Min Time vs PlugBrain
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Min Time
Min Time is a countdown app. It's main goal is to help you structure your talks and presentations. It divides the talk time into three phases: green, yellow and red. With a glimpse you get an idea how much time is left. For example, a 70 minutes talk could be divided into 50, 15 and 5 minute segments. Once started, Min Time counts down from 70 to 0, changing colors and vibrating when a new phase is reached. During presentation you can switch to other apps. The app is intentionally kept simple. Just a few taps and you are ready to give your talk. To finish your presentations and tasks just in time.
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 ;)
