Everything you need to cover Disconnect. Screenshots, copy, and contact details — all in one place.
Disconnect is an iOS app that helps people use their phone less — not through willpower alone, but through accountability. Setup takes under two minutes: pick the apps you want to block, choose a lock level, and you're done. There's no dashboard to check, no streaks to maintain. It just runs quietly in the background and keeps distracting apps out of reach.
Soft and Medium locks work without a buddy — a gentle reminder or a 5-minute wait is often enough. For the times when those aren't enough, Hard lock hands control to a trusted person. Only they can approve an early unlock, with a single tap. Disconnect is free to download, with in-app purchase for the full feature set.
Disconnect is an iOS app that helps people use their phone less. Setup takes under two minutes — pick the apps to block, choose a lock level, and it runs quietly from there. No dashboard to manage, no streaks, no ongoing attention required. It uses a three-tier lock system: Soft lock offers a gentle reminder; Medium lock adds a 5-minute cooldown; Hard lock hands control to a trusted buddy, who approves or denies any early unlock with a single tap. Soft and Medium locks work independently — no buddy needed. Disconnect is free to download, with in-app purchase for the full feature set. It is made by Bytehood Ltd. and available on the App Store.
Three lock levels — Soft (instant unlock with a reminder), Medium (5-minute cooldown), and Hard (only a buddy can approve the unlock). Soft and Medium work without a buddy — Hard lock is where accountability kicks in.
Buddy accountability — On Hard lock, a trusted friend receives a push notification and approves or denies the unlock request with one tap. No willpower required.
Scheduled blocking — Set rules that activate automatically on a schedule, so focus time runs without manual setup each day.
Set up in under 2 minutes — No ongoing attention required. Disconnect runs quietly in the background. There's no dashboard to check, no streaks to maintain.
Privacy first — No ads, no selling of user data. Sign in with Apple. Screen time data stays on device.
