“I used to lose whole evenings to TikTok. The stretch pause is just enough to make me put the phone down and get back to studying.”

what does StretchLock include?
Less doomscrolling and fewer mindless app opens
Every time you reach for Instagram or TikTok out of habit, the stretch step gives you a moment to notice — and choose — before the feed pulls you in.
Reduced screen time across the day and week
Each locked app adds a short pause before it opens, so the minutes you'd lose to autopilot scrolling add up to real time back by the end of the week.
More movement built into your phone habits
Neck, shoulder, wrist, eye, and back stretches turn phone pickups — something you already do dozens of times a day — into small, repeated movement breaks.
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 tech-neck as a bonus
The same stretches that unlock your apps also loosen the neck and shoulder tension that builds up from looking down at your phone all day.
