Here’s the iOS app blocker info: 1.Options (iPhone & iPad) Apple provides two built-in methods to enforce a wind-down routine without paying a cent. Option A: Screen Time Downtime (The Strictest Free Option) This feature schedules a blanket lock on your phone, darkening all app icons except the ones you explicitly permit. How to set it up: Open Settings > Screen Time > Downtime. Turn it on and set your nightly schedule (e.g., 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM). Customize allowed apps: Go back to Screen Time > Always Allowed to pick essential tools (like Phone, Messages, or your daily Tibetan yogic practice and meditation apps). The "Save Money" Lockdown: To prevent yourself from just clicking "Ignore Limit" when tempted, ask a trusted friend or partner to open Screen Time, tap Use Screen Time Passcode, and enter a 4-digit PIN that you do not know. Option B: Sleep Focus & Wind Down This method minimizes visual clutter and silences notifications to help your brain prepare for sleep. How to set it up: Open Settings > Focus > Sleep. Set the schedule: Customize your sleep hours and set a "Wind Down" buffer (e.g., starting 45 minutes before sleep). What it does: It dims your lock screen, hides notification badges, and silences non-urgent alerts so your phone stops demanding your attention.
