Less scrolling at bedtime. More room for sleep. Fewer distractions during the day. More time for what matters. DigiBound is a screen time manager and app blocker built around bedtime. With automatic app limits, a focus timer, and daily goals, it helps you put your phone down at night and stay focused when it's time to study, work, or do something for yourself. AUTOMATIC BEDTIME LIMITS Choose the apps, categories, or websites you want to limit. Set your start time, end time, and days. Sleep Lock applies your limits on schedule and removes those limits when the window ends. Overnight schedules are supported. Set it once: your schedule runs even when DigiBound isn't open. Give yourself room to rest instead of watching one more video. Basic automatic Sleep Lock is free. No subscription or nightly manual start required. A ROUTINE FOR YOUR KIND OF WEEK An earlier bedtime on work nights? A different plan for the weekend? Pro lets you set up three bedtime routines, each with its own times and days. Plans changed tonight? Skip just that occurrence. Later scheduled limits continue without having to set everything up again. LESS DISTRACTION. MORE FOCUS. Read a chapter. Study for an exam. Move a project forward. Make time for a hobby. Choose a focus duration and the apps you want to block, including distracting social, video, or gaming apps. Save your usual focus modes so you can start again without repeating the setup. SET A DAILY GOAL. SEE YOUR PROGRESS. Choose how many focus sessions you want to complete each day. See your progress and total focus time on the Today screen. Each completed session brings you closer to your goal. Review your focus history and reports to see where you've put your time. With Pro, you can also look back at your bedtime records over the past 7 or 30 days. FREE AND PRO The free version includes: โ€ข Basic automatic Sleep Lock, repeating at your chosen times and on your chosen days. โ€ข One manually started focus session per day. Pro adds: โ€ข Three bedtime routines for different parts of your week. โ€ข 7-day and 30-day bedtime reviews. โ€ข Unlimited manually started focus sessions. YOUR LIMITS. YOUR PRIVACY. No account or sign-in required. DigiBound limits only the content you select; it doesn't lock your entire device. Apple Screen Time permission is requested when you enable restrictions. You can revoke it in Settings. DigiBound uses privacy-preserving selection tokens provided by iOS and does not upload the names of your selected apps or websites. Bedtime reviews reflect activity recorded within DigiBound, not your actual sleep duration or sleep-tracking measurements. Bound your screen. Free your time. SUBSCRIPTIONS Pro is optional. Prices, billing periods, and trial offers for eligible users are shown on the App Store purchase screen. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed or canceled through the App Store.

PEAK turns a focus session into a commitment your phone helps you defend. Pick what distracts you. Pick how long you want to work. Then lock in. For the length of the session PEAK uses Apple's Screen Time to shield the apps and websites you chose, so the decision to focus gets made once instead of every ninety seconds. LOCK THEM OUT Choose apps, categories and websites through Apple's own picker. PEAK never learns which ones you picked. Screen Time hands the app an opaque token and nothing else. STRICT MODE Strict mode holds the session closed. Quitting early takes a deliberate confirmation rather than a reflex tap, so a dull moment does not cost you the block. PRESETS THAT FIT THE WORK SPRINT runs 25 minutes on and 5 off. DEEP WORK runs 50 and 10. LOCK IN runs 90 and 15. Build your own when none of those match the task. A DAILY TARGET Set a target in minutes and watch the day fill in. Progress keeps your completed sessions, your streak and an honest record of where the hours went. ROUTINES Schedule recurring sessions by weekday and time. The morning block starts itself. HOLD TO COMMIT Starting a session takes a press and hold rather than a tap. Small friction, deliberately placed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sessions, presets and routines stay on your device. There is no account, no login and no cloud sync, and your Screen Time selection never leaves your phone. PEAK PRO PEAK is a subscription app. Full access needs PEAK Pro, an auto-renewing subscription available as a weekly or a yearly plan. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.
