The Phone Lock for Bedtime Routines With Your Kids

Bedtime is the longest single window most parents try to keep phone-free. A bath plus a story plus a song is 30 quiet minutes. It is also 30 minutes of pings that eventually pull you out of the page mid-sentence.

The phone lock for bedtime routines is the one that holds for the full bedtime story or the full bath time, not the one that pings notifications through and waits for you to dismiss them mid-page. Pause Moment locks your own phone for the duration you set — 10 minutes for the story, 30 minutes for the full routine. Your photo of your kids and the words you wrote in the morning appear on the lock. Notifications keep arriving but stay invisible. The bedtime story finishes uninterrupted.

This summarizes the bedtime-routine use case. Pause Moment’s full guide for parents: The Phone Lock for Parents Who Want to Be Present (Not Another Screen-Time Tracker).
