What's Their Name

Read full description

Faces stick. Names slip. What’s Their Name turns the people you already know into a private deck of flashcards you can practice in a minute: neighbors, coworkers, teammates, your kid’s classmates’ parents. ADD THE FACES YOU KEEP FORGETTING • Pick a photo, tap the right face, and it’s saved as a square crop with a name attached. • Up to five photos per person. • Nicknames and middle names, for the people who go by something else. • Sort people into groups the way you meet them: work, church, the school run, the padel club. PRACTICE UNTIL THE NAME COMES FIRST • Each card shows a face. Swipe up for the initials, down to reveal the name, or sideways to skip. • Grade yourself Right or Wrong. The ones you miss come back before the quiz ends. • Quiz everyone, just one group before you walk in, or only the faces you miss most. SEE WHAT’S STICKING • Stats show your recall, the people you miss most and who’s improving. • Everything is worked out on your iPhone, and it all works offline. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no password, nothing to sign up for. • Your Rolodex lives on your iPhone and in your own private iCloud, which keeps your devices in sync. There’s no server of ours, so there’s nothing for us to see. • Faces are found on your iPhone. The app finds where a face is in a photo, never who it is. • No ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics. Your photos never train anything. • No directory: nobody can search for you, and your Rolodex is never public. What’s Their Name is for remembering people you already know. It isn’t for identifying strangers. Questions or ideas? Write to support@whatstheirname.app.

Sunscroll is the cute, gentle screen time app and app blocker for iPhone. A friendly sun helps you stop doomscrolling Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or any app you choose, with no guilt, no shame and no punishment. Give the apps that eat your day one daily limit: as you scroll, clouds drift over the sun in a pastel sky, and when the time is up, your apps rest until morning. Sunscreen for your scrolling. LOOKING FOR A SCREEN TIME APP THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU FEEL GUILTY? That's exactly what Sunscroll is made for. No red alarms, no lectures, no shaming when you go over. The sun teases itself and your apps, never you. Kind limits, made to be kept. WANT A PAUSE INSTEAD OF A HARD BLOCK? When your time is up and you need an app anyway, the sun asks for one small thing first: three slow breaths, a quick sum, or one of six tiny games. Where's the sun? Please hold. Not a robot. Count the clouds. Blow the cloud away. Talk me into it. Then choose 5, 10 or 30 minutes. A mindful pause made to break the autopilot, without locking you out of your own phone, as often as you need it. LOVE CUTE APPS? Sunscroll is drawn like a picture book: a pastel sky, a smiling sun mascot that reacts when you tap it, and a sleepy moon at night. Cozy enough to open on purpose. SCROLLING IN BED UNTIL 2AM? Turn on sleep mode and your apps rest from bedtime (11 pm, or the hour you pick) until 6 am. The moon keeps watch, and the same gentle pause is there if you truly need something. NEED TO FOCUS? Start focus: 20, 45, 60 or 120 minutes in which every app rests except the ones iOS always allows. Study, work or read, and end it whenever you like. ONE DAILY LIMIT, NOT A SPREADSHEET Pick your apps in Apple's own picker and give them one daily limit they share. The sun always tells you, kindly, about how much is left. Your other apps stay open. KEY FEATURES • App blocker with one shared daily limit for the apps you choose • A sun that shows how much of today's time is left • A mindful pause before apps open: breathing exercise, a quick sum or a mini game • Focus sessions from 20 minutes to 2 hours • Sleep mode for bedtime scrolling • Screen time, pickups and minutes per app, straight from Screen Time • The apps outside your limit that took the most time today • Your week at a glance, and a streak for the days that count • In English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Indonesian, Turkish, Russian and Ukrainian • No account, no ads, no tracking PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your Screen Time data stays on your iPhone. Sunscroll can't even see which apps you picked: iOS hands it anonymous tokens.
