ICSx⁵ vs PlugBrain

ICSx⁵

Add high days and holidays, your sports teams events, time tables of your school/university or any other event files that come in ics/ical format. The app will import these events for you and displays it in your favorite calendar app on your Android – it integrates seamlessly into your device. * Subscribe to Webcal feeds (= synchronize at regular intervals) e.g. shared calendars from icloud.com * Subscribe to local .ics (iCalendar) calendar files * Allows to open webcal:// and webcals:// URLs, e.g. from your Web browser * Seamless integration to other calendar apps * Set a sync schedule * Intelligent update checker to save bandwidth * Authentication and HTTPS supported
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 ;)
