About

Once it’s set, the kSafe locking timed container will not reopen until the timer hits zero. The timed safe can be set up to 10 days and is your external motivation to cut back on your addictions and build habits to live a happier life. · COMBAT ADDICTION: Over 21 million Americans deal with at least one addiction, and the average person spends upwards of 5 hours a day on their phone. Whether it’s your phone, cigarettes, pills, or other illicit substance, the kSafe timed locking feature helps you overcome bad habits by helping you develop the willpower to fight temptation.
