Timeout - Minimalist Launcher

Take Back Control of Your Screen Time

Are you tired of endless scrolling? Do you pick up your phone for a minute and lose an hour? Timeout is more than just an app blocker, it's a bold, minimalist Android Launcher designed to help you break free from phone addiction and live in the present.

By replacing your default home screen with a distraction-free, elegant interface, Timeout completely changes how you interact with your device. It introduces friction where you need it most, prioritizing intentionality over mindless browsing.

Key Features:

⏳ Smart App Blocking & Timers

Before opening an addictive app, Timeout asks you to set a specific time limit. When time's up, the app is blocked. One more minute is still possible, but you have to earn it.

⏱️ Daily Limits

Give an app a maximum time per day. Once it's used up, the app stays blocked until midnight. Need it for something important? A gentle "+1 minute" is always there, with a little more friction each time you ask, instead of a hard wall.

🌙 Schedules

Block the apps you choose during the hours you pick: social media in the evening, games during work. Overnight schedules (e.g. 10 PM to 7 AM) are supported.

🎯 Daily Screen Time Goal (new)

Choose a goal suggested from your real average. Each day you stay under it grows your streak, shown right on your home screen. The goal adjusts every week: a bit lower when you keep it, easier when it's too hard. Every Sunday evening, a weekly report waits for you on the home screen (no notification).

🧘 Pause Before Opening (new, optional)

A few seconds to breathe before opening the apps you choose, just enough to decide if you really want to.
