Timeout: Earn Your Screen Time

Pause the pull of distracting apps and make room for more of your day.

Choose the apps you want to use more intentionally. Set daily app boundaries, then choose a 5, 10, or 15 minute session when you need one.

Make the pause yours:

- Use an included daily open when available, or complete a camera-counted workout to earn another session.
- Move, learn, or breathe in Practice. Saved karma gives you another way to open an app.
- Set personal goals and review your Timeout activity.
- Share selected Timeout activity with a private circle if you want encouragement.
- Find nearby place and event ideas when you want time away from your phone.

Free includes one restricted app and three daily opens. Premium adds more restricted apps, lets you choose one to seven daily opens per app, and includes unlimited camera workouts and learning.

Prices and billing periods appear before purchase. Premium subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in your Google Play account settings. Urgent access remains free.

How Timeout uses Android permissions

AccessibilityService API: With your consent, Timeout detects app transitions and returns you to Timeout when an app you selected is blocked by your boundaries. It does not read screen text, messages, or passwords; take screenshots; or perform taps or gestures.

Separate Usage Access permission identifies the foreground app and measures app usage for your boundaries. Accessibility events and app usage records are processed on your device and are not uploaded or shared.

You can disable "Timeout app boundaries" in Android Settings > Accessibility at any time. Timeout is a voluntary wellbeing app, not an accessibility tool for people with disabilities.

Camera images and movement counting stay on your device. The camera technology may send performance and usage diagnostics to Google, as explained in our Privacy Policy.

A Timeout account is optional. With your permission, backup saves new Timeout activity and granted access minutes, not measured time spent in other apps.
