Getting Started with TimeOut
1. Download & Setup
- • Download TimeOut from the App Store
- • Grant necessary permissions for app monitoring
- • Connect your Health app for exercise tracking
2. Create Your First Lock
- • Choose apps you want to limit (social media, games, etc.)
- • Set a realistic exercise goal (start with 5,000 steps)
- • Activate your lock and start moving!
💡 Pro Tip
Start with just one or two apps and a modest step goal. As you build the habit, you can gradually increase your goals and add more apps to your locks.
Best Practices for Success
Setting Effective Goals
- ✓ Start small and build gradually

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✗ Setting unrealistic step goals from day one
- ✗ Locking too many apps at once
- ✗ Ignoring your progress reports
📊 Track Your Progress
Use TimeOut's built-in reports to see how you're improving over time. Celebrate small wins and adjust your strategy based on what's working.
🎯 Stay Consistent
Consistency beats intensity. It's better to hit a smaller goal every day than to set a huge goal you can only achieve occasionally.
