App blocker FAQ
What is StretchLock's app blocker?
StretchLock is an iPhone app blocker that puts a 20-second stretch in front of your most distracting apps. Instead of opening on autopilot, you move first — then decide whether you still want to scroll.
Which apps can I block?
Lock any app you open too often — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, and more — and leave the rest untouched. You choose which apps get the stretch gate.
Which use case should I start with?
Pick whichever page above sounds most like your day. Every use case runs on the same app blocker; the pages just frame it around the habit you most want to change.
Is it a hard block?
No. StretchLock is a gentle pause, not a lockout. You finish a short stretch to unlock — for most people the pause alone is enough to break the mindless scroll.
Is there a free version?
Yes. Everyone starts on Free with a limited number of stretch unlocks. Upgrade later only if it changes how you use your phone.
