Focus without willpower. Aegis blocks distracting apps at the OS level — enforced by iOS, not by resolve. Choose which apps to block, set a duration, and start. For that time, those apps are inaccessible. The name comes from the Greek aigis — the divine shield of Zeus and Athena. Impenetrable, elemental, the symbol of absolute protection. Aegis does the same for your attention. THE NFC RITUAL Pair any standard NFC tag and tap it to begin a session. Tap it again to end. The physical tap matters — a deliberate gesture rather than another button on a screen. The tag is optional; the app works without it. WHAT AEGIS DOESN'T DO No streaks. No session history. No scores. No notifications outside a session. No social features. The reward is the work — not a number on a screen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Aegis Guard at 5.0 against MiiraSound's 4.5. Aegis Guard also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). MiiraSound's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
