AppTimeOut is an app blocker and focus timer with locks that hold, even against yourself.

Most blockers fail because you can switch them off the moment you feel the urge. AppTimeOut gives you three ways to lock distractions away, including one where a friend holds the key.

TIMER LOCK: FOCUS TIMER FOR STUDY AND WORK
Start a focus timer and block your chosen apps and websites until it ends. When time is up, everything unlocks on its own.

SCHEDULE LOCK: AUTOMATIC SCREEN TIME LIMITS
Set recurring block times, like 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays, or overnight from 10 PM to 6 AM. Set it once and it enforces itself every day.

BUDDY LOCK: AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER HOLDS THE KEY
Struggling with "just 5 more minutes"? Choose a trusted friend as your accountability buddy. With Buddy Lock on, only the code they send you can end a lock early.

PERMISSIONS AND PRIVACY

This happens entirely on your device: AppTimeOut never collects, stores or shares what you browse or the apps you use. You can turn the service off anytime in Settings.
