Protect your evenings, not just track them.
The lock you set at 9 PM is the one your midnight self has a much harder time talking its way out of. Put the feed down on schedule and get your wind-down back.

The honest part
Screen time reports don't put the phone down.
By the time you notice you've lost two hours, you've already lost them. Awareness was never the problem at night. Friction is. QuitScrolling adds just enough of it to make the impulsive scroll not worth the effort.
What changes
A boundary that survives midnight.
Wind down on schedule
Protected hours start automatically, so the feed closes when your evening should. No willpower required in the moment.
A boundary that holds
Unlocking early means getting up to find a paper recovery phrase. Usually that's enough to make you reconsider and stay in bed.
Always reachable
Calls and essential functions are never blocked. The friction is only for the apps that keep you up.
How a protected night works
Decide once, while you're thinking clearly.
- 1
Set your nightly window by day
Choose the hours your distracting apps should be off-limits, and which apps to include.
- 2
The lock activates at bedtime
When your window starts, the feed goes quiet automatically. Nothing to remember or toggle.
- 3
Impulses meet friction
If you reach for it anyway, you'll have to retrieve your phrase or wait out an emergency delay. Most of the time, you won't bother.
Frequently asked questions
Why this use case
The problem with phones at night.
The phone is the single biggest reason people get less sleep than they want. The light hits the same eye that's trying to settle. The feed feeds the brain just enough novelty to keep it active. The clock math starts. The next thing you remember is 1:47 a.m. and a regret you'll carry into tomorrow.
Screen Time tries to fix this with a timer. The timer works fine until you tap "Ignore for 15 minutes," which is when you actually needed it not to work fine.
How QuitScrolling holds the line.
- The boundary is set in the afternoon when you're regulated. The midnight version of you doesn't get to renegotiate it.
- Unlocking the feed requires typing the recovery phrase from a piece of paper. The phone-in-bed version of you doesn't want to do that.
- Calls and essential apps stay open. Real emergencies get through. The feed doesn't.
- No streak shaming. No "you broke your run." Just a quiet boundary and an honest morning report.
What people see in the first week.
Most users see 60 to 90 minutes more sleep within the first week, mostly because they stop the post-midnight scroll. The morning report shows what got blocked and what didn't.
