Not everything deserves immediate access to you.
Median holds your most addictive apps for the first part of your morning, so an algorithm doesn’t decide how your day begins.

Before you’ve decided anything about your day, your phone has.
You don’t wake up all at once.
Your judgment is still catching up.
Your apps are already awake.
And what you see first stays with you.
Decide once. Wake up to it.
Choose what can wait while your head is clear. Median holds it every morning, so there’s nothing to fight at 6 a.m.
It’s quietfor now.
Until your morning ends, the apps you chose simply wait. What you do with the quiet is up to you.
Other apps just block it. Median asks why you opened it.
For one second, you notice what pulled you there, and you get something to do instead.
That’s the part that breaks a habit.
Pick the apps that can wait. Choose how long your morning lasts. Median does the rest, every morning.
Need one of them sooner? Open it. That morning just won’t count as yours.

Good to know.
Does Median lock my whole phone?
No. Only the apps you choose are held, and only during your morning. Calls, texts, your alarm and everything else work as usual.
When does my morning start?
The first time you pick up your phone after your morning begins. There’s nothing to schedule or remember.
What if I really need one of my apps?
Open it. Median steps aside for the rest of that morning. It just won’t count as a morning started on your terms.
Can Median see which apps I chose?
No. Apple’s Screen Time keeps your selection on your iPhone, and Median only ever sees an encrypted token for each app.
What do I need?
An iPhone running iOS 17.4 or later.
Tomorrow morning is yours.
