What is timeout.

Timeout is a physical card and app that blocks distracting apps on your phone. Once activated, there is no bypass, helping you cut screen time, sleep better, stay focused, and build healthier phone habits.

Why Other Methods Fail:

Apple Limits

Easy to click ignore.

Deleting Apps

Easy to re-download.

Grayscale

Easy to turn off.

timeout. adds real friction.

Modern apps are built to keep you scrolling, so we created a physical barrier. Set phone rules, and unlock them only with your Timeout Card—no other way. Timeout makes distractions inconvenient, helping you think before you scroll.

How it works.

1. Choose Distractions.

Choose your distracting apps that you want to block in the timeout app.

2. Start timeout.

Once setup, Tap phone on your card to activate timeout mode.

3. You are now free.

The apps become locked instantly. The only way to re-unlock is to manually tap your card again - no loopholes. So keep the card out of reach—like downstairs or in another room—and unlocking it becomes a conscious choice.

Dont waste 20 Years.

The average person will waste 20 years of their life on their phone - timeout helps take back your time.

I deleted Instagram three times. timeout. is the first thing that actually stuck. The card on my desk is the friction I needed.

Strict Mode sounds intense until you realize how much time you get back. No more 'five more minutes' on TikTok.

Screen Time limits never worked for me — I'd always tap through. The physical card changed everything.
