Mononote vs Get Off the Line

Mononote helps you focus on one note at a time. Simply open the app and write down anything you want your future self to remember, whether it's a to-do, reminder, or motivational note. Keep it visible on your Home Screen with a widget, or start a Live Activity to pin it to your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island when it's something more urgent. The app is intentionally simple, showing only one active note at a time. Archive or delete it when you're done, and a new blank note is ready for whatever comes next. Archived notes can always be restored if you need them again. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Limit screen time by putting a '90s modem in front of distracting apps. Your chosen apps are blocked by default; dial up to unblock. Don't take too long! You're tying up the phone line and running up the bill (yes, there is one). THE MODEM Dial up for 3, 10 or 15 minutes at a time. Going online takes about 30 seconds, anticipation building as the modem cheerfully blinks, chirps and warbles just as you (or your parents) remember. It also… vibrates? THE PHONE BILL Every dial-up is added to the phone bill, shown front and centre (and optionally as a home screen widget). The currency? Only your time. This helps you be intentional about how often you use distracting apps, and for how long. FEW FEATURES, DONE RIGHT You dial up, and the phone bill shows your usage. See remaining session time in the Dynamic Island and on the lock screen. Push notifications let you know when time's up, or nearly up. There's not much more to it. SOME SELF-CONTROL REQUIRED The app assumes you can be trusted to manage it. Pause all blocking with a few taps when you need to, or change the set of blocked apps – it's not locked down. NO SUBSCRIPTION The free app has 3-minute dial-ups. You can pay once to unlock 10- and 15-minute dial-ups. That's it.
