## What is Timeout?

Timeout: Study Smarter, Scroll Less
Stuck in a scrolling loop when you should be studying? Timeout breaks the cycle.
Every 10-15 minutes, Timeout locks your screen and asks you 3 quick questions from your own flashcards. Get them right, and you're back in. No shortcuts, no snoozing, no excuses. It's a screen-time blocker that actually makes you learn something before it lets go.

How it works:
Add your own flashcards for any subject: school, language learning, exam prep, anything
Timeout gently locks your phone at set intervals throughout the day
Answer 3 random questions correctly to unlock and keep going
Built on Apple's Screen Time framework, so it works system-wide, not just in one app

Why it works:
Passive blockers just annoy you until you turn them off. Timeout uses active recall, the same method top students use, so every interruption becomes a tiny study session instead of a wasted moment.

Subscription required:
Timeout requires an active Pro subscription to function. Choose the plan that fits you:
Weekly Pro: €1.99 / $1.99 per week
Monthly Pro: €4.99 / $4.99 per month
Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-10

Unlocking is faster, and setting up is a lot less work.

• No more waiting between questions. Answer, move straight on, and see
  everything at the end — grading now happens in the background.
• New results screen. Tap any card to see what you wrote next to the
  right answer.
• Timeout stays on. It arms itself when you open the app, so there's no
  button to remember before you start scrolling.
• Ranks. Climb from Newbie to Elite. Longer answers on questions you get
  right are worth more.
• Already have an account? Signing in now takes you straight back in
  instead of through setup again.
• Setup has a back button, so you can fix an earlier answer — and writing
  your first flashcard is optional now.
• Deleting a deck deletes its flashcards too.

Fixes
• Changing which apps are watched, or your time limit, now takes effect
  straight away instead of at your next session.
• Your time limit now saves to your account.
• Your apps could stay locked if a subscription lapsed. They now unlock.
• Home sometimes said Timeout was off while it was actually running.
• "Screen Time access needed" appeared even when access was granted.
• Deleted flashcards could come back after signing in again.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-03

What's New

Flashcards can now include a photo.
Instant right/wrong feedback while you study.
Smarter retries: only your misses (and a few new cards) come back, never what you already got right.
Study anytime from the Flashcards tab, no lock required.
Reopening a locked app now takes you straight to your questions.
Fixed a rare lockout bug when you had zero flashcards.
