What it does

Twilock blocks apps that pull you into doomscrolling before bed and after waking without locking down your entire day. Set protected windows, build streaks, track reclaimed time, and stay accountable with friends. Your Screen Time data stays on your device.

Twilock is an app blocker for iPhone that shields distracting apps before sleep and after waking with focused windows and optional Strict Mode.

Use Apple’s Screen Time picker to select the apps or categories that tend to steal your night. Set a Night window of up to two hours. Pro adds a second focused window for the morning. When a window starts, your chosen apps…from twilock.com

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
