Tired of late-night phone usage stealing your sleep and hurting your mental health and focus? SleepShield helps you reduce screen time, improve mental health, and regain focus with smart screen time control and time management tools designed for better sleep. SleepShield is the screen time app that blends digital wellbeing, app blocker functionality, and alarm-based app limits to protect your sleep and morning routine. With powerful app blocking and screen time control, SleepShield gives you practical time management for phone usage so you can reduce screen time and build healthier habits. Key features that support sleep, digital wellbeing, and focus - Pre-sleep app blocking: Schedule app blocking n hours before bedtime to limit phone usage and reduce screen time before sleep. This screen time control helps calm the mind and protect mental health. - Alarm + app control integration: Use the AlarmKit alarm integration to lock selected apps (or the entire device) and keep them blocked until the alarm is dismissed, tying wake-up behavior to app blocking for better morning focus. - Post-wake app blocking: Keep app limits in place for n hours after the alarm rings to preserve uninterrupted focus time and structured time management during the morning routine. - Flexible app blocker: Choose specific apps to block or enforce broader app blocking to reduce phone usage and enforce digital wellbeing goals. - Customizable app limits: Set daily app limits, tailored pre-sleep and post-wake windows, and smart alarm behavior to fit your lifestyle and improve sleep patterns. How SleepShield works — simple, intentional, effective 1. Set your bedtime and wake-up time in the app. 2. From n hours before bedtime, SleepShield’s app blocker enforces screen time control, reducing late-night phone usage and supporting better sleep. 3. AlarmKit alarm rings at wake-up; apps remain blocked until you dismiss the alarm, preventing habit-driven phone checking and protecting morning focus. 4. After dismissing the alarm, the post-wake app limits continue for your chosen window to maintain focus and better time management for the start of your day. Benefits for sleep, mental health, and productivity - Improve sleep quality by limiting screen time and reducing late-night phone usage that can disrupt sleep patterns. - Support mental health by creating predictable boundaries around your phone and encouraging restful pre-sleep routines. - Boost focus and productivity with targeted app blocking and post-wake app limits that protect morning routines from distraction. - Reinforce healthy time management by making app limits automatic, so digital wellbeing becomes a built-in part of your day.
