Better sleep begins before bed.
You mean to put the phone down. Then it's midnight, and you're still scrolling. Elsewhere makes the decision once, earlier in the day, so you don't have to make it again at 11pm.
How it works
Tell Elsewhere when you usually go to bed and choose the apps that keep you up. An hour before bedtime, those apps go quiet on their own. Open one and you'll see a calm reminder instead: You're elsewhere. This can wait. At bedtime, it all ends silently, with no alerts and no bright screens.
Made for evenings
• Automatic wind-down on the nights you choose • Quiets apps, categories and websites you pick with Apple's Screen Time • Optional gentle reminder before your wind-down begins • Skip tonight or pause anytime, with no guilt and no streaks to lose • Start a ritual whenever you need one, from 15 minutes to 3 hours • A private weekly view of the time you've made for yourself
Private by design
No account needed. Apple's Screen Time keeps your app choices on your iPhone; Elsewhere never sees which apps you picked. No ads, and no data sold. Sign in with Apple only if you want your history saved across reinstalls.
What Elsewhere is, and isn't
Elsewhere quiets the apps you choose. It doesn't lock your phone, track your sleep or make medical claims. Calls, messages and anything you leave unselected stay available.
Membership

Small refinements for calmer, more dependable evenings.
• Clearer guidance when setting up your evening, so you always know whether it's ready to run tonight.
• Signing in with Apple now tells you plainly if something didn't go through.
• Bug fixes and polish.
