A small cube, 48 millimetres across, with a chip inside. You tap your iPhone on it and the apps on your list go quiet. You tap again and they come back. That is the whole product.
To keep the phone out of the way, you would stack several things, each doing a part of the job. One tap on the cube covers what they were each trying to do:
Screen Time limits
App timers
Deleting the apps
A lockbox for the phone
A second, simpler phone
An app can be closed by the same thumb it is trying to stop. Research on self-control finds that changing the situation works better than resisting it each time, because resisting costs effort every single time. The cube moves the way out into the room: to open your apps again, you walk to where you left it.

WHAT WE MEASURE
The app keeps the count: how long the Qube stayed on, evening after evening. What you get back stops being an impression.
X out of 10 people in the survey say the evening came back.
X people, X days. Figures to be filled once the survey is in.
One cube, the app included, nothing to renew.
The apps on your list go quiet on one tap.
The app is included, and it is yours to keep.
No battery, no charging, no account to renew.

Works with iPhone
You choose your apps once, in the app. The cube applies that choice, every time.
There is no battery inside. It takes what it needs from the phone at the moment you tap, and nothing else. Leave it on a shelf for a year and it still works.
The lock lives on the iPhone. No network and no account are needed to tap in.
Five emergency unlocks, told to you on day one. They do not refill, which is what makes them mean something.
It is free for anyone who owns a Qube. You sign in with the email from your order.
iOS 17 and up, so iPhone XS, XR and newer. An Android version is in development.
