DigiBound vs Vowlock

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

Vowlock is a strict app blocker for people who are done negotiating with themselves. Block apps behind Apple's Screen Time shields, seal the block with a vow, and make breaking it cost something real. Less brain rot, more evenings that are actually yours. Most app blockers are a toggle you flip off the moment an urge hits. No iOS blocker is unbreakable, so Vowlock is built on a harder truth: breaking one should cost something. With Vowlock you do not just block distracting apps. You seal a vow. SEAL A VOW, BLOCK APPS FOR AS LONG AS IT RUNS Choose the apps that eat your evenings: the feeds, the games, the one you open without deciding to, and any website you would rather not open. Choose how long the vow runs, from fifteen minutes to a full day. Then seal it with a short ritual: one line that is true for you, one spoken plea recorded on camera, and a heartbeat pulsing through the phone as you commit. From that second, your chosen apps go dark behind Apple's Screen Time shields. Think of it as a focus mode you cannot swipe away. BREAKING COSTS SOMETHING An app blocker you can switch off in two taps is only a suggestion. Want out early? Vowlock will not shame you, but it will not make it easy. You sit through the break ritual, feel that same heartbeat again, and watch the recording of yourself asking you not to. Most urges do not survive that mirror. Willpower is easier to find when the version of you who made the promise is looking back. STOP DOOM SCROLLING, STAY FOCUSED Use Vowlock as a distraction blocker to stop doomscrolling at night, to stay focused through a work block, or as a social media blocker for the whole weekend. Doom scrolling ends when the feed is simply not there. Need a short-video blocker? Vowlock takes a whole social media or short-video app off the table, the app itself rather than one tab inside it, so its endless feed goes with it. Self control is a muscle. Every kept vow is one more rep, and every rep teaches your thumb that the feed can wait. THE PROMISE WALL Every vow becomes a glass pane on your wall. Kept vows shine. A broken pane does not shame you; it reforges after seven kept days. Over weeks, the wall becomes a quiet record of who you are becoming: discipline you can look at, rather than a streak you dread losing. DOPAMINE DETOX ON YOUR OWN TERMS Run a phone detox for one evening, a dopamine detox for a weekend, or a longer digital detox to reduce screen time for good. Vowlock is a digital detox app for phone addiction that does not pretend a chart of your usage is the answer. Addiction to the feed loosens its grip when the feed is sealed behind a promise. Recurring schedules seal the same vow on the days and hours you choose, a home screen widget keeps your progress in sight, a Lock Screen countdown keeps the running vow in view, and weekly patterns show when your urges cluster so the next vow covers that hour. YOUR VOWS STAY ON YOUR IPHONE Vowlock is a self control app, not a surveillance app. Your pleas, your vow lines and your app list stay on this device. No account, and none of it is ever sent to us. Apple's Screen Time technology means Vowlock cannot even see the names of the apps you block. Anonymous usage statistics help us improve the app, and one switch in Vowlock's Settings turns them off. Requires iOS 17 or later and Screen Time permission. Free to download, and your first vow is always free, with the full ritual and full strictness. More vows after the first, recurring schedules, your full Promise Wall history and weekly urge patterns come with an optional subscription or one-time purchase, with details shown in the app before any purchase.
