Sleep Earlier helps you stop doomscrolling and actually go to bed on time. Make one promise a day: choose your committed bedtime and a grace window. When the clock passes it, the app reminds you—gently, then firmly—to put the phone down. The next morning, take 10 seconds to log when you really slept. Honest data, honest feedback. WHY IT WORKS • One promise, one review — a simple daily loop that builds the habit. • Grace window — realistic targets beat chasing perfection. • Blackout warning — a hard-to-ignore full-screen alert when you go past your limit. • Smart reminders — 30 minutes before bed, at your committed time, and a next-morning review. SEE YOUR PROGRESS • Early-sleep streak, weekly win rate, and energy score. • A 7-night chart of on-time / slightly late / very late. • Real history built only from what you log. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no login, no sign-up. • Sleep records stay on your device. Only when you choose to submit feedback do we upload your message and necessary app and device information. • Clear local records anytime. Uninstalling does not delete submitted feedback; contact us to request its deletion. Sleep earlier tonight. Tomorrow will thank you.
