Icarus locks distracting apps (IG, TikTok, etc.) behind a quiz built from your own notes. Get enough right and unlock the app! Screen-time blockers stop scrolling but don't make studying happen — you just sit there annoyed until you disable them. Icarus turns that moment into a study rep instead: active-recall questions from your material, spaced out over time so review happens automatically. Free for a week on the App Store!
the active-recall mechanic from your own notes is genuinely clever, way more effective than just blocking the app cold.
@cuthbert_ng Really appreciate this! That was exactly the problem I wanted to solve. Blocking alone always felt like it created a wall, but didn’t actually help you use the moment for anything useful. Curious to see how the recall part feels for you if you decide to use it! I'm rolling out major updates right now to expand what is available for free users as well, trying to actually make this accessible for students at every level unlike so many other apps out there!
