Comparison
Most of these are good. They are just not the same thing.
Every page here names what the other product does better first, and several of them do things Warden cannot. The difference worth paying for is narrow: who is allowed to unlock early.
Compare
Warden vs Apple Screen Time
Apple's built-in limits, free on every iPhone. App Limits, Downtime, and a four-digit passcode that gates changes.
Compare
Warden vs Opal
The best-known focus app in the category, an Apple Design Award finalist, on iPhone, Mac and Android with focus sessions, scores and streaks.
Compare
Warden vs one sec
An app that interrupts the reach rather than blocking it: open a chosen app and it makes you breathe for a few seconds first, then asks whether you still want to go in.
Compare
Warden vs Brick
A physical NFC tile. Tap your phone to it to lock your chosen apps, and tap the same tile again to unlock — so the tile has to be within reach.
Compare
Warden vs Freedom
A long-running cross-platform blocker that syncs sessions across your phone, tablet and computer at once, with a Locked Mode for sessions you cannot cancel.
Compare
Warden vs Jomo
A well-designed iPhone and Mac blocker with schedules, session limits, and a strict mode that makes changes harder to make in the moment.
