Read full description

Solhora is not another to-do list app. Most productivity tools do the same thing: make you list more tasks, count your broken streaks, and pile up everything you haven't finished into a wall of debt. Solhora doesn't do that. Solhora is an AI co-pilot that walks you through your day. [MORNING: FIGURE OUT WHAT MATTERS] Open Solhora and tell it what's bouncing around in your head. It helps you sort through the noise, then asks: how's your energy today? Low energy means one thing. High energy means three. You pick. It doesn't judge. [DAYTIME: STAY WITH YOU] Your picks show up on the Today page. When you're stuck, Solhora asks one question β€” not ten. When you have a free moment, tap "I have time" and it pulls up small tasks that fit your window β€” 5 minutes, 15 minutes, whatever you've got. [EVENING: SEE WHAT YOU DID] Solhora will never tell you how many tasks you didn't finish. It only shows you what you completed. Every finished task gets its own completion card β€” a photo you take or one Solhora generates for you. [LATE NIGHT: CATCH YOUR THOUGHTS] Something pops into your head at 2 AM? Tell Solhora. It writes it down and reminds you in the morning. No follow-ups. No judgment. No conversation. [MONTHLY WAREHOUSE] Things that aren't due today but need to happen this month β€” toss them in the warehouse. Solhora reminds you three days before they're due. How Solhora is designed: 3 tasks a day = victory Maximum 2 notifications per day No streak punishment No "you missed X tasks" Unfinished tasks don't auto-roll to tomorrow Numbers celebrate. They never measure gaps.

About

TapLock

TapLock turns a physical NFC card into the only key that unlocks your apps. Tap your card to lock your iPhone's distracting apps behind a Screen Time shield. To get them back, you have to physically tap the card again. The card has to be in your hand. Without it, the only ways back in are slow by design. HOW IT WORKS Choose which apps to block, then tap "Lock Now" Apps stay blocked until you tap your registered NFC card to the top of your phone Need a break? Pause the session and it picks up right where you left off Allow yourself a few short breaks without the card, if you want them (off by default) Set a timer to auto-unlock after a focus session ends WHAT CARDS WORK Any NFC card you already carry: transit cards, hotel keys, student IDs, office keycards, or cheap NFC stickers. If your iPhone can read it, TapLock can use it. FEATURES NFC card unlock, tap to lock, tap to unlock Timed locks with auto-unlock countdown Pause and resume a session without losing your remaining time Optional card-free breaks, up to 3 per lock, off by default Custom blocking profiles, block specific apps and websites or allow only a selected few Lock Now widget and Control Center button, lock in one tap without opening the app Siri and Shortcuts, start a lock by voice or build automations by time, place or Focus Multiple cards supported, each with its own name Block app deletion while locked so you can't cheat by uninstalling Session stats, see your total focus time and how long your last session ran Live Activity and Dynamic Island timer visible from your lock screen Your cards and settings sync across your devices via iCloud Remote Key, unlock a family iPad or second iPhone by tapping your card on your own iPhone Native iPad app with a landscape layout REMOTE KEY AND IPAD Lock a family iPad or a second iPhone, then open it by tapping your card on your own iPhone. Both devices just need the same Apple ID. iPads have no NFC reader, so they pair as a kept device and are always opened from your iPhone. EMERGENCY ACCESS Lost your card? A 6-digit PIN still unlocks, but slowly: every PIN unlock ends with a short puzzle, and with a card registered the PIN works 5 times per 30 days on each device. After that, a 24-hour emergency unlock is always offered, so you are never locked out for good. On an iPhone with no card registered yet, the PIN is not limited. TapLock does not replace your iPhone's lock screen. It uses Apple's Screen Time framework to shield apps while your phone stays accessible for calls and emergencies. Free 7-day trial. One-time purchase. No subscription, ever. Terms of Use: https://www.aimakecoolstuff.com/legal/taplock/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.aimakecoolstuff.com/legal/taplock/privacy
