## What is Nightlock?

Scrolling in bed again? Nightlock puts your apps to bed on schedule.

Pick the apps that keep you up and set a bedtime. They lock at night and open again in the morning. Add a daily limit for the rest of the day. No willpower required — just enough friction to stop you.

HOW IT WORKS
• Pick the apps, sites or categories that pull you in
• Set a bedtime — they lock at night and unlock in the morning
• Add a daily limit — when it runs out, they lock until tomorrow

MORE THAN A TIMER
• Lock now — shut everything for 25 minutes, an hour, two hours or until midnight
• Schedules — bedtime, study time or any window you choose
• Per-app limits — give one app a tighter budget of its own
• Early unlocks cost time — each one today waits a little longer, up to 5 minutes
• Strict mode (Premium) — a lock that can't be broken early at all
• Streaks and stats — watch the scroll-free days add up
• Calls, texts and alarms always get through

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No tracking. Your apps, limits and stats stay on your iPhone, on top of Apple's Screen Time.

PLANS
Free: up to 3 apps, sites or categories under one daily limit, one schedule and one per-app limit. It doesn't expire.
Premium: unlimited apps, a limit for every app, as many schedules as you like, Strict mode, no unlock wait and your full stats history. Weekly or yearly subscription (7 days free on the yearly plan), or a one-time lifetime purchase. Cancel anytime.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.

### 1/5 — Обман

*2026-09-13*

Три часа все настраивала, а в итоге оказалось, что подписка обязательна, бесплатной версии приложения нет

**Developer response:** Спасибо за честный отзыв, и жаль, что это выяснилось только в конце настройки. Бесплатной версии у приложения действительно нет: есть 7 дней бесплатно на годовом плане, отменить можно в любой момент в настройках Apple ID. Если триал не подошёл — напишите нам, поможем с возвратом. Мы уже переносим экран с ценой в начало, чтобы условия были видны до настройки, а не после.
