Stop bedtime doomscrolling and start your morning on your terms. Twilock blocks the apps you choose during scheduled Night and Morning windows. Choose a Night routine before bed, a Morning routine after waking, or both. Each window lasts 15–120 minutes. Schedule the same times every day, separate weekdays and weekends, or custom days. Every enabled routine uses Strict Mode: routine settings are locked during active windows. Configure a timed early unlock before a window starts; choosing None disables that option. Revoking Screen Time access in iOS can end protection. Build streaks, earn badges and explore Insights. Optional Friends lets you connect by invite code and follow a shared leaderboard. New users need a monthly or annual subscription, or an eligible trial. Eligible legacy users keep their existing access, and existing Lifetime purchases remain supported. Prices and trial eligibility appear before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage subscriptions in your App Store account. Restore Purchases is available in the app. Selected app identities and raw Screen Time usage stay on your device. Optional account, progress and friend data can sync. Product analytics and purchase services support the app; tracking permission is optional. Read the privacy policy for details.
