OneTimeAlarm vs PlugBrain
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
OneTimeAlarm
The use case for this app is creating reminders which are only relevant once in a time and they don't repeat such as reminders to go to the train on 15:30. Using standard alarm app I had a lot of alarms which then I had to delete manually to avoid clutter. Using the standard calendar event notifications were not loud enough so I could forget about them if I didn't have my phone nearby. This app solves this use case. After alarm is fired it is deleted, it doesn't have to be deleted manually as in normal alarm application. READ BEFORE USE! In this app it's only possible to set alarms which don't repeat and only for today or tomorrow! Don't expect this app to be used as a replacement for your standard alarm app or calendar! It's a different type of application! It is not a calendar or standard alarm clock app.
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 ;)
