Time Out is the screen time app that helps you build healthier phone habits by locking distracting apps behind exercise goals and schedules. Stop doomscrolling. Reclaim your focus. Take back your day.
Unlike other screen time and parental control apps, Time Out uses exercise-based app blocking to connect your digital habits with your fitness goals. Unlock Instagram, TikTok, or any app only after hitting your step count, burning calories, or completing a workout. Screen time management has never been this motivating.
Key Features:
- Exercise locks – Block apps until you hit a fitness goal. Connect screen time limits with step count, calories burned, or active energy via Apple Health.
- Scheduled app blocking – Automatically lock distracting apps on a recurring daily schedule. Set it and forget it.
- One-time focus sessions – Set a single-use timer to block apps and stay focused for a set period.
- Focus mode integration – Pair app locks with your iPhone's built-in Focus modes for seamless distraction blocking.
- Block lists – Group distracting apps like Instagram, TikTok, and X into block lists for easy management.
- Streaks & stats – Track your consistency with streaks, phone pickup counts, and screen time insights.
- Breaks – Need a moment? Take a controlled break from an active lock without losing your streak.
Who is Time Out for?
Time Out is perfect for anyone struggling with phone addiction, screen time overuse, or digital distraction — students trying to study, professionals trying to focus, and anyone who wants to scroll less and live more.
Stop letting your phone run your day. Download Time Out and start building better habits.
