8:30 PM
Your bedroom · two drinks from now
Set it sober.
Pick when the lock ends and who your buddy is. Once it starts, you can't turn it off.
The bar bathroom · six drinks in
i miss u. can we talk
This one doesn't get sent.
Messages, Instagram, Snapchat and FaceTime stay shut. Where the send button would be, there's one that calls your buddy.
Outside · time to go home
The way home stays open.
Uber, Lyft and calls to your chosen people never lock. On iPhone the Phone app stays open too, because Apple doesn't let any app block it. On Android it locks.
Across town · Jordan is sober
Want out early? Ask Jordan.
Your buddy holds the only key. They get the request. They know you, and they know what time it is.
Your bed · lock's off
Nothing to apologize for.
The lock lifts on its own. You get your phone back, and your dignity never left.
