It's past midnight. You meant to sleep an hour ago, but one more video turned into twenty. Bedline puts the apps that keep you up to bed. Choose your bedtime and the apps you lose your nights to, and Bedline pauses them with Apple's Screen Time until you wake up. No willpower needed. WHY BEDLINE • Stop late-night scrolling: social, video and games go quiet on schedule, every night, automatically. • Get your evenings back: protect the hour before bed that screens usually take. • Set up in 2 minutes: pick a bedtime, pick the apps, done. Your first calm night starts tonight. • Stay in control: need your phone? Hold to confirm an emergency unlock that lasts 30 to 120 minutes, as you choose. Your apps rest again on their own, and your first unlock of a night never costs you the night. • Works alongside the sleep and meditation apps you already use. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set when your Bedline starts and when you wake up, with different weekend hours if you like, or take the times Bedline suggests from your Apple Health sleep. 2. Choose the apps, categories and websites that keep you up. Tick a whole category, like Social, to pause every app in it. 3. At bedtime, Screen Time pauses them until morning. Change or switch off tonight only, without touching your routine. FEATURES • Apple Health: every night you keep is saved to Health as In Bed time, after you confirm you were in bed. Bedline also suggests a Bedline from when you really fall asleep, and shows your sleep beside your nights. • Tonight: a countdown to your Bedline and your wake-up, plus a Live Activity on your Lock Screen and a Home Screen widget. • Progress: one star lights for every night you keep, and your week becomes a small constellation. Earlier weeks and months stay in Your sky. A night counts only when Bedline can confirm your apps stayed paused. Share your week as a card. • No shaming: a missed night is simply a star that stays dark. Tomorrow is a fresh start. • Gentle reminders: an optional wind-down nudge before your Bedline starts, and a morning check-in. • A cozy companion: a parrot, cat, dog or hamster sleeps on your Tonight screen, and stays up scrolling if you do. • Private by design: no account and no ads. Apple never tells Bedline which apps you chose, and your schedule and nights stay on your iPhone. YOUR FIRST MONTH IS FREE Your first 30 days with Bedline are free: no purchase and nothing to cancel. Then Bedline Premium keeps your apps pausing at bedtime with Monthly or Yearly (auto-renewable subscriptions). Your schedule, apps and history stay saved either way. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm a purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. GOOD TO KNOW Bedline needs Screen Time permission to pause apps and runs on iOS 18 or later. Bedline is a tool for building a phone-down routine; it is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat sleep conditions.
