Read full description

SELECT is a hyper-minimalist launcher app designed to free you from home-screen information overload and "choice fatigue". It was built to reduce cognitive load and improve daily efficiency for people with ADHD and anyone losing time to app hunting or notification surfing. ■ Why "minimalist"? The average iPhone home screen has 80+ apps lined up. "Wait, where was that one?" "I tried to open this, but got distracted by something else..." These "tiny decision fatigues that happen every time you look" quietly chip away at a day's worth of focus. SELECT solves this by surfacing only the apps you actually need right now in a widget, so you can: ・stop hunting ・stop hesitating ・stop having unnecessary icons enter your visual field ■ Designed around ADHD cognitive patterns The developer is openly an ADHD-diagnosed person and built this for their own daily-life ergonomics first. Individual experiences vary, but ADHD users and their families have found the following points especially helpful: ・Limited choices: each tab shows only the "do-it-now" apps, capping information processed at one glance ・Mode switching: switch entire app sets per situation ("Out", "Work", "Night"), making it possible to physically hide social apps during focus time ・Minimal app-to-app jump: tile tap routes directly to the target app via Shortcuts — SELECT itself never appears on screen ・Text mode: hide icons entirely for a pure text list, cutting visual noise even further * ADHD is a medical diagnosis. This app is not intended as treatment. It is positioned as a daily-life efficiency aid for users who self-identify with these traits. ■ 5 tabs to organise life scenes ・Receive: things that come to you (email, messages) ・Record: things you write or save (notes, photos, calendar) ・Communicate: things you broadcast (social, calls) ・Settings: device and service preferences ・Enjoy: entertainment (video, music, games) Create a mode that hides the "Enjoy" tab to fully shut out distractions during work hours. ■ Key features 【One-tap launch】 Tap a tile and the target app opens directly — SELECT never gets in the way. 【Bulk operations】 Select multiple items → Delete / Move / Copy. Drag-to-select works the same way as Apple's Files app. 【Per-mode display preferences】 Each mode owns its own "show app icons" and "hide Enjoy tab" toggles. Focus mode and leisure mode become fully separable. ・Light / Dark / Match-device widget colour ・Designed to remain readable under iOS 18's "Tinted" Home Screen mode ・App artwork keeps its original colour even when the system tint is applied ・Multiple modes (scene-specific home screens) ・Sub-categories (folders) ・iCloud sync (auto-syncs across your Apple devices) ■ Best for ・People overwhelmed by too many apps on the home screen ・ADHD users who struggle with searching or get distracted easily ・Anyone who wants to hide social media from view during focus time ・People who switch app sets between scenes (Out / Work / Night, etc.) ・Minimalist or digital-minimalism enthusiasts ■ Pricing ・All features are free to use ・Ads appear below the editor and when you switch tabs ・Buy "Remove Ads" once to stop seeing ads (not a subscription) ・If you got the app while it was paid, you won't see ads ■ Languages Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Arabic ■ Privacy ・No account needed. Your lineups are stored on your device and in iCloud (if you use sync) ・Firebase Authentication (anonymous) is used to count users, and Google Mobile Ads to show ads ・No analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) ■ Requirements iOS 17.0 or later, iPhone / iPad (Large home-screen widget supported).

About

RoadPact

Read full description

12 households share your road. Who owes what for the new culvert? When was the last grading, and how much did it cost? If your private road is run on a stack of spreadsheets, emails, and "I think we agreed last spring," RoadPact is for you. RoadPact keeps the records for a shared private road - members, cost-sharing, meetings, and maintenance - all on your iPhone. Built for the volunteer who actually keeps the books for a private road association or shared-driveway group. WHAT ROADPACT DOES - Member roster - every parcel, owner, frontage, and share - Assessment calculator - split a maintenance cost across parcels by frontage, equal share, or usage, automatically - Shared-cost ledger - record who owes what and who has paid (recordkeeping only; RoadPact does not process payments) - Maintenance log - grading, culverts, snowplowing, gravel, drainage, repairs, with vendor and cost - Meeting minutes and vote records - annual and special meetings - A records PDF you can hand to a lender, a buyer, your accountant, or your attorney WHY ROADPACT When you sell or refinance on a private road, your lender often wants a recorded road maintenance agreement and a history of upkeep. When a neighbor disputes a bill, you want the meeting minutes and the math. Generic split-the-bill apps don't know that Maine and California treat private-road cost-sharing differently. RoadPact keeps it all in one place. WHAT ROADPACT IS NOT - NOT legal advice, and NOT a substitute for an attorney - The records it creates are NOT a legally recorded agreement - NOT affiliated with any town, county, road commission, or DOT - NOT a payment service - it never moves money PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your records live on this iPhone. No account to make. No cloud. Face ID lock is available whenever you want it. FOR EVERYONE 1 road, up to 4 parcels, a basic maintenance log, one assessment calculation, and a next-meeting reminder. WITH PRO $14.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, or a single $39.99 Lifetime purchase. Pro adds: - Assessment calculator - split a cost across parcels by frontage, equal share, or usage. - Shared-cost ledger - record who owes what and who has paid (recordkeeping only; no payments). - Meeting minutes and vote records for annual and special meetings. - Full maintenance log - grading, culverts, snowplow, gravel, repairs, with vendor and cost. - Records PDF packet for a lender, buyer, accountant, or attorney. - Unlimited roads and parcels - no 1-road, 4-parcel cap. - State private-road-law reference (Maine SRA, California Civil Code 845, and more). - Home screen widgets - next meeting and outstanding assessments. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. The Lifetime option is a single purchase with no auto-renewal. Important Data Notice: RoadPact stores all data locally on your iPhone. The app does not include built-in data export, import, or backup features beyond records-PDF generation. Your data is included in iOS Backups (iCloud Backup or Finder/iTunes backups) when those are enabled. If you delete RoadPact without an iOS Backup available, your data will be permanently lost. iPhone-only, by design.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: RoadPact at none against SELECT's shown. SELECT's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
