PlugBrain vs QZ Companion Nordictrack Treadmill
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
PlugBrain
PlugBrain is an app that encourages regular breaks from distracting apps by blocking access at scheduled intervals. To regain access, you’ll need to solve a math challenge that adjusts in difficulty: the more frequently you use the apps, the harder the challenges become, but the longer you stay away, the easier they get. **Features** - No ads - No internet required - Blocks distracting apps - Unblock apps by solving math challenges - Difficulty increases with frequent use, decreases with focus **How to use** - Grant all required permissions - Select distracting apps - Choose your focus interval - Stay focused ;)
QZ Companion Nordictrack Treadmill
QZ Companion Nordictrack Treadmill is a companion app of QZ for Nordictrack Treadmills that works on iFit-enabled/iFit-embedded treadmills. It transmits speed and inclination directly to Zwift. Also, auto-inclination and speed control works on some models of NordicTrack and ProForm treadmills.The QZ Companion app, when installed on your treadmill, communicates live speed and inclination to the QZ app running on another device (e.g. Windows PC or laptop, Android phone or tablet, or iOS iPhone or iPad). QZ then communicates this information to Zwift running on a 3rd device (e.g. Windows PC or laptop, Android phone or tablet, or iOS iPhone or iPad). A second device could be used to run both QZ and Zwift, eliminating the need for a third device, as long as QZ runs in the background while Zwift runs in the foreground.The matching app for your smartphone/tablet can be found here.
