Rest: stop scrolling for hours

Meant 5 minutes, spent 47? Rest gives you a gentle tap when a scroll runs long, sends you on a short walk, and shows what that time turns into.

You open an app for five minutes. Then the scroll takes over. It happens to everyone.

Rest gives you a gentle tap on the shoulder when a visit runs long. Take a short walk, then choose again. No guilt, no streaks, nothing to earn.

HOW IT WORKS

• Make a deal with yourself: pick the apps that pull you in, how long a normal visit is, and how you'll reset.
• Get a heads-up a minute before, then one gentle tap when the time is up.
• Take a lap: about three minutes, phone in your pocket. The hallway, the stairs, round the block, it all counts. Prefer to stay put? Choose "Phone down" instead: screen off, face down, three minutes.
• Then choose again: back for ten more minutes, or done for now. Both are good answers.

SEE WHAT YOUR TIME TURNS INTO Every Sunday, Rest shows you a calm weekly summary:

• Time you took back from long scrolls
• Your steps against your own four weeks before Rest
• Sleep on nights you stopped scrolling earlier
• Workouts you started soon after putting the phone down
• One-thing tasks you finished in the time you got back These are patterns in your own data, never promises.

BUILT TO BE KIND

• Unlock any time, no questions asked.
• A gentler "It's late" tap after your bedtime.
• Open apps on purpose with the doorway widget: decide how long before you go in.
• Pim, a small friend who naps when your apps rest.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• Uses Apple's Screen Time framework. Rest knows when a watched app is used and for how long, never what you look at.
• Your posts, messages, searches and photos are never seen.
• No account. Your activity stays on your iPhone.
• Health data is read only, used only for your weekly summary, and never leaves your phone.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED Screen Time access is required. Motion, notifications and Health are optional: without them, laps are timed instead of counted, and the weekly summary shows laps and time back only.
