DigiBound

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

You opened your phone for something else, then found yourself scrolling social media. App Blocker Schedule helps you build a healthier relationship with your phone in two ways: • See what you need to do before you unlock • Prevent apps restricted for the current time period from opening after you unlock Restrict distracting apps so you can use the app you meant to open.

Divide your day into periods such as morning, commute, work, evening, and bedtime. For each period, choose what to show, which apps you want to use, and which apps or categories you want to restrict. When the time period changes, your app restrictions change with it. Block social media during work, video apps at night, or games during sleep.
