Halfway

Halfway?
You’ll see it.

The whole screen changes colour as your time runs down. No charts to read. One glance and you know.

Almost up

Nearly up.
Your call.

A heads-up before the end, so stopping is a choice you make, not a surprise.

Locked

Time’s up.
Apps go red.

Your chosen apps lock behind Apple’s Screen Time screen until midnight. When your rules allow it, you can take two more minutes, once.

Alternate

Still want
the feed?

Come here instead. Pop bubbles, sort a staircase, draw a pattern, feel the rain. A few minutes, then it closes by itself.

Small app.
Firm limit.

Until Red is an upcoming iPhone app for setting a shared daily limit on the apps you choose. It uses Apple’s Screen Time controls to show a shield when your allowance runs out. You can also choose a short, finite activity in Alternate when you want a break from the feed.

A daily limit10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes across the apps you choose.
Built on Screen TimeApple’s own shield does the locking, so it holds.
