It's late. You're tired. And you're still scrolling. Tempo helps you put your phone down at night and actually sleep. Not by locking you out, but by giving you something better to do with the last hour of your day. WHY BLOCKING ALONE NEVER WORKED You've tried the blockers. You tap "ignore," and you're back in the feed. The science of breaking phone habits is clear: restriction on its own backfires. What holds is replacement. Tempo is built entirely around the half every other app skips. We give your evening a new ritual to fall into. THE BOOKENDS OF YOUR DAY Tempo looks after the hours that decide how you sleep and how you wake, roughly 9pm to 9am. The middle of your day is yours. We're here to help you wind-down and start your day. Wind down: as bedtime nears, the apps that keep you up quietly wind down with you. In their place, a short breathing session, a journal prompt, a sleep story to drift off to. Sleep: Tempo guides you to sleep with slow breathing and calm narration, instead of a bright feed. Morning: wake to your own intention; not to an hour of scrolling before you're even out of bed. NEVER A WALL Every block is a pause, not a prison. Tempo always leaves you a way through, because a tool that traps you is one you'll delete. You stay in control. We just make the mindless pickup a little less easy, and the better choice a little more inviting. REPLACEMENTS WORTH CHOOSING . Guided wind-down breathing . Sleep stories, original and narrated . Brain dump and evening journaling . 4-7-8 and box breathing . NSDR for tired mornings and slow afternoons . A calm morning report that shows how phone-free nights line up with rest PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your app choices and your blocking happen on your device, through Apple's own Screen Time tools. We built Tempo for people who are tired of being the product. MADE BY PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN THERE Tempo was built by remote workers who were chronically online and wanted their evenings back. This is the method that worked for us. Maybe it works for you too. Set your own rhythm. Terms of Use: https://www.settempo.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.settempo.app/privacy
