About

Provision

Features
Read full description

Provision takes a goal with a deadline and works out what today asks of you. Enter what you're aiming at and when it's due. Provision breaks it into daily pieces, leaves buffer days in the middle, and re-plans when you fall behind โ€” offering you the choice between a heavier load and a later date rather than deciding for you. It works for four kinds of goal: projects with hours, savings with paydays, training, and reading. Savings goals work in paychecks, not days. Enter any two of target, deadline, and per-payday amount, and Provision solves the third โ€” then tells you honestly whether that's a reasonable share of a normal paycheck. Share a goal with a friend for accountability. They see your progress, not your notes or your numbers, and they can cheer you on or nudge you when you've gone quiet. Or split a goal between you, and carry a share each. Provision has no account and no server. Everything lives in your own iCloud. Provision offers optional auto-renewing subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://provisiongoals.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

QuitCost helps you keep your focus promises. Pick the apps that distract you, start a focus session, and QuitCost blocks them until your time is up. Finishing is always free. If you want out early, you pay one fixed price โ€” the commitment price you saw before you started. That small, real cost is often all it takes to keep the scroll away. HOW IT WORKS โ€ข Choose your distracting apps with Apple's private system picker โ€” QuitCost never sees your app list โ€ข Pick a session length: 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes โ€ข Your chosen apps stay blocked until the session ends โ€ข Want out early? One fixed price, shown up front. No subscriptions, no automatic charges โ€ข Finish your session and pay nothing โ€” ever PRIVATE BY DESIGN โ€ข Your task text and app selections never leave your iPhone โ€ข Screen Time (Family Controls) is used only to block the apps you choose โ€ข Sign in with Apple โ€” no passwords, no ads, no tracking WHY A PRICE? Free willpower apps are easy to ignore. A small commitment makes quitting feel like a decision instead of a reflex. You set the promise; QuitCost helps you keep it. QuitCost requires iOS 17 or later and Screen Time permission.
