One more video can turn into another hour. DigiBound helps you put your phone down at bedtime, limit distracting apps on a schedule, and make room for sleep and the rest of life. 【MY RESULT WITH DIGIBOUND】 A note from the maker: I built DigiBound after struggling with my own late-night scrolling. Since using it, I spend about 2 hours and 30 minutes less each day on social media and short videos. I now put my phone down before 11 p.m. and sleep about an hour longer at night. 【MY IPHONE SCREEN TIME】 In the iPhone Screen Time records shown in the screenshots, my daily average fell from 18h 22m to around 9 hours. If late-night scrolling sounds familiar, give DigiBound a try and see if it helps you put your phone down sooner. 【BLOCK THE APPS YOU CHOOSE】 Select the apps, categories, or websites that keep pulling you back. DigiBound limits only what you choose—not your entire phone. 【PUT YOUR NIGHTS ON AUTOPILOT】 Set your bedtime, wake time, and days once. Sleep Lock applies your limits on schedule, even when DigiBound isn’t open, and removes them when the scheduled window ends. Overnight schedules are supported. If tonight is different, skip just this occurrence; your future schedule stays in place. 【PAUSE BEFORE ENDING A LOCK】 If you try to end Sleep Lock early, DigiBound offers a one-minute breathing pause—a chance to reconsider before a quick check turns into another late night. 【FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS】 Start a saved Focus mode when it’s time to work, exercise, meditate, or study. Choose what to limit and how long to focus, then give that time to what you meant to do. 【SEE YOUR FOCUS ADD UP】 Set a daily goal and follow your completed sessions and focus time. Review your weekly progress inside DigiBound. The screen-time chart in the screenshots comes from my own iPhone Screen Time records, not DigiBound’s focus report. FREE AND PRO Free includes a repeating automatic Sleep Lock schedule and one Focus session every 24 hours. Pro adds three bedtime routines for different days of the week, unlimited Focus sessions, and Sleep Lock history for the past 7 or 30 days. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. DigiBound asks for Apple Screen Time permission when you enable restrictions. It uses privacy-protected selection tokens and does not upload the names of the apps or websites you select. Sleep Lock history does not measure how long you actually slept. Pro is optional. Prices, billing periods, and trial eligibility are shown on the App Store purchase screen. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed or canceled through the App Store. Terms of Use: https://digital-detox.indieer.top/legal/terms-of-use/en.html

Stop killing time before time kills you. Our generation is cooked. We spend hours every day quietly handing our lives over to algorithms designed to keep us infinitely scrolling. You've already tried to cut back, and you've failed. That's why we built LOXN. LOXN is the strict app blocker that genuinely doesn't let you cheat. No 30-second delay timers, no easy bypass popups, no passcode workarounds. Set the rule once, and LOXN enforces it, even when willpower doesn't. WHY LOXN WORKS WHERE OTHERS FAIL: • Actually Strict System-Level Blocks: Real OS-level blocking, not a VPN overlay. The app genuinely cannot be opened. Blocked is blocked, full stop. • The Auto-Relock Enforcer: Unlocked an app to quickly post or reply? Set a custom relock timer (1 to 10 minutes) and LOXN catches you before you fall into the scroll, relocking automatically when time's up. • Unlock Cooldowns: Set a cooldown window between unlocks (5 to 15 minutes), so by the time you can get back in, you've already started doing something else. • Your Unlock, Your Way: Unlock with an NFC card or tag, with Face ID, or with a press-and-hold button. Make it exactly as strict as you need. • Focus Mode: Start a timed deep-work session and your distractions stay locked until it ends. No early exits, no "just five minutes." • Morning Lock: Keep your feeds locked when you wake up, so you get up and get going before you get online. • Scroll Myself to Sleep: A controlled wind-down window before bed, then everything locks again automatically. Once per night, so it stays a wind-down and not a loophole. • Creator Mode: Need to actually post, not scroll? A temporary, partial unlock for the apps you create in: publish, reply, and get out. • Streaks: Set a daily budget for time in your blocked apps. Stay under it and your streak grows. A month-at-a-glance calendar shows every day you held the line, and monthly freezes cover the days life gets in the way. • True Emergency Friction: Exactly 3 emergency unlocks per month, 2 hours each. Real emergencies only. • Total Data Privacy: Everything stays on your device. No account, no server, no email required. All logic runs locally, and LOXN never learns which apps you block. LOXN requires a subscription: unlimited apps, website and category blocking, and every mode above. Available weekly, monthly, or annually, each with a 3-day free trial. Stop wasting years of your life. Reclaim your focus, protect your mental well-being, and stay locked in. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
