Morning Lock
Skip it, and the morning waits.
Didn’t brush? Your apps stay locked past wake-up until you do. The first thing you do tomorrow is the thing you skipped tonight.
7:00 amStill locked. Brush to unlock your morning.
Bedtime app lock for iPhone
Your phone won’t let you sleep until you brush.
At a bedtime you choose, the apps that keep you up lock. Two minutes of camera-checked brushing is the only way to shut the day. Skip it, and they stay locked till morning.

How it works
One rule. Every night.
No willpower required. Dayshut turns bedtime into a door that only opens one way: through the bathroom.
11:00 pm
Your apps lock.
Pick the apps that keep you up. At bedtime, Screen Time locks them, even with Dayshut closed. Calls, messages, maps and alarms never lock.
11:04 pm
Brush for two minutes.
Prop your phone by the mirror. The screen turns into a soft light, and the front camera checks you're really brushing, zone by zone.
11:06 pm
Day shut. Sleep well.
Brush, and the day is shut. Your streak grows, your apps stay quiet, and the screen dims so you put it down.

Brush Check
Two minutes. Checked on camera. Kept on your phone.
The screen turns into a soft mirror light and guides you around your mouth, thirty seconds a zone. Vision checks your face, the brush and the brushing, frame by frame, and forgets each one straight away.

Electric brushes
Works with manual and electric toothbrushes alike.
Never out of reach
Phone, Messages, Maps, Clock and emergency calls are never locked.
Private by design
Your camera never leaves your phone.
A bedtime app sees you at your most private, so it was built to know as little as possible.
No images, ever
Brush Check reads each frame on your phone as it arrives and throws it away. Nothing is recorded, saved or uploaded.
Your apps stay private
Screen Time gives Dayshut private tokens, not app names. We can't see what you do in any app.
No account needed
Your nights stay on your phone. Sign in only if you want a backup you can restore.
No ads, no tracking
We don't sell data, show ads or follow you across apps and websites.

What does Dayshut lock?
Only the apps, categories and websites you choose. Phone, Messages, Maps, Clock and emergency calls always work.
Is the camera recording me?
No. Brush Check analyzes frames on your phone as they arrive and throws them away. Nothing is recorded, saved or uploaded, and only the result (how long you brushed) is kept.
Can I shut the day early?
Yes, within your early-shut window (2 hours before bedtime by default). Your apps lock as soon as you finish.
What happens if I skip brushing?
Your apps stay locked past wake time until you brush in the morning. Your streak resets, unless you have a streak freeze banked.
What's a streak freeze?
You earn one for every 7 nights in a row, up to 2. A freeze saves your streak on a missed night. It doesn't cover emergency unlocks.
What if I really need an app at night?
Use an emergency unlock: a few minutes of access, twice a week by default. After bedtime it ends your streak. When they're used up, you can still break the glass after a 60-second wait.
I'm traveling. What happens?
Dayshut follows your phone's local time. If you change time zone mid-night, tonight finishes on its original schedule and the new time zone applies from tomorrow. You can also pause for up to 14 nights.
Does it work with electric toothbrushes?
Yes. Choose Electric in Brush Check settings and Dayshut looks for the brush at your mouth rather than big brushing strokes.
I can't use the camera.
Turn on Honor Mode in settings for a guided two-minute timer without verification.
How do I cancel?
In Settings > your name > Subscriptions, or from Manage subscription in Dayshut. When it ends, all locks are removed.
Shut the day.
Tonight, the phone goes down when you do. Brush, sleep, and wake up to a day that started well.
