TaskBlue vs. iOS Bildschirmzeit
iOS Screen Time is free and built in, but the key lives on the same device. Any PIN is bypassed in seconds. TaskBlue solves this with a key off the phone, the Focus Buoy via NFC, and makes distracting apps vanish from your home screen completely. And it adds what iOS never will: every focus hour pulls real plastic from the sea.
What is iOS Bildschirmzeit?
iOS Screen Time: Apple's built-in feature with limits, app restrictions and family settings. Free, but bypassable on the device and with no impact on the real ocean.
The core difference
TaskBlue is the only focus app where every hour of deep focus pulls real plastic out of the ocean. No other product on this page turns your focus into measurable impact in the sea.
