PlugBrain vs WaterTracker
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 ;)
WaterTracker
WaterTracker is a simple app that reminds you to drink water. Simply tap on each glass to 'drink'. The glasses go down from full to empty at each tap. Alarm of your chosen duration (re)starts every time you touch a glass. A 'Drink water!' notification will be displayed if you have not 'drank' for your chosen duration. Tapping the notification goes to the app. When all 5 glasses are empty, the notifications will no longer come (until you restart them), and a 'Congratulations' message will appear.
