  "account": "A developer, Ayumu Kitabayashi, has created an app called minulo that allows users to lock or hide certain social media apps, such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, at specific times. The app offers a free version that allows users to block apps for up to 2 hours at a time, while a Pro version offers more features, including automatic blocking at set times and a \"hard mode\". Minulo is available for iPhone, with a Mac version also available, but an Android version is not yet out.",
  "summary": "The article provides a guide on how to automatically block Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube on an iPhone using the app Minulo, allowing users to sleep through the night. The process involves setting up downtime in the iPhone's settings and selecting the apps to be blocked. The free version of Minulo allows blocking for up to 2 hours at a time, while the Pro version offers longer blocking periods and the ability to set specific daily schedules. However, the limitation is that all blocked apps are completely inaccessible, including Instagram DMs. The article also mentions an alternative feature called \"focus mode,\" which allows users to focus on sleep based on their sleep schedule, but does not mention the ability to block notifications.",
