aurrra vs Ellipsus

your phone is designed to keep you scrolling. aurrra is designed to give you your attention back. start a session and the apps that hijack your focus go dark — instantly. no willpower required, no negotiating with yourself at 11pm. when you're in the aurrra, the noise is gone. THE FOCUS SESSION pick the apps and categories that pull you in, hit start, and they're blocked until you end the session. that's it. open Instagram or TikTok and you'll hit a wall instead of a feed. TOMATO MODE work in focus blocks with built-in breaks, pomodoro-style. apps stay blocked while you work and automatically unblock during your breaks, then lock again when the next block begins — all in the background, even with aurrra closed. DAILY GOALS attach goals to a session and you can't end it until they're checked off. turn "i'll stop in five minutes" into actually finishing the thing. HARDCORE MODE for the days you really mean it. once a hardcore session starts, the only way out is a guardian unlock code held by someone you trust. no quitting, no loopholes. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS see where your time actually goes with clean daily and weekly insights, set daily limits on the apps you overuse, and get a nudge when you've been scrolling too long. aurrra is for anyone who's tired of losing hours they meant to spend somewhere else — students, makers, deep workers, and anyone trying to be more present. put the phone down. get in the aurrra. — aurrra requires Screen Time (Family Controls) permission to block apps on your device. your app selection and usage data never leave your phone.
