Pick the bedtime
Choose when you want to sleep, when apps should pause, and when morning starts.
Bedtime app blocker for iPhone
The bedtime app that gets you to bed at the time you picked.
Scroll all day if you need to. WindDown never touches your daytime. But an hour before the bedtime you picked, every distraction pauses. Your books and podcasts stay open. Morning brings everything back.

Our point of view
We only care about
We only care about
your night.
We do not care if you doomscroll all day long.
Life is hard. If scrolling on the train or watching six hours of nonsense gets you through a bad week, that is your business. WindDown will never mention it.
The night is different. We think sleep is the most important thing a person does, and it is the one thing you cannot fake or borrow against forever.
So the night is the only part we touch. From wind-down until morning, the noise goes quiet. The rest of your clock is yours.
How it works
One schedule.
One schedule.
Three quiet decisions.
WindDown puts your phone to bed first, so going to bed does not depend on winning one last willpower contest.
Keep the good stuff
Kindle, Libby, Audible, Books, and podcasts can stay open. You choose with Apple's Screen Time picker.
Wake up with everything back
Shields lift automatically. The morning report tells you whether the night held.
The Gate
A way out that makes you mean it.
Need an app before morning? You can always get through. You just cannot do it mindlessly.
The Gate slows the moment down with honest questions. Catch yourself, keep the shield, and your streak survives.
