Dawn locks the apps that steal your mornings — Instagram, TikTok, X — until you finish a 2-minute gratitude ritual. Take your mornings back.
Choose the apps that hijack your mornings. Dawn locks them at midnight using Apple's Screen Time.
Your apps are locked. Dawn nudges you with a morning reminder. Write 3 gratitudes + 3 intentions.
Ritual done? Apps unlock instantly. You start the day grounded, not scrolling.
Dawn uses Apple's official FamilyControls API — not a flimsy workaround. Apps stay locked even if you kill Dawn or restart your phone.
Track your morning streak from Seedling to Eternal Dawn. Watch days become weeks become a new way to wake up.
Every gratitude and intention is saved locally on your phone. Nothing leaves your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Three gratitudes. Three intentions. Done. No streaks to grind, no notifications nagging — just a small ritual that protects the most important minutes of your day.
"I used to open Instagram before I was even properly awake. After 2 weeks of Dawn I genuinely look forward to my morning ritual."
"The gratitude + intentions combo is so simple but it works. I feel 10× more grounded walking into my day."
"I was sceptical about the blocking feature but it's honestly what keeps me accountable. You write your gratitudes or you don't get Instagram. Simple."
