Chronofile vs PlugBrain
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Chronofile
Chronofile is a personal time tracking app. More background at this blog post and Hacker News. All data is saved to a chronofile.tsv file on your device. This app is 100% offline and never accesses the internet - no ads, no telemetry, nothing.
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 ;)
