Haserupt vs ScreenFox

You opened Instagram to reply to a message, opened X to check one notification, opened Reddit to look up one thing. Then, somehow, thirty minutes disappeared. Most screen time apps try to solve this with blockers, timers, or daily limits. They assume the problem is that these apps are too accessible. But that’s rarely what happens. You didn’t intend to spend half an hour scrolling. Somewhere along the way, your intention changed. Haserupt helps you hold on to that intention. Before opening a distracting app, Hase asks what you’re there to do. Whether you’re replying to messages, checking updates, or posting something, Hase gives you just enough time to finish your task. Afterwards, he helps you resist the urge to jump right back in, making it easier to avoid another endless scrolling session. It doesn’t stop you from using your favourite apps. It helps you stop using them without meaning to. Over time, Hase gets to know your habits, celebrates your progress, and gently nudges you back on track whenever your attention starts to drift. Instead of feeling like another app that’s trying to control you, Hase feels like a companion who’s quietly cheering you on. With Haserupt, you can: • Leave social media when you planned to. • Spend less time falling into endless feeds. • Stay connected without relying on strict blockers or daily limits. • Build healthier screen habits that actually last. • See your relationship with your phone improve over time. Because the problem was never opening the app. It was forgetting why you opened it in the first place. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

ScreenFox helps you reduce screen time by caring for a virtual fox whose wellbeing reflects your digital habits. The more mindfully you use distracting apps, the happier your fox becomes. Excessive scrolling makes it sad, and when it runs out of energy, distracting apps stay locked until tomorrow or until you help it recover through focused work. The Digital Fox Companion: At the center of ScreenFox is a virtual fox companion that reflects the user’s digital wellbeing. The fox has hearts that decrease when opening selected apps. Its emotional state changes based on remaining hearts: - Plenty of hearts: The fox is happy and smiling - Some hearts: The fox appears neutral - No hearts: The fox becomes sad and starts crying When no hearts are left, access to restricted apps is blocked for the rest of the day. Daily Limits & Reset System: Users define which apps to manage and set daily hearts. - Once there are no hearts left, access to selected apps is restricted for the day - Every unlock of restricted apps consumes a heart to use for a user-defined session length - At the end of each day, hearts reset to amount of hearts set This system encourages more intentional and mindful app usage. Focus Sessions: Focus sessions help users regain control and restore balance: - Restricted apps are blocked during focus time - Completing a focus session restores hearts - Restored hearts allow additional restricted app unlocks This creates a positive loop between focus and digital freedom. Additional Features: ScreenFox also includes tools to reduce impulsive behavior: - App launch delay before opening restricted apps - Session duration limits with reminders during extended usage These features encourage reflection and break automatic usage patterns. Motivation System: To support long-term habit building, the app includes: - Daily streaks - Tasks and achievements - XP and leveling system Users are rewarded for consistent mindful usage. User Control: All restrictions are fully user-defined and can be changed at any time. ScreenFox is designed to support awareness and self-regulation, not enforce control.
