About

ScrollWager

This app locks your applications, requiring you to earn screen time by completing challenges or physical activities to unlock them. It aims to make app usage a conscious decision rather than an automatic habit. Earned minutes carry over, and a hard daily limit prevents excessive challenges.

Highlights
  • Apps locked around the clock
  • Unlock one app at a time
  • Earn minutes by moving
  • Hard daily challenge limit
  • Strict Mode for deletion prevention
  • Streak and milestone tracking
  • Usage history

Your apps are locked. All day, every day. To get in, you spend screentime you earned. Tap a locked app and ScrollWager asks one question: how much of your screentime is this worth? Set the amount, take the challenge, live with the result. Win and the app opens for exactly the minutes you set. Lose and it stays locked. That is the whole idea. Scrolling stops being automatic and becomes a decision. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps you want locked. They stay locked around the clock — no schedules, no time windows, nothing that opens on its own. 2. Tap one. ScrollWager asks how many minutes it is worth to you, starting at 5. 3. Take on the challenge. Flip a coin, spin a wheel, play a hand, clear a grid or drop a ball. 4. Win and the app opens for the minutes you chose. Lose and those minutes are gone. 5. Out of minutes? Earn more. Walk, do pushups in front of the camera, or solve a quick puzzle. WHAT YOU GET - Locked around the clock. No schedule to set, no window that opens by itself. - One app at a time. An unlock opens the app you tapped, not your whole phone. - A daily allowance. Each morning your balance is topped up to the daily limit you chose. Minutes you earn on top stay until you spend them. - Earn by moving. Steps and camera-counted pushups both pay into your balance. - Earn by thinking. A daily Word Guess, Word Groups, Logic Grid and Sudoku, plus Quick Math and Trivia anytime. - Strict Mode. While it is on, no app can be deleted, ScrollWager included, and locked apps cannot be taken off your list. Adding more is always allowed. - Streaks and milestones. Every day the lock holds counts. - History. What you earned, what you spent, and what it cost you. BUILT FOR - Anyone who opens the same app without deciding to - People who have tried blockers and tapped straight through them - Students and anyone protecting a block of work - Anyone who wants scrolling to cost something instead of being forbidden PRIVACY ScrollWager uses Apple's Screen Time API. Which apps you pick and how you use them stays on your device — Apple's system does not let that data out. SUBSCRIPTION ScrollWager needs an active subscription to lock and unlock apps. Without one the locks come off, and your app list, balance and streak stay where they are.

"Is this translation really right?" Sending a message to an international colleague, replying to an English email from a client, wondering if you can just send that machine-translated text as-is — TransLoop is here for the moment you want to double-check a translation, right from your phone. ■ Simple to use 1. Enter the text you want to check 2. Tap "Translate & Check" 3. If the meaning has drifted, you'll see a yellow or red signal ■ How TransLoop works (translation self-check) Once a translation is produced, TransLoop looks only at that translation and translates it back in the opposite direction, then compares it with your original text to see if the meaning still matches. Because the back-translation is done without seeing the original, the check stays objective and free of assumptions. ■ Who it's for - Anyone who emails or chats with international colleagues day to day - Businesses handling visitors from abroad, or multilingual social posts and signage - Language learners who want to check their own English writing - Anyone who wants to make sure they've correctly understood a document from overseas ■ Your translations become a growing knowledge base Translations you've checked can be saved to My Dictionary. From then on, whenever a similar sentence comes up, TransLoop automatically looks up and reuses your saved wording in the translation. Words are always applied wherever they appear, and longer phrases are automatically suggested in similar contexts — so the more you use it, the more the results sound like you (or your workplace). No more retyping the same terms every time. ■ Supported languages Japanese to/from English, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, Vietnamese ■ Plans Free: up to 5 checks/day, 500 characters per check, 50 My Dictionary entries Premium: up to 100 checks/day, 2,000 characters per check, unlimited My Dictionary ■ Premium (auto-renewing subscription) New subscribers can start with a 7-day free trial (monthly or annual). - TransLoop Premium (Monthly) — auto-renewing subscription, billed every month - TransLoop Premium (Annual) — auto-renewing subscription, billed every year (equivalent to 2 months free versus paying monthly) Prices are shown in your local currency on the purchase screen before you buy, and will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase (or, with a free trial, when the trial ends). Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the free trial ends, the paid subscription starts automatically when the trial ends. The subscription automatically renews for the same term and price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your device's Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TransLoop at none against ScrollWager's shown. TransLoop also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). ScrollWager's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
