You're exhausted.
And you still won't put the phone down.

It's 1:47 AM. You're tired. You're still scrolling. That's revenge bedtime procrastination, and it's not a discipline problem. Lights Out makes sleep the lazy option: at bedtime your apps actually lock, and they stay locked until 6 AM. Want the phone back sooner? That costs 10 real squats.

Your apps lock. You earn them back.

One tap ends the loop. Lights Out puts your apps behind a real lock screen using Apple's Screen Time, then seals your night until 6:00 AM. Come back at 1:30 AM and you get the lock screen, not a free pass: the only way back that keeps your streak is 10 real squats, counted live by your phone's motion sensor.

  • 1Tap Shut it down, name one reason you're still up
  • 2Your apps go behind a lock screen, and a short wind-down begins
  • 3The night is sealed until 6:00 AM
  • 4Phone back early? 10 real squats, counted by your phone
  • 5Give up instead and tonight is voided: streak resets

Set your lights-out time once and it can lock every night automatically, even if you never open the app. Around it: a 3-night challenge, a nights journal that remembers how each night ended, and an optional sync account.

The lock is friction, not a cage.

Make sleep the lazy option.

Tonight, the phone goes down at a time you picked, not at the time your feed decides.
