PhoneCurfew: Bedtime App Block

You know your phone is wrecking your sleep. Screen Time gets bypassed in one tap. Willpower fails. Leaving the phone in the kitchen lasts three nights.

PhoneCurfew is the simplest tool that actually keeps you off your phone at bedtime.

Set your curfew. Pick the apps you don't want to see after lights-out. PhoneCurfew blocks them at the operating-system level using Apple's Screen Time framework. The moment your curfew starts, those apps stop opening. No reminders, no overlays, no popups to swipe away — just a clean block screen that puts your phone down for you.


HOW IT WORKS

• Set a curfew window (e.g., 10:30 PM – 6:30 AM)
• Pick the apps that keep you up — social, video, news, games
• Get a wind-down notification 15 minutes before curfew
• Apps stay blocked until your wake time
• Wake up rested. Watch your streak grow.


THE OVERRIDE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS

Life happens. PhoneCurfew has an override — but it's designed to break the autopilot scroll. Tap override, wait through a 60-second countdown, type a reason, and you get 15 minutes of access. That tiny moment of friction is enough to ask yourself: do I really need this, or is it the dopamine talking?

Every override is logged for your own reflection. No judgment. Just data.


STREAKS WORTH BUILDING

Track consecutive nights without an override. Watch your monthly calendar light up green for the nights you respected your curfew, yellow for the ones you didn't. Celebrate milestones at 7, 30, 90, and 365 nights — because building this habit is hard, and progress should be visible.


PRIVACY FIRST

Everything stays on your phone. No account. No cloud. No analytics. PhoneCurfew never sees the apps you choose to block — Apple's framework hands us opaque tokens, not names. The only outbound network call is to validate your subscription.

If you want a tool that respects your data as much as your sleep, this is it.

WHO IT'S FOR

Adults who want to sleep better and have already tried everything else. Anyone who's woken up at 2 AM with a phone in their hand and asked: how did I get here? Anyone tired of being a person who scrolls instead of sleeps.

This is not a parental-control app. It's for you, by you.
