## What is Curfew?

Keep the content. Remove the casino lighting.

Curfew is a calm way to check Instagram, YouTube and Facebook - the sites themselves, full colour, exactly as you know them, with a personal daily time budget and the noise turned down: no autoplay, no infinite scroll, no red badges, no motion. You log in with your own account, the same way you always have. Nothing you post, follow or watch changes.

A budget, not a blocker
Set a daily time limit for each site - the default is 45 minutes. A countdown stays quietly visible while you browse, minutes only, never a ticking clock. When your time is up for the day, the site is replaced with a plain screen telling you when it resets. One five-minute extension is available per day, and it's logged in your stats - a limit you can see yourself using is a limit you'll actually respect.

Quiet hours
Schedule a lockout window for each site separately - work hours, bedtime, whatever you choose. Inside that window the site is simply unavailable, no extension, no override. Your daily budget and your quiet hours are independent, so you can trust both.

A calmer feed, not a different one
- Full-colour photos and video - only the interface chrome is desaturated
- No autoplay
- Infinite scroll requires a tap to load more, instead of continuing forever
- No red alert badges or unread counts
- Reduced motion throughout

Weekly stats
See time per site per day, session counts, average session length, and how often you hit your limit, with a seven-day comparison. Stored on your device only.

Built to be actually left on
Curfew doesn't collect your data, doesn't run a server, and doesn't need your Instagram, YouTube or Facebook password - you sign in to each site the normal way, inside the app, and your session stays with you. There's no account to create for Curfew itself.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-27

A rebuilt first run. Curfew now opens on the thing it is actually about, then walks you through setting your own limits in four short steps: which feeds are the problem, locking yourself out by location, locking yourself out by the clock, and roughly where your time goes today.

Shorter, clearer, and you reach a working plan in under a minute.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-14
