Until Red

until red.

Pick the apps that pull you in and how long you allow each day. When the time is up, they lock until tomorrow.

Coming soon to the App Store For iPhone, iOS 17 or later. Free to start.
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. On Easy, you can take two more minutes, up to three times a day. On Firm, one extra time, after you play. On Locked, none.

Alternate

Still want
the feed?

Come here instead. Pop bubbles, sort a staircase, spin dots into a sunflower, feel the rain. Go again as often as you like, and after a few minutes it closes by itself.

Small app.
Firm limit.

Until Red is an upcoming iPhone app for setting a 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 to 90 minutes across the apps you choose: social, video, games, shopping, betting or news. Give up to 3 apps their own minutes, free, or up to 8 with Pro.
Your real weekSee your top apps ranked by last week’s Screen Time and choose the ones that take too much. Then see your week as seven colours, next to the week before. Your own line goes on the red screen.
Built on Screen TimeApple’s own shield does the locking, so it holds.
Rules for your dayOne schedule, like bedtime, and Go red now whenever you want it, free. More schedules and a few short Visits instead of one long scroll, with Pro.
WidgetsToday’s colour and minutes on your Home Screen, and where the day stands on your Lock Screen, free. Each app’s colour on your Home Screen, right above its icon, with Pro.
How hard it holdsEasy lets you change anything, any time. Firm holds any change that gives you more time until midnight. Both are free, with an emergency pass every 24 hours. Locked, with Pro, removes extra time, the pass and time off, and stops apps being deleted.
Private by designNo account, no ads, no tracking. Your data stays on your iPhone; the app checks Apple’s time server when needed.
Fair pricingFree to use. Try Pro free for 14 days with Pro Yearly, which renews yearly unless you cancel.
