Features
Real App Blocking, Not Reminders
Apple's built-in Screen Time gets bypassed with a single tap. PhoneCurfew uses the same underlying Screen Time framework to actually stop apps from opening during your curfew window — no alerts you can swipe away, just a clean block screen.
Override That Breaks the Autopilot Scroll
Life happens, so the override exists — but it's intentionally slow. A 60-second countdown plus a typed reason gives you just enough friction to ask whether you really need your phone, or whether it's the dopamine talking.
Privacy-First, On-Device
No account, no cloud, no tracking. PhoneCurfew never sees the apps you choose to block — Apple's framework hands us opaque tokens, not app names. The only outbound network call is to validate your subscription.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Apple's built-in Screen Time?
Apple's Screen Time prompts can be dismissed with a single tap. PhoneCurfew uses the same Screen Time framework Apple provides to apps — but designed for nighttime willpower. The override forces a 60-second wait plus a typed reason, which breaks the autopilot scroll that built-in Screen Time can't.
Does PhoneCurfew know which apps I block?
No. Apple's FamilyControls framework hands us opaque tokens, not app names or bundle IDs. We never know whether you're blocking Instagram, TikTok, or your own work email. Everything stays on your device — no analytics tied to your selection.
What happens during the 7-day free trial?
You get full premium access for 7 days at no charge — OS-level app blocking, override system, weekday and weekend schedules, and the calendar heatmap. Cancel any time through your App Store account settings before the trial ends and you won't be charged.
Do I need an account?
No. PhoneCurfew has no sign-up, no login, no email field. Your schedule, streak, and override logs are stored on your device only via Apple's SwiftData framework.
