Choose what to block, then tap your phone on Dino. Distracting apps stay blocked until you walk back and tap again. By taking care of yourself, you take care of your Dino.
An app blocker that you cannot ignore.
Screen limits live on the same phone you are trying to put down. Dino moves the off switch across the room, so getting distracting apps back takes a deliberate walk and another tap.
The more you are away from the phone, the better Dino feels—and so do you.

Three steps. Then real life.
01 / CHOOSE
01
Choose apps
Pick the apps you want to block. Keep calls, maps, music, and everything else you still need.

Your distracting apps block immediately. Leave Dino across the room and take your break with you.
03
Walk back when you are ready
Tap Dino again whenever you want your distracting apps back.
THE POINT
Go do something better.
Every minute your apps stay quiet is a minute for sleep, work, people, or play.

FROM EARLY RECESS USERS
What people say.
My phone finally feels quiet
After one week, my phone finally feels quiet. I still have what I need, but it is much easier to step away from late-night scrolling.
A boundary I cannot ignore
I have tried every app limit. Recess is the first one that feels like a real boundary, not another setting I can ignore.
Bedtime feels different
I set my mode before bed, leave Recess by the door, and wake up without falling straight into my phone.
Tiny object, huge reset
It is such a small change to my setup, but it completely changes how I use my phone. Everyone asks about it.
It actually helps me focus
Nothing else has helped me put my phone down this consistently. I can finally finish what I start.
Care, not shame.
Joy, not discipline.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
How is Dino different from Screen Time?
Screen limits are easy to bypass. Dino creates physical separation, so ending a recess means walking back and tapping again.
Are there recurring fees?
No subscription is required to block apps. App blocking is free forever. The first edition also includes Recess+ for life.
Can I use one Dino with multiple phones?
Yes. One Dino works with as many phones as you would like, and one phone can work with multiple Dinos.
Which phones are compatible?
Dino works with Android 12.0+ and iPhones on iOS 17.0+.
What if I lose Dino?
The app includes five emergency unlocks that automatically unblock all apps.
When does Dino ship?
Dino ships in November. We will email tracking as soon as your order leaves the warehouse.
