Sqroll turns screen time into something you earn — by living well. Instead of another app that just blocks you, Sqroll gives your scroll a price: the apps that steal your time open to a shield, not a feed. To get back in, you earn it — and every way in makes you healthier. EARN THROUGH A LIFESTYLE Connect Apple Health and your healthy habits become your fuel: • Real workouts earn scroll time minute-for-minute • A 10,000-step day drops a bonus into your balance • Fall asleep by your target bedtime and wake up to more time Prefer to earn on the spot? Do a few squats — the camera counts your reps, no equipment needed. Unused minutes roll over to tomorrow, so you can bank ahead. STAY IN CONTROL A live budget tank shows exactly where your day is going — calm green to over-the-line red — so you always know where you stand. GROW, DON'T ROT When the itch to scroll hits, micro-learn instead. The Learn feed is the good part of a feed with none of the brainrot: mind-bending facts, cultures from around the world, and book summaries you can finish in minutes. MEET BUN Your accountability pet thrives when you move and fades when you scroll — your habits, made impossible to ignore. GO DEEPER • Deep Focus sessions you can't quit early • Hard Mode — apps stay locked, only real effort unlocks them • Streaks, freezes, and weekly & monthly wrapped reports PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your pose data is processed on-device. Health data is used only to credit your scroll time. Scroll less. Know more. Sqroll is a healthier way to be.

NoLen
Read full descriptionHide full description
NoLen is a notes app that turns natural-language writing into schedule candidates you can review and organize. Write as you normally do. NoLen finds dates, times, durations, and recurring plans in your text and presents them as candidates. Check the title, date, time, and type, then add the items you choose to NoLen's calendar. Organize work and personal notes with categories, tags, search, internal links, and subnotes. Select text to create a subnote while keeping its connection to the original note. Attach files and protect notes with device authentication where supported. View notes and schedules together in the calendar view. On Mac, see your notes and calendar in one workspace. Your original content remains plain text, while parsed schedule information is stored separately. Data is stored locally first. When iCloud sync is available in the build and enabled by you, NoLen uses Apple CloudKit. Notifications follow your device permissions. NoLen does not automatically confirm or add schedules. Review each candidate and choose what to add.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NoLen at none against Sqroll's 3. NoLen also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
