Bedside: Sleep & Focus

Night focus · block before bed

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Bedside is a personal focus tool for the hours before sleep. You choose which apps keep you up at night (TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, dating apps — your call) and when your sleep window is. Bedside blocks them during that window, and makes unlocking a little inconvenient on purpose. This is for you, not for watching anyone else. It's built on Apple's Screen Time framework for personal device usage management. Why bother: · Willpower and "I'll put it down in 5 minutes" don't work · Built-in Screen Time limits are too easy to dismiss · A tiny friction step — 60 seconds of staring, a couple of math problems, a line you have to copy — is often enough to put the phone down What it does: 1. Block windows — set nightly schedules (e.g. 22:00 – 07:00); crosses midnight; multiple windows allowed. 2. 3 unlocks per night — each one requires a short random task (countdown, math, transcribe a sentence, shake, or a question you wrote for yourself). Grants 5 minutes. 3. Cooldown lane when you're out — for real emergencies, wait 10 minutes (no task, stays passive). The more you use it tonight, the longer the next wait. 4. Optional guardian password — lock the "edit windows / reset allowance" escape hatches behind a password you set once (or have a friend set it). 5. Fully local — no account, no servers, no uploads. Your app selections and usage stay on your device. Bedside is not an ad blocker, not an enterprise management tool, not for managing someone else's device — only yours.
