## What is Masking?

Every face mask has a safe window. Masking knows how long it should stay on your skin and makes sure it comes off in time.
Pick your mask type, set Normal or Sensitive skin, and Masking takes care of the rest.

SENSITIVE SKIN? WE GOT YOU.
Normal or Sensitive? One tap to switch. Every mask type adjusts its duration based on dermatology guidelines. Sensitive skin gets shorter, safer timing. No more Googling "how long should I leave this on."

6 MASK TYPES · 2 SKIN MODES
Sheet, Clay, Gel, Peel-off, Modeling, and Exfoliating. Each with its own recommended duration, aftercare tips, and a critical overtime threshold.

POP BUBBLES, POP STRESS
Floating bubbles drift across the screen. Tap to pop. Quiet affirmations appear at just the right moments, never repeating across sessions.
Your mask time is your calm time.

THREE-LAYER SKIN PROTECTION
Layer 1 · Heads-up
One minute before time's up, a gentle reminder lets you prepare. Sound, haptic, and on-screen alert.

Layer 2 · Time's up
When your mask is done, a clear notification fires with sound. Live Activity updates on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Widgets reflect completion across Home Screen and Control Center.

Layer 3 · Overtime alert
Still on? A warning sounds. If your mask stays past the safe limit, a system-level alarm breaks through Do Not Disturb and Silent Mode. Your skin is protected even if you fall asleep.

APPLE WATCH
Your session stays protected even when your phone is out of reach. Apple Watch keeps the timer running, syncs completion data back to iPhone, and triggers overtime alerts from your wrist. One session. One record. No gaps.

ZERO-EFFORT TRACKING
Every session is automatically logged to Apple Calendar. No manual input. No journaling.
Masking schedules your next session based on each mask type's recommended interval. Your skincare routine stays on track without lifting a finger.

ONE PURCHASE. ALL YOURS.
Start with Sheet Mask for free. Unlock all mask types with a single one-time purchase. No subscriptions. No ads.

Designed for the moments between skincare and self-care.
