How Timo works
A clearer boundary before apps pull you in
Timo turns phone use into a deliberate choice, not a reflex.
Keep essentials available
Leave important apps like messaging, maps, banking, calendar, and utilities accessible.
Start intentional sessions
When you want screen time, choose a reason and duration before access opens.
Build calmer habits
Use sessions, limits, reminders, and history to make better defaults easier to keep.
