MorningGuard blocks your distracting apps by itself for the first hour after you wake up. You never open it. That leaves you time to drink water, move, and plan your day before the scrolling starts.
Built for people who want their mornings back
Pick the apps you want out of your morning and set your wake time once. Every morning the block turns on automatically, before you touch your phone. You don't open the app or tap a thing.
A guided flow takes you through one step at a time: water, movement, morning light, a few breaths, a journal entry, and the one thing you want to get done today.
When your window ends, the apps unlock on their own. You don't have to remember to turn anything back on.
Set your wake time once and the block runs on its own every morning, with no app to launch. This is the core of MorningGuard: your apps are already locked before you can reach for them.
Move through water, sunlight, breathing, journaling, and your top task, one step at a time.
Dictate your journal entry or say your focus for the day out loud. MorningGuard writes it down as you talk.
See this morning's conditions the moment you open the app, before you'd normally check Instagram.
Get one of 50 built-in affirmations as a morning notification, or write your own.
No account, no cloud, no ads. Everything stays on your device, and Apple's own design keeps your blocked apps hidden even from us.
MorningGuard uses Apple's Screen Time API, the same system parents use for their kids, applied here to your own focus. We can't see your blocked apps, your journal, or your location. All of it stays on your phone.
