Infinite scroll isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed. Slowth is the patch. WHAT IT DOES Slowth blocks distracting feeds and short-form content in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. You choose what disappears while the useful parts of each site stay available. On iPhone and iPad, optional Real-time Blocking (Beta) can also detect YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels or Stories inside the native apps. Analysis happens on your device with Core ML. WHAT YOU CAN BLOCK IN SAFARI - YouTube Shorts — tabs, shelves, entries, and Shorts URLs - Instagram Reels — plus optional limits for Home, Explore, Stories, and additional Reels surfaces - Facebook Reels and Watch — plus an optional Home feed limit - X — Explore and trending surfaces - TikTok — the entire site Every supported service can also be blocked completely. Each site has its own mode picker, so you stay in control. Turn a mode off whenever you want — unless you deliberately enable Strict mode. STRICT MODE Strict mode locks your blocking choices for 24 hours. It survives restarts and force-quits, so a moment of temptation can't undo the decision you made for yourself. HOW IT WORKS For Safari: 1. Install and open Slowth. 2. Enable Slowth in Settings → Apps → Safari → Extensions. 3. Choose a mode for each supported site in the Slowth app. 4. Browse normally. Slowth hides or redirects the surfaces you blocked. For Real-time Blocking (Beta) on iPhone and iPad: 1. Allow Screen Time access and choose the YouTube or Instagram app. 2. Select Shorts, Reels, or Stories. 3. Start Slowth Realtime Shield from the recording card. Regular app screens remain available while Slowth monitors locally. If selected content is detected, iOS shows the Screen Time shield. The standard red recording indicator remains visible while monitoring is active. No Slowth account or login is required. WHY A SLOTH Sloths move so slowly that algae grows on their fur. That's the opposite of what an engagement algorithm is built to do — which is exactly the point. Meet Moss, our mascot. He's not in a hurry, and he doesn't think you should be either. WHO BUILT IT One independent developer. No venture capital, growth team, or A/B testing department. The biggest platforms use enormous teams to keep people scrolling. Slowth is a small, open-source patch that helps you stop. YOUR ATTENTION IS THE PRODUCT Every second spent scrolling can be sold to an advertiser. The platforms may feel free, but attention is the currency. Slowth steps between you and the part of the feed designed to keep you there. PRIVACY Slowth has no analytics, advertising SDKs, tracking, accounts, or developer-operated backend. We can't see what you browse or block. Settings and cached rules stay in the app's local container. The Safari extension periodically checks a public rules file on GitHub Gist so site fixes can arrive without an app update. No browsing history or page content is sent with that request. Real-time Blocking analyzes screen frames locally. Frames are not uploaded or saved during normal use. The bundled Core ML model and weights are licensed under GPLv3. FREE TO USE All blocking features are free. There is no subscription, paywall, premium tier, or "upgrade to unlock." Optional one-time tips may be offered as a way to support development. They unlock nothing and never change how Slowth works. SUPPORT Questions, bugs, or ideas: denis@malina.page P.S. If you read this far, you're already winning.
Daymark Planner
Read full descriptionHide full description
Daymark is not another generic to‑do list. It’s a structured daily planning system inspired by classic two-page per day paper planners — a methodology used for decades by leaders, executives, and high‑performance professionals. Where most task apps focus on endless lists, Daymark focuses on daily intentionality. Each day is a fresh page. Each task has a status. Each note is tied to real action. And unfinished items are carried forward deliberately, not forgotten. What makes Daymark unique? - A true daily‑page metaphor - Each day is its own “page”, just like a physical planner. Tasks and notes live together, giving you a complete picture of your day. Task statuses: Mark tasks as A/B/C priority, Completed, Delegated, or Forwarded — the same system used in your favorite paper planner. Automatic task forwarding: Unfinished tasks can be intentionally moved to the next day, preserving continuity and preventing forgotten commitments. Linked notes and tasks: Notes aren’t just text — they can reference tasks, decisions, and follow‑ups, creating a traceable record of your thinking. Built for consistency: Daymark encourages a daily planning ritual that builds momentum and reduces cognitive load. Who Daymark is for: - Professionals who want a structured, proven planning system - People who prefer a daily “paper planner” feel - Users who want clarity, not complexity Why it offers lasting value: - Daymark is designed around daily repetition, intentional planning, and long‑term habit formation. It provides: - A consistent workflow - A repeatable daily planning ritual - A system that grows more valuable the more you use it This is not a one‑off utility. It’s a daily companion for personal productivity.
