CognitiveAnchor vs YourScroll

Your intentions, anchored where you can’t miss them. CognitiveAnchor turns the thing you’re trying to remember into a living presence on your Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Home Screen — so “don’t forget” becomes “can’t forget.” No accounts, no cloud tracking, no clutter. Just a calm, glanceable anchor for what matters right now. WHY IT WORKS Out of sight is out of mind. An Anchor keeps your task visible with a color, an icon, a live countdown, and a subtle animation — the kind of persistent, ambient cue that actually changes behavior instead of buzzing once and disappearing. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Live Activities — watch an Anchor and its countdown live on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Home Screen & Control widgets — start your favorite Anchors in a single tap. • Walk-away failsafe — set an on-device geofence and get a time-sensitive alert if you leave before you’re done. Perfect for the oven, the laundry, a parking meter, or a child in the car. • Countdown timers with early warnings — a heads-up before time runs out, not just after. • One-tap parking — launch Pango, CelloPark, ParkMobile, or EasyPark with a live timer already running. • Ready-made templates — medication, EV charging, deep-focus sessions, baby feeds, watering plants, the oven, laundry, tea, hydration, naps, and more. • Make it yours — pick the icon, color, duration, and animation for every Anchor. • Accessibility built in — color-blind-friendly palettes and full support for six languages (English, Hebrew, Spanish, French, German, Korean). BUILT FOR People with a lot on their mind — parents, students, people with ADHD, shift workers, cooks, EV drivers, and anyone who’s ever walked away from something they meant to finish. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your location never leaves your device — geofencing is handled entirely on-device to power local reminders. No ad tracking. No analytics profiles. Anchors you choose to share travel through your own iCloud. PREMIUM (one-time unlock, no subscription) Upgrade once to run up to four Anchors at the same time, unlock every premium template, and create free-form custom-text Anchors. Includes Restore Purchases; your unlock is yours to keep. Anchor your attention. Finish what you start. Disclaimer of Liability: CognitiveAnchor provides reminders and location-based alerts for convenience and general productivity only. It is **not** a safety, security, medical, or child-monitoring device and must not be relied upon for those purposes. Notifications and geofence alerts depend on your device’s power, connectivity, permissions, and operating-system state, and may be delayed or may not be delivered. Always use appropriate professional judgment and dedicated safety equipment for medication, cooking, childcare, driving, and any situation where a missed reminder could cause harm. Location data is processed on-device for these reminders and is not collected by the developer.

YourScroll blocks the apps you lose hours to, and challenges you to reflect to get them back. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps you want to restrict and a daily limit. When that time is up, they lock. The next time you go to use them, YourScroll gives you a prompt to think about instead. Once you have taken a second to write an answer, you can use your apps freely, or decide you would actually rather get on with your day. There are hundreds of carefully curated prompts across ten categories, including Stoicism, Personal Identity, Creative Writing, Social Media, Relationships and Gratitude. Pick the categories you want to see and ignore the rest. Every entry stays in your own personal scroll, a record of all the times you took a second to use your brain. EXTRA FEATURES - Focus sessions. Need to lock in? Block your chosen apps for as long as you need, at any point in the day. - Bedtime. Schedule your apps to switch off at night and protect your sleep. - Banked time. Write while you still have screen time left and bank up to 20 minutes for later. - Strict Lock. For when you do not trust yourself later. With Strict Lock on, weakening any setting means reproducing a 141 word passage exactly. Any mistakes and you start again. PRIVACY - No account, no sign-up, nothing to log into. - Everything you write stays on your phone, because there is nowhere else for it to go. - YourScroll cannot even see which apps you picked. iOS keeps that to itself. PRICING - Free. - No in-app purchases. - No subscription. - No ads.
