Solys
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stop scrolling in bed. Solys is the app blocker that starts when your alarm rings: the apps you choose stay paused, so the first minutes of your day belong to you, not your feeds. You know the pattern. The alarm goes off, you reach for your phone, and one quick check turns into half an hour of doomscrolling. Solys breaks that loop right where it starts. MAKE MORNINGS YOURS • Set your alarm and choose the apps you want to pause: social media or any other app. • When the alarm rings, they stay paused for 30, 45, or 60 minutes. You pick the length. • Add an optional evening curfew so the same apps rest at night, too. • Set a daily intention and see your protected mornings in a weekly view. • Use the in-app emergency unlock when you truly need access. WHO IT’S FOR Anyone who wants to stop doomscrolling, cut down on screen time in bed, or start each day with a dopamine detox, without deleting a single app. HOW IT WORKS Solys uses Apple’s Screen Time permission to pause the apps you select. Apps you do not select remain available. Blocking depends on the permissions you grant on your iPhone. YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE In Settings, you decide whether Solys shares usage statistics. SUBSCRIPTION An active subscription is required after the demo. The price, billing period, any eligible trial, and first payment date are shown before purchase. Apple handles payment. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

Take your attention back. You open an app without thinking. Five minutes quietly become fifty. Relock puts a pause between the reflex and the scroll — just long enough to remember what you actually wanted to do. CHOOSE WHAT NEEDS PROTECTING Select apps and categories through Apple Screen Time controls. You decide what matters, not a preset list. BUILD A RULE AROUND YOUR DAY Schedules, durations, daily limits, rule modes. Shape the boundary that fits your morning, your work session, your wind down — from a light block to strict mode when you really mean it. A PAUSE WITH A PURPOSE When a protected app is restricted, Relock creates a clear interruption with the context of your rule. Not another notification. A moment to choose. CHANGE IT WHEN LIFE CHANGES Edit, suspend, resume, or reset your rules. No two days are the same, and your boundaries should not be either. PROGRESS WITHOUT PRESSURE Interventions, estimated time saved, streaks. Information, not judgment. CALM BY DESIGN A focused interface and restrained feedback. An app that helps you look at your screen less should not demand more of your attention. YOUR PRIVACY Relock does not read your messages, your photos, or the contents of restricted apps. Apple provides opaque selection tokens that stay local on your device. JSON export and account deletion are available anytime in Settings. Start with the app that steals five minutes. Build the pause that gives them back. Relock is built around Apple Screen Time controls, for iPhone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Relock at none against Solys's shown. Relock also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
