The day

Your phone on your side until bedtime.

Slothdom plans the day as well as the night. Apps that pull you away stay blocked from your alarm to bedtime, with breaks when you need them and one number, healthy time, for how the day went.

The plan

Six phases, one alarm.

Every time in the plan comes from your alarm and your bedtime, so moving the alarm moves the whole day. Free gives you one plan for weekdays and one for weekends. Pro gives each day its own.

An example weekday

Example

An example weekend

Example

The default weekend has no alarm and no work block. Change either in the app. Both examples are the default plan, drawn by the same code the app uses.

Mornings

The wake-up lock

When the alarm rings, everything is blocked until you stop it and walk 4 steps. That gets you out of bed, not just awake in it.

  • It always lets go after 30 minutes, so nobody is stuck.
  • Phone calls, messages and emergency calls are never blocked.
  • Our own app is never blocked either.

Any time

Breaks, not walls

One tap on the shield or in the Focus tab unblocks everything for a while. Every break is logged, and time spent in apps during one counts like any other.

5 min10 min15 min

Breaks work in every phase except the wake-up lock. Slothdom Pro has hard mode, which turns breaks off in the phases you choose.

Healthy time

24 hours, minus the scroll.

Healthy time is the time you are asleep, plus the time you are awake and away from entertainment apps. Every minute is one or the other, so it works out as 24 hours minus your entertainment time.

Your streak counts days at or above your target. The default target is 21 hours, which is the same as a budget of 3 hours of entertainment a day. It is a number you can change, and the app shows it as the budget so it is easy to see.

A missed day does not wipe the streak. You earn a freeze for every 7 days in a row. Free banks up to 2, and Slothdom Pro banks up to 5.

Today is never counted against you until it is over.

Friends

A streak is better with company.

Friends are ranked on healthy time, averaged over the last 7 days. It is a number you control, not a score from a sensor, and we never rank anyone on sleep stages.

Your friends see your healthy time and your streak. They never see which apps you use, and you can turn off sharing your day at any time.

“Everyone” is an average across members, and it only appears once at least 20 people are in the group, so nobody can be picked out of it.

On your phone

What iPhone and Android can each do.

iPhone

  • You pick the apps in Apple's own Screen Time picker. Apple does not let any app choose a category for you, so the app tells you what to tick: Social, Entertainment and Games.
  • Entertainment time is counted in 15 minute steps. Apple tells the app when you cross each step, not the exact minutes, so a day reads as “at least” a number.
  • Day stats start on the day you set blocking up. iPhone has no history from before.
  • The backup alarm needs iOS 26.

Android

  • With your permission to see app usage, the app reads real minutes, not steps.
  • You confirm the list of entertainment apps in a picker. Well-known apps start ticked, and you can add or remove anything.
  • Blocking uses a screen the app draws over the blocked app, with no special accessibility access.
  • Some earlier days can be read from the phone.

Slothdom Pro

The day plan is free. Pro tailors it.

The default plan, a weekday and weekend version, breaks, healthy time, leaderboards and a backup alarm are all free. Slothdom Pro adds:

  • A different plan and alarm for each day
  • Hard mode (no breaks)
  • Bank up to 5 streak freezes

Questions

How does the day plan work?

Your plan runs from your alarm to bedtime. When the alarm rings, everything is blocked until you stop it and walk 4 steps, and the lock always lets go after 30 minutes. Then comes a free morning, a work block where entertainment apps are blocked, a free evening, and a wind-down hour with a short allowance before it blocks. At bedtime, entertainment stays blocked until the alarm. Our own app, phone calls, messages and emergency calls are never blocked.

Can I still take a break?

Yes. One tap unblocks everything for 5, 10, 15 minutes, in every phase except the wake-up lock. Pro has hard mode, which removes breaks in the phases you pick, for people who want that.

What is healthy time?

Healthy time is 24 hours minus your time in entertainment apps. Every minute you are asleep or away from them counts. The streak counts days at or above your target, which starts at 21 hours. That is the same as an entertainment budget of 3 hours a day, and you can change it.

Why does iPhone count entertainment time in 15 minute steps?

Apple lets an app know when you cross a time limit, not read your usage minute by minute. So on iPhone the app records each 15 minute step you cross, and a day is "at least" that many minutes. Android reports real minutes. Either way, the numbers are for you and your friends, not a measurement to the minute.

Can my friends see which apps I use?

No. Friends see your healthy time and your streak, as a number. Which apps you use stays on your phone, and you can switch off sharing your day with friends whenever you like. A comparison with everyone only appears once at least 20 people are in the group, so nobody can be picked out.

What happens if I miss a day or a night?

You earn a streak freeze for every 7 days in a row and can hold up to 2 (Pro holds up to 5). A freeze covers a missed day or night so your streak survives. If you do lose a streak the app will not guilt you about it.
