CTRL vs Solys

CTRL is a focus timer, app blocker, and habit builder in one. The rule is simple: you earn credits by focusing, and you spend them to open the apps that steal your hours. Run out, and the scroll stops until you put in the work. It turns willpower into an economy so you don't have to rely on willpower at all. WHY CTRL WORKS WHEN OTHER FOCUS APPS DON'T Most productivity and screen time apps just block apps and hope you don't switch them off. CTRL doesn't fight your dopamine it puts a price on it. Every distraction costs credits you can only earn through real focused work. That's what makes the habit stick. FOCUS TO EARN • Run focus sessions (25, 50, or 90 minutes) and bank credits • Keep your phone face-down during a session for a +50% bonus • Longer, distraction-free deep work pays the most • Build a daily focus habit and track your time like a pro BLOCK THE APPS THAT EAT YOUR TIME • Shield TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, X and more using Apple Screen Time • Block distracting websites too, so Safari can't reopen the same feeds (Pro) • The most addictive apps cost the most credits to open PAY TO OPEN — EVERY TIME • Before a blocked app opens, CTRL asks why and charges you credits • Every "I'm bored" tap is logged, so you get a real distraction tracker for your worst habits • See your triggers and take back control of your attention RECOVERY MODE FOR THE HARD DAYS • Binge patterns automatically trigger a fairer economy: earn more, spend less • Miss a day and a freeze covers your streak — built to catch the spiral, not punish it HONEST BY DESIGN • Credits are earned by focusing never bought with money • Your Screen Time data never leaves your device. CTRL can't see which apps you use. • No ads. No tracking. No account or login required. MADE FOR Anyone fighting phone addiction, doomscrolling, and procrastination students, founders, writers, remote workers, and anyone who wants focus, productivity, and self-control on their own terms. A focus app, app blocker, screen time limiter, distraction blocker, and habit tracker rolled into one. CTRL PRO Upgrade to block unlimited apps and websites, schedule unlimited unlock windows, and more. Monthly or annual, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan. Use it, but pay for it.

Stop scrolling in bed. Solys is the app blocker that starts when your alarm rings: the apps you choose stay paused, so the first minutes of your day belong to you, not your feeds. You know the pattern. The alarm goes off, you reach for your phone, and one quick check turns into half an hour of doomscrolling. Solys breaks that loop right where it starts. MAKE MORNINGS YOURS • Set your alarm and choose the apps you want to pause: social media or any other app. • When the alarm rings, they stay paused for 30, 45, or 60 minutes. You pick the length. • Add an optional evening curfew so the same apps rest at night, too. • Set a daily intention and see your protected mornings in a weekly view. • Use the in-app emergency unlock when you truly need access. WHO IT’S FOR Anyone who wants to stop doomscrolling, cut down on screen time in bed, or start each day with a dopamine detox, without deleting a single app. HOW IT WORKS Solys uses Apple’s Screen Time permission to pause the apps you select. Apps you do not select remain available. Blocking depends on the permissions you grant on your iPhone. YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE In Settings, you decide whether Solys shares usage statistics.
