Norte is a habit tracker and app blocker for iPhone. It helps you build daily habits and routines, block the apps and websites that eat your time, and see how much of your day you got back. Go to the gym more, read every night, drink more water or sleep on time, while Norte keeps social media, short videos and games locked when you need to focus. WHAT DOES NORTE DO? • Habit tracker: check off daily habits, build streaks and see your progress across the whole year • App and website blocker: block apps and sites on a schedule or with daily time limits, using Apple's Screen Time • Focus reports: see your screen time every week, how often you tried to open blocked apps and how much time you saved WHO IS NORTE FOR? • People building better habits and a steady daily routine • People with ADHD, or anyone who gets distracted easily and needs structure that doesn't depend on willpower • Anyone stuck in doomscrolling who wants less screen time • Students and remote workers who need real focus time, without feeds pulling them away HOW DOES THE HABIT TRACKER WORK? Add the habits you want to build, like exercise, reading, meditation, water or sleep. Check them off each day and watch your streak grow. Set reminders for the time that works for you, add a widget to your home screen, and look back at a year view of every day you showed up. Missed a day? Just pick it up again tomorrow. HOW DOES THE APP BLOCKER WORK? Pick the apps and websites that distract you the most, like Instagram, TikTok or YouTube. Then choose how Norte blocks them: • Schedules: block social media during work, study time or before bed • Daily limits: allow 30 minutes of an app, then it locks for the rest of the day • Hard Mode: once a block starts, you can't turn it off early Blocking runs on Apple's Screen Time, so it keeps working even when Norte is closed. IS NORTE GOOD FOR ADHD? Norte was designed with ADHD brains in mind. Blocks start on their own, so there's nothing to remember to switch on. Reminders nudge you at the right moment, and checking in takes a few taps a day. Norte isn't a medical app and doesn't replace treatment. It gives you outside structure so focus takes less effort. CAN NORTE HELP ME STOP DOOMSCROLLING? Yes. Set a daily limit or a schedule for the apps where you lose the most time, turn on Hard Mode, and the endless scroll is no longer one tap away. Your weekly report shows how many times you reached for your phone and how many hours you got back. HOW DO I KNOW IT'S WORKING? • Weekly focus reports with your screen time breakdown and usage patterns • Blocked opens and time saved, week by week • Streaks and a full year of habit progress in one view IS MY DATA PRIVATE? Yes. You don't need an account. Your habits stay on your iPhone and Norte doesn't sell your data. Screen Time data is handled by Apple and never leaves your device. You can back up and move everything to a new iPhone. HOW DO I START? 1. Add the habits you want to build 2. Pick the apps and websites to block 3. Set a schedule or a daily limit, then go live your day FREE AND NORTE PRO Norte is free to start with 3 habits and 1 focus rule. Norte Pro unlocks unlimited habits, unlimited focus rules and every Pro feature, with monthly, yearly or lifetime plans. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.

TRUSSQUANT

TRUSSQUANT is the fastest way for construction and trade contractors to know exactly what tools, equipment, and materials they have — and where they are — without a spreadsheet, a whiteboard, or a guess. Point your camera at a QR code or barcode tag to check a tool out, check it back in, transfer it between job sites, or log material usage in seconds. TRUSSQUANT works out of the box with poor or no signal, so a job site with no bars is never a reason to skip logging a transaction — every scan is saved on your device immediately and syncs automatically the moment you're back online. KEY FEATURES • Scan to act — Point your camera at any QR or barcode tag to instantly see an asset's status and log a transaction. No signal? No problem — scanning and logging work fully offline. • Batch mode — Loading a truck with a dozen tools before heading to a job site? Scan them all in one pass, then check them all out to the same job or crew in a single confirmation. • Built for both tools and materials — Serialized tools and equipment get individual check-out/check-in/transfer tracking. Bulk materials (fasteners, consumables) get simple consume/restock logging by quantity — no forced "check out one screw." • Manual fallback — Tag damaged or missing? Search for any asset by name or tag number instead of scanning. • Live status dashboard — See what's at every location and who's holding what, right now, grouped however makes sense to you. • My Items — Every foreman and crew member can see exactly what's currently checked out to them, and check it back in with one tap. • Automatic alerts — Get notified the moment a material runs low on stock, or a tool stays checked out longer than it should — before it becomes a real problem. • Condition photos — Attach a photo to any transaction to document an item's condition at check-out or check-in. • Role-based access — Admins, Managers, Supervisors, and Field Workers each see exactly what they need for their job. TRUSSQUANT is built specifically for construction, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and general trade contractors who are tired of tools disappearing and materials running out mid-job. Stop guessing what you have. Start knowing.
