go to sleep

See how long you're on your phone in bed, and lock it until morning.

go to sleep reads each night from Screen Time: when you got in bed, when you finally put the phone down, every time you woke and picked it up, and when you woke for the day. It runs every night by itself, with no tap needed.

Coming soon to the App Store. For iPhone with iOS 17.4 or later.

A night, read for you

In bed at 23:12, phone down at 00:31, awake from 04:02 to 04:15, woke at 08:47.
In bed before sleep
From getting in bed to putting the phone down. Here, 79 minutes, all of it on the phone. Screen Time reports each minute of use as it happens.
Asleep
A pause of 45 minutes or more without the phone.
Awake in the night
Picking up the phone with more sleep after it. Each time is listed with its minutes on the phone: here, 04:02 to 04:15, with 6 of them on the phone.
Woke
The start of the last time awake. If the phone was moving for a while before you picked it up, go to sleep asks which one was waking.

What it does

Counts without a tap
Every night from 20:00 until noon, without opening the app. You can change the start time. Tap in bed when you get in and that time is exact instead of estimated.
Locks the phone for the night
Tap go to sleep and every app locks except the ones you allow, until a time you set or until you hold the unlock button. Unlocking early doesn't end the night; it keeps counting.
Can lock once you're asleep
Turn on Lock when I fall asleep and the phone locks itself after a long pause at night. A check at 05:00 then shows up as waking, not as a gap.
A budget for the phone in bed
Allow yourself anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours. When it runs out, the lock starts.
Asks when it isn't sure
After a long pause in the morning, a notification asks whether you were asleep. If the phone was moving before you picked it up, it asks when you woke. One tap answers it.
Controls within reach
in bed, go to sleep and I'm up work from Shortcuts and Back Tap, and from Control Center and the Lock Screen on iOS 18, without opening the app.
Nights and weeks
Each night drawn as a bar like the one above, and the week at a glance.

What it sees, and what it doesn't

Screen Time tells go to sleep that another minute of phone use has passed. Nothing more: not which apps, not which websites, not what was on the screen. Time on the Lock Screen or the Home Screen doesn't count.

Motion is optional. With it on, the app reads iPhone's own motion log, which notes when the phone was still, carried or walked with, to place getting in bed and getting up.

Your nights stay on your iPhone. There is no account, and nothing is sent to LT3.

It can't see a trip to the bathroom with the phone left behind, or lying awake without touching it. Both read as sleep. go to sleep is not a medical device and doesn't diagnose anything.
