06Everyday moments
When do I disconnect?
Wind down
The end of the day is yours again. One tap blocks the apps you choose, and everything else on your phone carries on working.
Focus
Get your head down for an hour, or the whole afternoon. The apps you choose stay blocked until you tap the tag again.
Family and friends
Dinner at home, or a night out with your mates. Your phone still works the whole time, the distracting apps just don't.
Exercise
A class, a lift, or a long run. One tap, and the distracting apps stay blocked until you tap back in.
Dumb phone
Some days you want the lot gone. Block every app you can, and all that is left is what your iPhone will not let anything block.
Just an example. You pick the apps and name the mode yourself, kip never picks for you.
