Delay Lock
A short block that starts when you have used an app too long — and ends on its own.

Four Ways to Block Distracting Apps
You do not always lose time on your phone the same way. Sometimes you know you should put it down. Other times you realise you have just spent twenty minutes scrolling without really deciding to.
Upchin lets you act in both situations.
When you decide to disconnect, the Express widget blocks the apps you chose, straight away. With Schedule, you can also protect your working hours, your evenings or any other moment that matters, ahead of time.
When you would rather automate, Delay Lock fires a block after a set amount of use. Motion lock steps in when movement is detected while the targeted apps are open.
You do not have to turn on all four. Pick the ones that match your habits and let Upchin handle the rest.
The point is not to lock your phone at any cost. It is to get time back for something else.
Motion Lock
Your blocked apps close once you have really moved — about five metres, confirmed, not a wobble.
Scheduled App Blocking
Draw the hours once — your apps close on their own, with a different list per slot.
Express Widget
One tap from the Home or Lock Screen starts a block — no app to open, no menu.
More Ways to Control and Understand Your Screen Time
Website Filtering
Blocking an app does not block its website. Two protections close that hole — one of them with a real cost.
Temporary App Unlock
Banking, 2FA, messages: a second button on the block screen opens them for two minutes, then the block returns.
Block Screen Messages
The screen you actually meet. It changes with the reason — and you can write its words yourself.
App Blocking Rules
A delay, a duration, a name. Quick friction, Pomodoro, or your own pair of numbers.
Screen Time Stats
The time you took back in the largest type. No red, and no day ever marked as a failure.
Apple Watch
Two cards, four complications, and a watch that would rather say nothing than show you yesterday’s number.
Screen Time Research Library
Forty-four sources with their references — and a plain statement of what the evidence cannot prove.
