My screen time report used to make me cringe every Sunday. It's dropped almost 40% since I started using StretchLock.

I stopped treating 'just checking' as harmless. The stretch reminds me how often I actually open my phone.

what does StretchLock include?

StretchLock app screen showing locked apps and stretch schedule
  • Lower average screen time

    Every locked app adds a short pause before it opens, so the extra minutes you'd lose to autopilot scrolling add up to real time back by the end of the week.

  • Less doomscrolling and fewer mindless app opens

    The stretch step gives you a moment to notice you're reaching for the app out of habit — and choose — before the feed pulls you in.

  • Sharper focus for work and study

    Interrupting the automatic app-open habit means fewer mid-task detours into the feed, so focus blocks stay intact longer.

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

    The same stretches that unlock your apps also loosen the tension that builds up from hours of screen time.

  • Small movement streaks that feel like wins

    Every stretch is a small win added to a streak, so cutting screen time feels like progress, not deprivation.
