Island is a different kind of screen time app. Most screen time apps are a variation on the same theme: a wall that shows up when you open an app that either makes you wait or locks you out. Island aims to help you build self-discipline within yourself. It’ll never block your apps or nanny you. Instead, you are given charge of your own island that you take care of by sticking to your limits and staying off the apps you don’t enjoy spending time on. Add friends, visit each other’s islands and keep each other accountable. As you stay on track, you build a credit score which increases the production level of your farm and makes unlocking new crops, animals and content faster. But beware, going over your limit causes storms that can wreak havoc on your island. Screen Time Features: - Set a daily limit for the apps you want to block - Get warnings before you cross the line - See your friends’ usage and keep each other in check Island: - How on track you are determines the weather on your island, beware of storms - Grow cucumbers, strawberries, bananas and more! - Build and decorate your island EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Reps is a workout checklist. Open it at the gym, see today's exercises with sets and reps, check them off. That's the whole app, on purpose. PASTE THE WORKOUT YOU ALREADY HAVE Most people keep their routine in Notes. Copy it, paste it into Reps, and it turns into a checklist: days, exercises, sets and reps, ready to tick. No retyping, no picking from a database. OR FOLLOW SOMEONE'S Creators publish their real split in Reps. Search their handle, tap Follow, and their exact plan is yours to run and edit. OR PICK A PRESET Four splits built on training research: Push Pull Legs, Upper Lower, Full Body, Hybrid. Onboarding asks which days you actually train and picks the one that fits. BEAT LAST WEEK Long-press any exercise to log the weight. Next session, Reps shows what you did and suggests a small bump. That one rule is how lifts go up. A STREAK THAT COUNTS REAL DAYS Every finished workout adds a day. Rest days count too, up to two in a row. The flame on your home screen grows with it. PROGRESS WITHOUT SPREADSHEETS This month's workouts on a calendar, your bodyweight over time, and the last weight on every lift. Only what you logged, nothing invented. QUIET BY DESIGN No feed, no likes, no video. Short exercise names, one check circle per row, grey details. Dark mode. Optional reminders: one at 5 PM, and a nudge if you've gone a few days without training. REPS PRO Monthly or annual, both with a 7-day free trial. Payment goes through your Apple ID after the trial and renews until you cancel, at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Island at every 4 days against Reps's monthly. Island also leads on ratings volume (19 vs 1). Reps's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Island sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Reps sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Reps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Island has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Island ships an update every 4 days, Reps monthly. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
