Candor vs Scroll Brake

Candor is a AI Note Eighteen AI lenses surface the patterns you'd never see otherwise the themes you keep returning to, the loops you don't notice, the questions you're quietly carrying. Every entry is encrypted with your master password before it leaves the writing surface. No analytics. No cloud-scraping. No support backdoor. Honest writing, in your hands. THE AI HUB Reflect runs your scoped notes through one of these lenses: • Themes — what you keep returning to, ranked by frequency • Recent mind — the 2–3 threads pulling at you this week • Loop — unconscious cycles running through your writing • Salience — what you say you care about vs. what your attention keeps landing on • Contradictions — beliefs you hold that don't fit together • Open questions — the ones you keep asking yourself • What's missing — topics you'd expect to write about but don't • The Outside View — what a stranger reading your journal would assume • Steel Man — the most generous reading of a flaw you keep naming • The Crucible — calibrated challenges at the edge of your capacity • Trajectory — where the next 6–12 months go if nothing changes • Spark for writing — open scenes to write into • Plus: Story, Timeline, Period summary, Growth, Preferences, Key choices Chat with your notes for open-ended dialogue. Map clusters your entries by theme. TWO AIs TO CHOOSE FROM • Apple Intelligence — on-device, fast, included with Backup & Export • Candor AI — cloud, frontier reasoning, included with Bundle Switch any time in Settings. The same notes feed either one. PRIVACY YOU CAN AUDIT Your master password derives a 256-bit key locally with Argon2id. Every entry is sealed with XChaCha20-Poly1305 before it leaves the writing surface. Search runs in memory and forgets. Nothing leaves your phone unless you turn on iCloud sync — and even then, Apple sees ciphertext only. There is no support backdoor. Lose your password and your recovery key, and the data is gone. That's the point. FREE CANDOR INCLUDES • Writing with auto-save • Voice dictation (on-device — Apple Speech and Omnilingual for 100+ languages) • End-to-end encryption • Full-text and semantic search • Categories, widgets, daily reminders • Local-only — no account required SUBSCRIPTIONS • Backup & Export — $2.99/month or $24.99/year Apple Intelligence on-device + Gemini cloud (bring your own API key) + iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac + .ilbk / ZIP / Obsidian export and import. • Bundle — $5.99/month or $49.99/year Everything in Backup, plus Candor AI — our most capable model, server-managed, no API key needed. 7-day free trial on the Bundle.

Scroll Brake helps you manage your screen time and stop opening distracting apps on autopilot. The app's goal is not to strictly ban apps or forcibly restrict your time on social media. The real goal is to turn mindless tapping into a conscious choice rather than an automatic reaction. The concept is straightforward: once your daily limit for an app or website runs out, access is paused behind a quick math problem. To continue using the app, solve the equation in your head. That brief pause gives you just enough time to reset. You can make this conscious choice anywhere — on public transit, in meetings, or in quiet rooms — completely discreetly and without disturbing anyone. No awkward physical exercises, loud alarms, or barcode scanning: just a few seconds of quiet mental focus. If you opened the app out of boredom, you can easily put your phone down. If you genuinely need it for work or communication, solve the puzzle and continue. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps and websites you want to limit. 2. Set your daily time allowance. 3. When time expires, Scroll Brake shields the screen with a math problem. 4. Solve the equation to unlock access. PRO TIP: SPLIT LIMITS & STRICT MODE Instead of one broad 1-hour limit, set a 10-minute session interval and cap daily unlocks at 6 in Strict Mode. You still get that same hour, but every 10 minutes a math puzzle breaks the endless feed hypnosis. Once those 6 unlocks are used up, the app stays firmly locked until tomorrow. KEY FEATURES • Adaptive Math Difficulty Equations adjust to your mental calculation speed. You can calibrate the baseline difficulty during setup — from quick single-step arithmetic to more challenging puzzles. • Strict Mode Need an unyielding barrier? Set a daily cap on unlock attempts. Once you reach it, apps are strictly locked until tomorrow, with no way to solve your way in. • Conscious Choice Anywhere No awkward tasks, loud sounds, or scanning barcodes. Solving an equation in your head takes seconds and allows you to make an intentional choice in any setting — on transit, at work, or at home — without disturbing anyone. • Daily Discipline, No Weekday Exceptions There are deliberately no day-of-week schedules. Bad habits don’t follow a work calendar: restricting screen time Monday to Friday only to binge all weekend won’t break the loop. Scroll Brake keeps your focus consistent every day. • App & Website Limits Limit individual apps, categories, or infinite scroll websites in Safari. • Screen Time Stats Keep track of your daily progress and see how much intentional focus time you gain back each week. • Privacy & Battery Efficiency Built directly on Apple's native Screen Time API: highly optimized, zero background battery drain, and no tracking. All calculations and statistics stay strictly on your device. • Zero Push Notifications Scroll Brake never requests notification permissions. It is built for uninterrupted quiet and focus, so it will never spam you with push alerts, sounds, or reminders. Spend your attention on what genuinely matters. Download Scroll Brake and make phone use intentional again.
