Three things every other blocker gets wrong.

Most apps are punitive, blunt, or guess wrong. Malko is built around the moments light sleepers actually live in.

It knows when you're really awake

Light, posture, and steps tell Malko when you're up making coffee — and when you're horizontal scrolling. Effortless when you're up. Naturally resistant when you're not.

3 strikes, then the gentle nudge becomes a wall

Malko trusts you on strike one. Asks you again on strike two. By strike three, it holds the line. Warm at first. Firm when it has to be.

A Dream Journal that connects last night's wake-ups to how you slept

Three wake-ups, four-out-of-ten sleep — the pattern shows itself. Not a logger. A correlation engine for your nights.

Plus: wind-down rituals, app blocking, timed activities, morning reflection.

If any of those felt familiar — you're who Malko's for.

Set it once. Sleep better every night.

Malko runs automatically during your sleep window — so when you wake up and reach for your phone, it's already protecting you.

Wake up? Malko intercepts.

You reach for your phone at 3am — but instead of Twitter or Reddit, Malko shows you timed breathing, meditation, or a calming read.

The timed activities are designed to wind you down, not keep you up. Most people drift off before the timer ends.
