What it does

Every screen-time app fails for the same reason: you have to turn it on and at 1am, you won't. HyperSleep flips it. Your social apps stay locked until multi-sensor detection verifies you actually slept. It auto-starts at bedtime, runs 100% on-device, and turns "scroll less" from willpower into an outcome you earn. Android. 📺 As seen on WEAR News (ABC 3)

The Android app that keeps social media locked until its sensors verify you actually slept. Sleep more. Scroll less. Try it free for 5 days on Google Play.

HyperSleep blocks your social media apps until you've actually slept. No willpower needed. Just earn your scroll time by sleeping. Other apps set timers. HyperSleep verifies you actually slept before unlocking your most distracting apps. Apps only unlock after verified sleep. No cheating, no bypassing. Your sleep is the key. Google Sleep API, motion, ambient light, and phone-usage signals are cross-referenced in real time. No single sensor can fake sleep. Choose which apps to block. HyperSleep overlays a gentle lock screen. It doesn't force-close anything. Set your bedtime, choose active days, or start manually. HyperSleep adapts to your routine. You earn access by sleeping well. Positive…from hypersleep.app

    Hi HN, I’ve tried dozens of reminder and habit apps over the years. They’re all polite. Gentle. Easy to ignore. So I built something intentionally different.

This is not for everyone. Some people hate it. Some people love it. I’m genuinely curious where HN stands on this tradeoff: comfort vs. effectiveness. Happy to answer questions about: –…

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
