automatically locks your phone every friday. reconnects you with what matters.

what is this?

shabbes mode is an ios app that automatically locks distracting apps on your phone during shabbat (friday sunset → saturday night).

or use custom break mode: lock your phone for any duration, anytime you want. perfect for anyone seeking intentional phone breaks, not just shabbat observers.

no willpower needed. no manual setup. just set it once and your phone goes into "peace mode" when you need it.

questions?

can i customize which apps get blocked?

yes! you choose what gets locked. keep emergency apps accessible.

what if i don't keep traditional shabbes?

perfect! use "custom break mode" to lock your phone anytime, for any duration. 2 hours, a full day, whatever you need. it's for anyone wanting intentional phone breaks.

can i exit early in a real emergency?

yes, there's an emergency exit button. but we'll gently remind you what that means first.

will this work on android?

ios first. if there's demand, android is next. let us know you want it!

how does the automatic timing work?

we use zmanim apis (hebcal) to pull accurate candle lighting and havdalah times for your city. updates automatically each week.
