Boot Up Focus vs Nota6

Make your distracting apps boot up like heavy video games, so you don't accidentally start scrolling whenever you have a second to spare. When you tap TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, or any app you choose, Boot Up intercepts the launch and runs a boot sequence. A loading bar. Compile messages. A few seconds of nothing. Break the habit of opening addictive apps instantly. How it works: - Reaching for TikTok at breakfast You unlock your phone and tap the icon out of habit. Instead of an endless scroll, you get a 30 second Boot Up screen. What might've turned into an 15 minute accidental doomscroll is now a conscious decision to boot up your app. - Doomscrolling in bed You open Reddit at 11pm "just to check." Reddit starts booting up. You decide you are too tired before it finishes booting up. You lock the phone and go to sleep. - Actual break time You actually have a moment to scroll. You wait for Instagram to boot up and start your scroll. After 10 minutes your grace period is reached and Boot Up shuts down Instagram. You are always in control: - Pick exactly which apps to lock - Set the boot duration from 5 seconds to 5 minutes - Set the grace period, how long the app stays open after unlocking - Optional boot time and grace period per app What Boot Up is not: - Not a subscription. It is free, forever. No premium tier, no trial. - Not a tracker. Zero analytics. No network requests. Your app choices never leave your phone. - Not a guilt machine. No streaks. No shame. No motivational quotes. Just friction. - Not closed source. Source code is on GitHub. Instead of relying on willpower every time you pick up your phone, add a few seconds of friction so distraction becomes the harder choice. Set it up once. Tap the icon. Wait through the boot. Feel better about your scroll. github.com/eliguzz/BootUp

Reader-first Markdown app for the AI era — with a built-in Reference Library so it's useful the moment you open it. BUILT-IN LIBRARY (12 references, all offline) The welcome screen has a "Browse Library" button. Tap it and you have 12 curated documents available immediately, in English and Simplified Chinese: • Markdown / GFM syntax references • Mermaid Diagram Gallery — 10 diagram types (flowchart, sequence, class, state, ER, gantt, pie, mindmap, timeline, git graph), each with source + rendered output • KaTeX Math Reference — symbols, operators, matrices, common formulas • Code Highlighting Gallery — Swift, Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, SQL, and more (190+ languages bundled) • Reading AI-Generated Markdown — four shapes of agent output and how to read each • CLAUDE.md & AGENTS.md spec — how AI-instruction files work • README Patterns, Design Doc & RFC Patterns • Nota6 Tips & Tricks, iPad Keyboard Shortcuts, Themes Showcase These aren't placeholders — they're useful reading material for anyone who works with AI coding assistants and the .md files they produce. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT FROM A BROWSER • Mermaid diagrams, KaTeX math, syntax-highlighted code, all rendered offline. No network requests during rendering. Safari Reader can't do Mermaid; Nota6 can. • Auto-refresh on file change with smart scroll anchoring: when an external editor rewrites the file, the preview re-renders in place and stays at the same heading even if the document length shifts. • Open files from anywhere via the system share sheet, Files, iCloud Drive, or the "Open in Nota6" action. iOS-NATIVE INTEGRATIONS • Shortcuts / App Intents: "Open Markdown File" and "Export Markdown as HTML" are first-class Shortcuts actions. Automate from Siri or your iPad keyboard. • iCloud sync: your theme, font, width, and Custom-theme colors follow you across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. • Workspace full-text search (⌘⇧F) across an entire folder of .md files. • Bookmark self-heal: if AI tooling renames or moves files in your workspace, Nota6 reattaches by content fingerprint instead of breaking. • Deep links: nota6://open?path=...&heading=... jumps to a specific heading. READING EXPERIENCE • Quick Edit: switch to Source, correct raw Markdown, and save with Command-S on a hardware keyboard. Nota6 preserves the original encoding, BOM, and line endings, and warns before overwriting external changes. • 5 themes: GitHub · Paper · Notion · Terminal · Custom. Custom lets you pick body + monospace fonts and 4 colors (background, text, heading, code block) right inside the app. • 4 font sizes, 3 reading widths, Light / Dark / Auto appearance. • Outline panel with live filter and scroll-synced active heading; floating breadcrumb when the outline is closed. • Per-file reading-progress dots in the workspace sidebar. • Click-to-zoom for Mermaid diagrams and images; long-press to Copy or Save as PNG. iPAD HARDWARE KEYBOARD Full shortcut set: ⌘O · ⇧⌘O · ⌘F · ⌘P · ⌥⌘O · ⌘R · ⌘[ / ⌘] · ⌘W. Press-and-hold ⌘ for the discoverability HUD. EXPORT PDF or self-contained HTML via the system share sheet — straight to Files, Mail, Slack, Notion, or any other destination. PRIVACY No analytics. No third-party SDKs. No network requests unless the document itself references remote images. Rendering libraries (KaTeX, Mermaid, highlight.js) are bundled offline. English + Simplified Chinese.
