How it works

Five steps.
Zero willpower.

offtime turns a physical key into the gate between you and your distractions. Set it up once, then stop negotiating with yourself.

  1. Pick what blocks you

    Choose the apps, categories, or websites that pull you in.

  2. Lock them with a key

    Tuck a QR or NFC tag somewhere out of reach — drawer, kitchen, door.

  3. Start a focus session

    One tap. The apps go dark until you actively choose to come back.

  4. Unlock on purpose

    Scan the key to get your apps back. The friction is the feature.

  5. See the shift

    Weekly insights show the time — and attention — you got back.
