How can you unplug from your phone at night?
Choose when your planned day ends, and make closing it out a repeatable routine. A stopping time is a planning boundary—not a promise that your phone will be locked all evening.
- 1.
Set an unplug time
Choose the time you want your planned day to end.
- 2.
Leave room to finish
Plan your blocks to end before that boundary, including honest extra time.
- 3.
Use the reminder
HourTrue reminds you 10 minutes before unplug time so you can wrap up.
- 4.
Close out on time
On-time closeout contributes to your score and XP. Five on-time nights earn the Unplugger badge.
How HourTrue handles this
HourTrue builds the plan around your unplug time and rewards an on-time closeout. A rough evening does not reset your momentum to zero.
Unplug time does not automatically shield apps overnight. App locking is a separate choice for explicitly locked running blocks.
