hours tracker and timesheet for hourly work. Enter a shift, see its earnings breakdown, and compare your records with the gross amount on your payslip. No employer account is required. RECORD YOUR SHIFTS Enter start and end dates, unpaid breaks and optional tips. Saved shifts keep their original pay-rate snapshot when you change a job's rate. Edit your records and archive old jobs without losing their history. UNDERSTAND THE CALCULATION See regular pay, your own optional per-shift overtime rules, tips and estimated gross before taxes or deductions. Overnight shifts and daylight-saving changes use actual elapsed time in the job's saved time zone. COMPARE GROSS WITH GROSS Choose a reporting period and enter the actual gross paid from your payslip. Compare wages with wages, or choose to include tips. A difference compares your figures; it does not establish a legal entitlement or calculate take-home pay. KEEP YOUR RECORDS USEFUL Share a CSV report with explicit currencies and dates. Your job and shift records stay in local app storage; no app-operated cloud sync is required. Device backups may include app data according to your Apple settings. Existing records remain available to read, edit and export without an active Pro purchase. SUPPORTED CURRENCIES USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD, NZD, SEK, NOK, DKK, CHF and JPY. Different currencies are kept separate; currency conversion is not provided. IMPORTANT DETAILS This is a manual personal ledger, not automated clock-in, employer payroll, a tax calculator or legal advice. Overtime is a user-configured per-shift estimate, not statutory overtime. Whole shifts belong to their start date in the saved job time zone. Reports use CSV, not PDF.
