Write why. Check if you did. Intenty is an intention journal for digital self-awareness. When you open a watched app, you write why you’re opening it and for how long. When time is up, Intenty asks whether you followed through — feeding your honesty rate and streak. This is not another generic app blocker. Blocking is only the trigger. The product is reflection: a private journal, insights, weekly summaries, and accountability check-ins. FEATURES: • Written Intentions: Capture your reason, duration, and optional mood before using a watched app. • Honesty Check-Ins: When your stated time ends, confirm if you stuck to your intention. • Reflection Journal: Every intention is saved and grouped by app on your device. • Intention Insights: Top apps, reasons, peak times, moods, and honesty rate. • Honesty & Reflection Streaks: Build daily momentum around pausing with purpose. • Weekly Reflection: A 7-day summary of patterns and follow-through. • Quick Reason Templates: Reuse common intentions faster. • Focus Schedules: Choose when intention prompts are active. • Productive Redirects: Optionally open Kindle, Spotify, Duolingo, and more after your intention. • Intenty Pro: Advanced insights, schedules, and an ad-free experience.

When did you last change the air filter? Water the succulents? Call your mom? Ago answers one question: how long has it been? Tap once to reset. That's it. THE GAP BETWEEN A TO-DO LIST AND A CALENDAR Not a streak tracker. Not a to-do list. Ago lives in the gap between both - for things with a rough cadence you want to honor, not a fixed schedule. Car tires. The dentist. The friend you keep meaning to call. Plants that need water every couple of weeks or so. NO GUILT TRIPS. JUST THE NUMBER. Ago shows you how long it's been and gets out of the way. No judgment. No chain to break. No notifications nagging you. Open it when you want to know. The "three months?!" moment is the whole product. You see the number, you decide what to do about it. ALWAYS ONE GLANCE AWAY - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show the live elapsed time, counting up in real time - Log something done right from the widget, without opening the app - A soft deadline turns a card overdue when it's been too long - a quiet cue, never an alarm BUILT TO BE EXACT, NOT FUZZY - See the precise time since you last did it, down to the day - Open any item for a monthly calendar of its history - Give each thing an icon and a color so the list reads at a glance WHAT PEOPLE TRACK WITH AGO - Home maintenance: air filter, furnace, gutters - Plant care and watering - Car service and tires - Medication and supplements - Friends and family: how long since you called? - Pet grooming and vet visits SIMPLE AND PRIVATE No accounts. No ads. Nothing to sign in to, nothing to manage. Your data syncs privately across your devices with iCloud, and stays yours. PAY ONCE. KEEP FOREVER. One-time purchase unlocks everything. No subscription. Ever. Pick a color, choose an icon, set a soft deadline, and Ago tells you when something's been a while. No alarm, no nag. Just a card that says it's time.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Ago at none against Intenty's shown. Ago also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.6). Intenty's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
