app to block social media and YouTube before bed iPhone
LockHour's Sleep Wind Down mode runs a 60-minute pre-bed focus lock that shields Social, Video, and Entertainment apps — and it can be scheduled to activate automatically every night via iOS so you don't have to make the decision when you're already tired.
Jawaban singkat
The impulse to scroll at night is hardest to resist in exactly the moment when a manually-triggered app blocker fails. LockHour Pro solves this with a schedulable Sleep Wind Down: set a nightly start time and the OS DeviceActivity system activates the block automatically, even if you've forgotten to open the app. The default duration is 60 minutes targeting Social, Video, and Entertainment categories; you can swap in any specific apps or domains. The block ends at a configurable time (default 7 AM) and lifts automatically — no morning steps needed.
Try LockHour Pro on a real example first, and check the current App Store listing for exact features and pricing before you decide.

Perbandingan cepat
| Kebutuhan | Yang perlu diperiksa | Mengapa penting |
|---|---|---|
| Model harga | Periksa apakah fitur penting memerlukan langganan, pembukaan sekali bayar, atau tidak keduanya. | Aplikasi termurah di hari pertama belum tentu termurah setelah setahun. |
| Model privasi | Utamakan pemrosesan di perangkat saat kontennya sensitif. | Dokumen pribadi, resume, data belajar, dan konten keluarga layak ditangani dengan hati-hati. |
| Ekspor / keterikatan | Pastikan format file, berbagi, cadangan, dan kontrol penghapusan. | Aplikasi yang baik seharusnya membantu Anda menyelesaikan tugas, bukan menjebak pekerjaan Anda. |

Tanya jawab
Does the sleep schedule work even if LockHour is not running in the background?
Yes. The schedule is registered with iOS DeviceActivity — the operating system handles triggering it. LockHour does not need to be running in the foreground for the block to activate.
Can I block specific apps for Sleep Wind Down rather than categories?
Yes — the selection uses Apple's FamilyActivityPicker, so you can choose specific apps (e.g. TikTok, Reddit) plus any web domains in addition to or instead of broad categories.
What if I genuinely need to use a blocked app at night?
Without Hard Mode enabled you can end the session immediately in the app. With Hard Mode on, there is a cooldown delay plus a typed confirmation phrase before cancellation — enough friction to interrupt an impulse scroll, but not a parental lock. Someone sufficiently determined can also revoke Screen Time authorization in iOS Settings.
