Luma vs TaskGate

Do real life before you scroll. Tired of losing 4+ hours every day to doomscrolling? Willpower alone is no match for social media algorithms. Luma flips the script: screen time is no longer a default—it’s a reward you earn through real-life action. Protect your focus on a schedule With Scheduled Blocks in Luma Plus, choose the apps, days, and start and end times for your focus routine. Create a daily plan, repeat it on selected weekdays, or choose a specific date. Luma automatically blocks your selected apps during that window. Make separate plans for study, work, or winding down. Edit the hours, pause a plan when you need to, and optionally receive notifications when a scheduled block starts and ends. Requires Screen Time access. How Luma works: 1. Choose Distracting Apps: Pick the social, video, and gaming apps you want to protect. 2. Complete Real-Life Quests: Do push-ups, stretch, read, study, or finish a focus session. 3. Earn Screen Time Credits: Your camera or timer verifies your effort and awards time credits. 4. Unlock & Enjoy: Spend your earned minutes guilt-free. When time runs out, Luma locks them automatically. What makes Luma different: • Camera and Pose Tracking: Real-time tracking counts your push-ups and guides your stretching sessions. No cheating—earn your screen time through real movement! • Interactive Daily Quests: Express gratitude in a 3-point journal, take a 3-minute rhythm dance break, or take a photo touching grass outside. • Focus Timer & Pomodoro: Need deep work or study time? Start a focus block and stack minutes for later. • 1-Minute Unlock Warning: Never get cut off mid-scroll without notice. • Streak Freeze & Star Quests: Build daily momentum without fear of losing your streak on busy days. Block distractions, not your life: • Native Screen Time Integration: Built strictly on Apple’s Screen Time controls. • 100% Private: Luma never reads your messages, browsing history, or personal data.

TaskGate locks your most distracting apps behind a gate. The gate opens when today's tasks are done — and not a moment earlier. No timer you can dismiss. No screen you can swipe past. TaskGate uses Apple's own Screen Time controls, so when an app is blocked, it is blocked. HOW IT WORKS 1. Write down what you want to get done today. 2. Choose the apps that steal your time. 3. They stay locked until every task is checked off. At midnight the gate closes again, whether you open TaskGate or not. Tomorrow is a fresh contract. REAL APP BLOCKING Powered by Apple Screen Time. A blocked app shows a TaskGate screen telling you how many tasks are still left today. STRICT MODE For the days you mean it. While the gate is locked, today's tasks can't be deleted or pushed to tomorrow, and blocking can't be switched off. One emergency pass a day opens your apps for 15 minutes after a 10-minute wait — enough for something urgent, not enough to skip the day. FOCUS TIMERS Give a task a duration — study for an hour, read for thirty minutes. Start the timer and the task checks itself off when the time is up. Closing the app doesn't stop the clock. ROUTINES Tasks that repeat every day, on weekdays, or on the days you pick. They appear on your list each morning, automatically. PLAN AHEAD Schedule tasks for future days. When that day arrives, the gate arms itself. Tap any task to change it, and drag to reorder. STREAKS Every day you finish your list adds to your streak. Days without tasks are rest days and don't break it. Tap the number for a calendar of the days you kept and the days you missed. WIDGETS Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show whether the gate is open, how many tasks remain, and how long your streak is. IPHONE, IPAD AND IPHONE DUO On a big screen, Today and Planned sit side by side. REMINDERS An optional evening nudge, plus a reminder time on any individual task. PRIVACY TaskGate collects nothing. There is no account, no sign-up, no analytics, and no ads. Your tasks stay on your device. The apps you choose to block are handled by iOS itself — Apple's Screen Time API hands apps opaque tokens rather than names, so TaskGate never learns which apps you picked or what you do in them. LANGUAGES English, Turkish, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Arabic and Indonesian. TaskGate needs Screen Time permission to block apps. Unless Strict mode is on, you can turn blocking off at any time.
