I realized I was asking my daughter to put her phone away while mine was glued to my hand. StretchLock made me actually walk the talk.

Cutting my own screen time was the missing piece — my kids stopped arguing about theirs once they saw me change first.

what does StretchLock include?

StretchLock app screen showing locked apps and stretch schedule
  • Less doomscrolling and fewer mindless app opens

    The stretch step gives you a moment to notice you're reaching for your phone out of habit — and choose family time instead.

  • Lower average screen time

    Each locked app adds a short pause before it opens, so you get more present hours back in the evenings and weekends.

  • Sharper focus for work and study

    Fewer mid-task phone detours means more focus during work hours and more attention left over for your family after.

  • Better posture and less neck, shoulder, and eye strain

    The same stretches that cut your screen time also loosen the tension that builds up from hours on a phone.

  • Small movement streaks that feel like wins

    A quick stretch is an easy win you can feel good about — and a habit worth modeling for your kids.
