About

You open an app for five minutes. Then the scroll takes over. It happens to everyone. Rest gives you a gentle tap on the shoulder when a visit runs long. Take a short walk, then choose again. No guilt, no streaks, nothing to earn. HOW IT WORKS - Make a deal with yourself: pick the apps that pull you in, how long a normal visit is, and how you'll reset. - Get a heads-up a minute before, then one gentle tap when the time is up. - Take a lap: about three minutes, phone in your pocket. The hallway, the stairs, round the block, it all counts. Prefer to stay put? Choose "Phone down" instead: screen off, face down, three minutes. - Then choose again: back for ten more minutes, or done for now. Both are good answers. SEE WHAT YOUR TIME TURNS INTO Every Sunday, Rest shows you a calm weekly summary: - Time you took back from long scrolls - Your steps against your own four weeks before Rest - Sleep on nights you stopped scrolling earlier - Workouts you started soon after putting the phone down - One-thing tasks you finished in the time you got back These are patterns in your own data, never promises. BUILT TO BE KIND - Unlock any time, no questions asked. - A gentler "It's late" tap after your bedtime. - Open apps on purpose with the doorway widget: decide how long before you go in. - Pim, a small friend who naps when your apps rest. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Uses Apple's Screen Time framework. Rest knows when a watched app is used and for how long, never what you look at. - Your posts, messages, searches and photos are never seen. - No account. Your activity stays on your iPhone. - Health data is read only, used only for your weekly summary, and never leaves your phone. WHAT YOU'LL NEED Screen Time access is required. Motion, notifications and Health are optional: without them, laps are timed instead of counted, and the weekly summary shows laps and time back only. SUBSCRIPTION Rest is free to download and needs a subscription to work. Choose yearly (with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers) or monthly.
