## What is RLX?

Digital detox, your way. Less scrolling. More time and breathing room for you.

Block distracting apps, set daily limits and schedule quiet hours on your iPhone or iPad. Choose which apps, categories and websites to limit. Every feature in RLX is free, with no subscriptions, paywalls, ads or account required. When you want to unwind, breathing, meditation, journaling and sleep sounds are there for you.

YOUR APPS, YOUR BOUNDARIES
Choose apps, categories and websites with Apple Screen Time. Block them now, set a daily limit or plan quiet hours. See your agreements together in your day view. Take a brief pause before opening selected apps, or choose a stronger temporary lock.

Use the heart to save your favorite breathing, meditation and movement practices. In Your exercises, you’ll find them alongside exercises you’ve recently completed. Your favorites also help shape suggestions in Today and Rest.

More room for your thoughts.
Type or dictate your notes. Add your own topics and a photo, then revisit everything in Overview. Your journal can be included in your automatic iCloud copy, without syncing.

MY EVENING
My evening remembers your exercise, favorite sound and sleep timer. Settle in with breathing, a body scan or one of two new visualizations narrated by your chosen iOS voice. Then let the sound continue with your screen locked. Brief guidance is there if you wake in the night, too. In the morning, record how you slept, alongside your sleep recording and available stages from Apple Health if connected.

A MOMENT OF CALM, YOUR WAY
Take a minute for yourself. Breathe along, follow a short meditation or write about what's on your mind. Choose from 17 breathing rhythms and 18 short text-guided meditations. Make time for a simple movement exercise or a short walk, too. Find what feels right for you today.

AGREEMENTS FOR YOUR FAMILY
Child Mode gives your child a calm home with breathing and quiet moments. A parent manages the agreements on the child's device with a local PIN.

AT HOME ON IPHONE AND IPAD
Use the spacious iPad layout or keep a small moment of calm close on iPhone. Light and dark appearances follow your preference. Widgets, Control Center and Shortcuts bring your choices within reach.

Saved on your device. With iCloud backup enabled, your journal can also be stored in your own iCloud.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7 — 2026-09-22

RLX: Digital Detox helps you make a little more room in your day. Completely free on iPhone and iPad, with no subscriptions, ads or account required.

Block distracting apps and websites, set daily limits and schedule quiet hours. Make room to unwind with breathing exercises, meditation, journaling and sleep sounds.

Start small: set a limit for one app or take a minute to breathe. Choose what fits your day. We keep every feature free.

In 1.7, a phone call now pauses your meditation. We’ve also made switching background sounds more reliable.

### 1.6.1 — 2026-09-14

RLX is a completely free app blocker for iPhone and iPad, with no subscriptions or ads, and no account required.

Block distracting apps and websites, set daily limits and schedule quiet hours. Make room to unwind with breathing exercises, meditation, journaling and sleep sounds.

Start small: choose one app you open more often than you want to and set your own limit. We keep every feature free.

In 1.6.1, we make these options clearer on our App Store page.

### 1.6 — 2026-09-11

RLX 1.6

For this version, we’ve made RLX a little softer and warmer. Forest & Linen brings calmer colours, navigation that follows light and dark mode, and more care for the small details.

Use the heart to save your favourite breathing, meditation and movement practices. Your practices brings them together with practices you’ve recently completed. Your favourites also help shape suggestions in Today and Rest.

Finishing a practice is simpler, without a separate feedback question. Layouts on smaller iPhones are improved, with less unnecessary work in the background.

We hope RLX feels even more like your own welcoming place. Thank you for being here.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-09

RLX 1.5.0

For this version, I’ve given writing more room and care. I hope it helps you get something off your mind, including when speaking feels easier than typing.

Type or dictate your notes. Add your own topics and a photo, then revisit everything in Overview. Your journal can be included in your automatic iCloud copy, without syncing.

Also improved: dictation with pauses, deleting notes and clearer screens.

You may not have discovered everything from 1.4 and 1.4.1 yet. The new home screen brings more clarity on iPhone and iPad, Your day gathers your rules together, and Child Mode feels calmer. My evening remembers your exercise, sleep sound and timer, with new guided visualizations and a place to reflect on your sleep in the morning. Thank you for using RLX.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-09-08

My evening remembers your exercise, favourite sound and sleep timer. Settle in with breathing, a body scan or one of two new visualizations narrated by your chosen iOS voice. Then let the sound continue with your screen locked. Brief guidance is there if you wake in the night, too. In the morning, record how you slept, alongside your sleep recording and available stages from Apple Health if connected.
