About

Clear Morning

Features
Read full description

Clear Morning protects the start of your day. Each morning, the apps you choose quiet down on their own — quietly, in the background. When you wake and reach for your phone, the feed isn't there to pull you in. You get a calm, clear window to actually begin your day. Tap the morning notification when you're up, and your apps reopen after a short wind-down of your choosing — 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes. Not ready? One tap opens everything right away. You're always in control. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps and categories you want to keep quiet in the morning. • They rest automatically each morning. • Tap the notification — or "Start my morning" — when you wake to begin your wind-down. • Your apps return when the wind-down ends, or open instantly anytime with one tap. QUIET BY DESIGN • No sound, no buzz — a single gentle notice, nothing more. • Notifications are optional. The app works without them. • No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. Nothing leaves your device. • A calm, minimal interface that gets out of your way. Clear Morning uses Apple's Screen Time so your app choices stay private — even we never see which apps you pick. Start your morning clear.
