BrainRest

The brain you end the day with is not the one you woke up with. BrainRest turns your screen time into something you can actually feel. Your Brain Level climbs from 1 to 10 as the hours pile up โ€” Fresh, Chill, Meh, Tired, Struggling, Fading, Cooked, Fried, Melting, Dead โ€” and a Brain Buddy sits on your home screen looking exactly as cooked as you do. Then it helps you bring the number back down. BrainRest requires a subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase. There is no free tier and no free version โ€” every feature described below, including app blocking, Focus Mode and the Bedtime Schedule, needs a paid plan. The annual plan starts with a 7-day free trial. SEE WHERE THE HOURS GO โ€ข Daily and weekly screen time, broken down app by app โ€ข Tap any app for its own hourly chart and week-over-week trend โ€ข A calendar of every tracked day, so streaks and slides are obvious โ€ข Your Brain Level, recalculated as you use your phone BLOCK WHAT KEEPS PULLING YOU BACK โ€ข App limits โ€” set a daily cap and get shielded when you hit it โ€ข Focus Mode โ€” one tap, distractions locked, with an auto turn-off time โ€ข Bedtime Schedule โ€” your phone goes quiet at night and wakes when you do โ€ข Shields you can't swipe past by accident WIDGETS THAT NAG, GENTLY Seven home-screen widgets: Brain Buddy, the Daily Goal ring, Top Apps, and Pulse in single, stacked and wide layouts. The number you're avoiding, right where you keep looking. YOUR USAGE STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Screen time and per-app usage are read from your device and never leave it. There is no cloud copy of your usage and nothing about your habits is sold. Your account exists to keep your settings and goals, nothing more. WHY IT WORKS Most screen time apps show you a chart and hope you feel bad. BrainRest gives the number a face and a consequence, then puts the block one tap away โ€” at the exact moment you would have opened the app anyway. The average person spends over four hours a day on their phone. That is roughly sixty days a year. BrainRest is the plan to take some of it back. PRICING A paid plan is required to use BrainRest. Nothing is sold separately and no feature costs extra โ€” every plan includes everything described above. โ€ข Monthly โ€” $9.00 per month โ€ข Annual โ€” $69.00 per year, starting with a 7-day free trial โ€ข Lifetime โ€” $199.00, a one-time purchase that never renews Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the period. Manage your plan or turn off auto-renew in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased. โ€”โ€” Terms of Use: https://brainrest.pro/terms Privacy Policy: https://brainrest.pro/privacy

Record the meeting. Ask Claude what happened. Air Note is a meeting recorder for the conversations you have in person. Open the app, tap record and put the phone down โ€” nothing joins the call, and there's nothing to explain to the person across the table. By the time you walk out, you have clear notes, decisions and next steps, without writing anything down. Connect it to Claude once, and Claude can answer from everything you've recorded โ€” in any chat, without pasting anything in. No bot in the room Air Note records in person, on your iPhone. No meeting bot dials in, no link to send, nothing for the other person to agree to. It works for the meetings that bot-notetakers can't reach โ€” the ones that happen face to face. Walk out with the details Every recording becomes a clean, readable note: a summary, the decisions that were made, and the next steps to take. It's ready by the time the meeting ends, so you can stay in the conversation instead of taking minutes. Claude knows what happened Connect Air Note to Claude in a few steps. From then on, Claude can answer from everything you've recorded โ€” ask it what you agreed in a meeting, what someone committed to, or what you need to follow up on, right inside your normal Claude chats. Everything in one place - Record meetings, voice notes and ideas - Notes, decisions and next steps for every recording - Organise your notes into folders - Search across every recording and note - A today view for what you captured Air Note Pro unlocks unlimited recording and asking Claude about your meetings. Cancel anytime. Air Note is built for people who run their work through Claude, and want the meetings that happen away from the keyboard to be there too.
