For those with weak willpower, there’s Kitchen Safe. It’s a sturdy container with a built-in timer. “Once the timer is set, and the button is pressed, the safe will remain locked until the timer reaches zero.” Dieters use it to store their favorite snacks to curb late-night munching. People trying to cut back on smoking keep a secret stash in there. And some parents can fit a video game joystick in there, too. Or if you just can’t keep yourself from checking your phone after hours, you can force yourself by putting in a Kitchen Safe.

Kitchen Safe is no joke. On the website, the company claims Kitchen Safe is backed by research from the ivy-est of the Ivy Leagues (Princeton, Harvard, Yale). They come in a variety of lid colors.
