iOS Screen Time fails because you know the passcode
We guide you to set a Screen Time passcode you won't remember, then lock it away and enforce a fixed waiting period before you can retrieve it.

The Problem
- Too easy to bypass: Native Screen Time limits don't work because you already know the passcode. "Ignore Limit" is always just a tap away.
- Asking a friend is awkward: You could have someone else set the passcode, but it's inconvenient. You don't want to be a burden, and you're stuck if you need it when they're not around.
WaitToUnlock is your "other person"
WaitToUnlock isn't another app on your phone. It works with the Screen Time passcode feature already built into your iPhone. We just make sure you can't remember it.
- Create Friction: Follow a guided sequence to set an iOS Screen Time passcode your brain won't memorize.
- Lock It Away: Your code is encrypted and stored securely, like handing it to a trusted friend who's always available.
- Wait to Unlock: A 6-hour wait gives you space to reconsider impulsive urges, while ensuring you can still access your settings when you truly need to.
