## What is Mumzy?

It's late. Put the phone down. Mumzy says so.

Mumzy is a bedtime app blocker shaped like a mom. Pick a bedtime, pick the apps and websites that keep you up, and she locks them — while telling you exactly what she thinks about it.

Not a beep. Not a generic "Reminder." An actual mother, saying what you already know: it's late, the internet will still be there tomorrow, and you have work in the morning.

MUMZY ACTUALLY STOPS YOU
- Choose what gets locked at bedtime: social media, video, games, and websites in Safari
- When bedtime hits, none of it opens until your wake time. Her face is what you get instead.
- Runs entirely on your device using Apple's Screen Time tools

YOU CAN ASK FOR FIVE MORE MINUTES
- But you'll have to look her in the eyes and hold her gaze while you ask
- Let go early and she pulls away. Plenty of people lose their nerve halfway.
- And it only unlocks the one app you asked from. Everything else stays shut.

SHE TAKES IT PERSONALLY
- Hand-illustrated, and her face carries how you've been treating her
- Every time you ask for five more minutes, she gets a little older. That part isn't a metaphor.
- Go to bed on time and she rests. A week of good nights and you can watch the years come back.
- Dozens of warm, funny, guilt-tripping messages that never feel robotic

HOW IT WORKS
- Pick your bedtime
- Pick the apps and websites she locks
- Mumzy takes it from there

WHY PEOPLE LOVE HER
- A real character, not a cold notification
- Dead simple. No account, no signup, no clutter
- Completely private — nothing leaves your phone

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO SCROLL TOO LATE
You know you should sleep. You keep scrolling anyway. Every other screen time app hands you a chart and a limit you'll tap past in two seconds. Mumzy gives you someone who cares enough to nag.

That's Mumzy.

Set your bedtime. Let her handle the rest.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.1 — 2026-09-30

Mumzy 2.1 — she's counting now.

Last time she locked your apps. This time she's keeping score in years.

NEW: A PROPER INTRODUCTION
The first launch now walks you through setup: pick your bedtime and wake time, name your own app groups, and practice facing her before it counts. Say no to Screen Time or notifications and she'll still let you in. She just can't do as much about it.

NEW: HER AGE, FRONT AND CENTER
Mom's age now sits at the top of the screen, and every extension adds to it. Fifteen more minutes costs her three years. A clean night gives one back. The number changes color as she declines, so you'll feel it before you read it. And no, it doesn't stop at 100.

NEW: SEE WHAT'S BLOCKED
The main screen now spells out what's locked: 3 apps, 1 category, 10 websites. No guessing.

FIXES
- You can extend the time by going to the Mumzy app directly in case Focus mode hides the notifications
- Extensions confirm instantly. No more freezing.
- Changing your schedule during bedtime no longer ends the block early.
- Bedtime and wake time can't be set to the same minute anymore.
- One word everywhere: blocked means blocked.

### 2.0 — 2026-08-31

Mumzy 2.0 — she stopped asking nicely.

In version 1, mom reminded you it was bedtime. You kept
scrolling. She noticed.

NEW: SHE LOCKS YOUR APPS NOW
Pick the apps and websites that keep you up. When bedtime
hits, they won't open — you get her face instead, and she
has opinions.

NEW: FIVE MORE MINUTES — IF YOU CAN FACE HER
Want an extension? You'll have to look her in the eyes and
hold her gaze while you ask. Let go early and she'll know
you didn't mean it. Only the app you asked for unlocks —
the rest stay put, and everything locks again when your
time is up.

NEW: SHE AGES. THAT'S ON YOU.
Every extension takes a little of her life, and her portrait
shows it. Sleep on time and she recovers. She also keeps
receipts — a little ledger of every time you asked and what
it cost her.

Powered by Apple's Screen Time tools. Still no account,
still no tracking, still nothing leaving your phone.

It's late. She knows you're reading this. Go to bed.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-10
