Detailed overview
Lockout mode
Each lockout has a lockout mode associated with it. The blocked apps mode allows you to choose a list of apps you want blocked during the lockout. The allowed apps mode allows you to choose a list of apps you want to allow during the lockout. The most strict is the lock screen only mode, which only allows use of the lock screen. You can still answer calls or call emergency numbers in lock screen only mode.

Usage based lockouts
Configure rules that will trigger an automatic lockout based on your device usage. With usage based lockouts enabled, total screen time, usage of apps, and number of unlocks will be monitored. You can set up usage rules that trigger a lockout based on total screen time, time spent in specific apps, number of times specific apps are opened, or number of device unlocks. Usage rules can be scheduled to only be enforced at certain times.

Scheduled lockouts
Set up lockouts that repeat regularly on a schedule. You can choose the start and end time, the days of the week, the lockout mode, and additional options for each scheduled lockout.

One-time lockout
Quickly start a one-time lockout for today. You can set a custom duration, lock until a certain clock time, or schedule a lockout for later on.

Lockout options
Each lockout has its own configurable options. The lockout can turn on Do Not Disturb (DND), silence the ringer, block websites, or only begin the lockout at chosen physical locations. DND is important to helps us eliminate frequent interruptions, which is vital for our focus, productivity, and mental health. Having lockouts limited to specific physical locations can improve focus while at school, the gym, or anywhere else apps can be a distraction. The website blocker works well when you don't want to block the entire browser app.

Additional settings
There are many additional options on the settings screen to fine tune the app to your liking.

Premium version
The premium version allows an unlimited number of lockouts (5 free), an unlimited number of apps (10 free), an unlimited number of websites (5 free), and an unlimited number of locations (5 free). Please consider upgrading to premium to support future development!
