“One more video, then bed.”
One video ends, another begins. By the time you check the clock, you're past the time you meant to stop.
YOUR EVENING. AND YOUR TOMORROW.
One more video,
then bed.
You meant to go to bed. Then came another video.
Give late-night scrolling a stopping point. Asura blocks the apps you choose during the hours you set.
One shield is free. No purchase required to start.
Requires iOS 26.2 or later, Screen Time permission, and in-app setup.
SOUND LIKE YOUR EVENING?
It's finally your time.
No wonder it's hard to stop.
Work is done. The chores can wait. You want a little time for yourself. But the bedtime you had in mind keeps slipping away.
You closed it. Then reopened it.
You only meant to check a notification. Now you're back in the feed you just left.
Morning brings the same regret.
You wish you'd called it a night earlier. Tonight, you want to stop at a time you chose.
You don't have to give up your whole evening.
Choose a stopping point ahead of time. Asura helps you keep that commitment.
SET UP FOR TONIGHT
Start with one sleep shield.
Choose Sleep during the first-run introduction, then set your late-night apps and the hours to guard. A shield groups the settings for something you want to protect.
Create a Sleep shield
Choose Sleep as the thing you want to protect. One shield is enough to get started, and it's free.
Select the apps to block
Allow Screen Time access, enable App Shield for your shield, and select social or video apps. One shield can include several apps.
Choose your nighttime hours
Under When to Guard, set a window such as 23:00 to 07:00 the next morning. Choose the days that fit your routine, too.

No purchase required. Try your first sleep shield for free.
WHEN YOU WANT TO OPEN IT AGAIN
A moment to choose.
Before you're back in the feed.
During your chosen hours, a shield appears on the apps you've selected. The Asura is your guardian: a reminder of the stopping point you chose for yourself.
A shield on your chosen apps
Pick which apps to block, and on which hours and days. You don't have to block your entire phone.
A short pause when an urge hits
Guided breathing, writing your reason, and other short tasks drawn from 10 intervention forms. Put a pause between wanting to open an app and doing it.
Keep a record of your wins
Complete an intervention and record a win. Daily practice and short teachings support the routine. If a night doesn't go to plan, you can keep going next time.
A way through when you need it
After completing an intervention from the shield, you can choose “Open for 5 min anyway.” This isn't an impossible-to-disable lock.

BEFORE YOU START
A few things to know.
How is this different from iPhone Screen Time?
Asura uses Apple's Screen Time capabilities for blocking. It adds settings grouped around what you want to protect, short interventions when urges hit, and records of your wins. If your iPhone's built-in limits already meet your needs, continuing to use them is an option, too.
Does blocking start as soon as I install it?
No. Allow Screen Time access, choose your apps, enable the App Shield trigger, and set the hours and days to guard. Asura doesn't automatically detect when you should go to bed.
What if I need to open a blocked app?
Complete an intervention from the shield to get the option of a five-minute bypass. You can also remove all shields from inside Asura. Leave apps you need for essential communication out of your blocked selection.
Do I need Apple Watch or Apple Intelligence?
Bedtime app blocking needs an iPhone running iOS 26.2 or later. Apple Watch and Apple Intelligence are not required. Watch features are a Pro extra; AI messages are available on compatible devices.
Will Asura help me sleep?
Asura supports setting a boundary around bedtime app use. It doesn't guarantee better sleep or that an urge will disappear, and it is not intended to treat insomnia or addiction.
What about my records and privacy?
The app has no ads. Records are stored on your device, with iCloud sync also supported. AI messages are generated on compatible devices. See the privacy policy for details.
