Hourally is the simple way to get your hours back. Pick your hourly limit: 1, 3, 5, 10 or 12 minutes. Pick the apps that pull you away. Your blocks reset every hour, right on the hour. When time's up, a classic quote pulls you back. No daily budget to blow by lunch. No per-app math. Just a few minutes, every hour, so you can check in and get back to your life. WHY WE MADE HOURALLY The apps we love, like social media, news and entertainment, aren't the problem. It's how much time they quietly take, while the things that matter most, like family, relationships and work, end up on the back burner. So we made Hourally simple, with no thinking involved. No graphs, no extras. Just a set amount of time for your apps that resets every hour, so you can get back to what's important. A NOTE FROM THE CREATOR I've always found quotes motivating. With so many things fighting for our attention, a simple quote can reel us back in. A few words can give you strength, peace, a hard lesson, or real understanding. That's why every time an app's time is up, Hourally shows you one. CLOSED TILL MIDNIGHT Done for the day? One tap locks every app you chose until midnight. No undo, no excuses. At 12:00 AM your apps open back up with your regular hourly minutes. Included with Hourally Plus. HOURALLY PLUS Hourally is free for 2 apps. Hourally Plus protects up to 20 apps, every hour, and adds Closed Till Midnight. Choose monthly or yearly. The yearly plan starts with a 1-week free trial for new subscribers.
