Curfew

Curfew helps people break the habit of using their devices long after they intended to stop. On iPhone, it blocks distracting apps at bedtime while keeping essential apps available. On Mac, it takes a broader approach by locking the entire screen, making it harder to keep scrolling, working, or browsing through the night.

It’s built around a fixed nightly sleep routine. Choose a curfew time in the evening, and Curfew automatically activates each night before restoring access at 6am. That makes it useful for people dealing with bedtime procrastination, late-night work, or the habit of continuing to use devices after deciding it’s time to sleep.

Common Use Cases

Stopping Late-Night Scrolling

Block distracting iPhone apps when your chosen bedtime arrives so you aren't tempted to keep scrolling.

Ending Late-Night Work

Use the Mac screen lock to create a clear boundary between working hours and your nightly routine.

Building a Consistent Curfew

Set one schedule that automatically activates every night and ends at 6am.

Reducing Bedtime Procrastination

Create a device-level barrier when you know it's time to stop using your phone or computer.

Creating a Screen-Free Night

Use the Mac's full-screen lock to make continued browsing or working less accessible after curfew.

A Fixed Nightly Device Routine

Curfew is built around a simple idea: make the stopping point automatic.

Instead of deciding every night when to put the device away, you choose a curfew once and let the app enforce it. On iPhone, that means restricting distracting apps. On Mac, it means covering the entire screen across displays and Spaces.

A Stronger Boundary on Mac

The Mac version is designed to be difficult to ignore once curfew begins. Rather than targeting individual websites or applications, it locks the whole screen and stays active through the night.

That makes it useful for people whose late-night usage isn't limited to one particular app. Whether you're browsing, working, or switching between applications, the screen-level restriction provides the same boundary.

Separate iPhone & Mac Products

Curfew is available as separate products for iPhone and Mac, allowing you to choose the version that matches the device you want to control.

The Mac version uses a one-time purchase and can be used on two Macs. The iPhone and Mac versions are separate products, so purchasing one does not automatically provide access to the other.

Why It Matters

Knowing when to stop using a device doesn't always make it easy to stop. Late-night scrolling, unfinished work, and endless browsing can push bedtime later even when you've already decided to sleep.

Curfew turns that decision into a recurring device-level boundary. With automatic scheduling, app blocking on iPhone, and full-screen locking on Mac, it helps make the transition away from devices part of your nightly routine.

Set Your Curfew and Step Away

Choose your bedtime, let Curfew enforce it every night, and create a clearer boundary between device use and the rest of your evening.
