You open social media for one quick check. Half an hour later, you’re still scrolling. ScrollKick helps stop that moment before it happens — without forcing you to quit social media. Set a Session Limit to keep each visit short. Add a Daily Limit, Blocked Hours, or Always Blocked when you want stronger boundaries. BREAK THE SCROLL, NOT YOUR SOCIAL LIFE When a limit is reached, ScrollKick interrupts the scroll. Choose how hard it should be to continue with four protection levels — from a short mindful pause to stronger protection. Temporary access ends automatically, and the app returns to protection. KEY FEATURES • Session limits for each scrolling session • Daily limits and blocked hours • Always Blocked for selected apps • Four protection levels • Custom pause and access timers • Strict Mode for stronger commitment • Screen-time insights • Kick Points and progress tracking Start free with essential protection for one app. ScrollKick Pro unlocks more apps, stronger protection, custom timers, Strict Mode, and extended insights.

About

TODO.md

Features
Read full description

TODO.md is a dopamine to-do list for ADHD brains - a wrapper for Markdown files to keep all tasks with notes you already have. Choose a folder of markdown files. An Obsidian vault works; so does any other notes folder. Each file with checkbox tasks becomes a list. Folder structure stays as it is on disk. Checking a task, dragging to reorder, and adding a line write back to that file. The files remain the source of truth. - Clickable home-screen widget that pages through your task list - A calendar mirror for tasks with a due date - Capture from Siri and get Reminders into the note you choose - Optional dictation for task and feedback text There is no account or import step. Files stay where you put them, including iCloud Drive. Optional feedback uses our support service without uploading your vault. By default, a file lists when its frontmatter includes the tag `todo`. You can change or turn off that filter in Settings.
