Pick the apps that take more than they give.
Flip one toggle. DumbFone holds the block until you return.
Different reasons. Same toggle.
Puts the phone down to think, then picks it up before the thought lands. One message becomes twenty minutes he didn’t mean to spend.
Puts the kids to bed, gives herself twenty minutes on the sofa. Twenty becomes fifty. Feels worse for it. Reaches for it again tomorrow.
Puts the phone face-down, not away. Ten minutes later it's face-up again. One notification becomes forty minutes he won't get back.
DumbFone locks your iPhone down to calls and texts with one toggle. Apps stay blocked until you choose to turn DumbFone off.
Yes. Phone, Messages and FaceTime remain available, so the people who matter can still reach you.
There is no ‘ignore for today’ button. The block holds through locking, unlocking and restarting your iPhone.
They may. DumbFone blocks apps, not Apple’s notification layer. We would rather be clear about that than pretend otherwise.
No. There is no account, advertising or remote backend. Your app-control settings stay on your iPhone.
