faq
questions before you download.
Here is what StretchLock does, how it works, and how it fits into normal phone use.
how is this different from app blockers?
Hard blockers just lock you out, so you fight them and switch them off. StretchLock adds a 20-second stretch before a distracting app opens — a gentle pause that keeps the choice yours and gives you back time and focus instead of a wall.
Choose the apps you want to lock. When you open one, StretchLock shows a quick guided stretch. Finish the stretch and the app opens normally.
You can lock apps like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, games, or any app you open too often. You stay in control of the list.
Most stretches take about 20 to 30 seconds. They are simple neck, shoulder, wrist, eye, back, or posture resets you can do anywhere.
You can set exceptions for important apps like calls, maps, or work tools. The goal is to interrupt distracting apps, not to block your life.
You can choose gentle, seated, or low-movement stretches. Skip anything that does not feel right for your body, and check with a professional if you are recovering from an injury.
Yes. The free plan gives you a limited number of stretch unlocks each day so you can build the habit before upgrading.
Most blockers cut you off completely, which is easy to bypass or disable. StretchLock still lets you open the app, but only after a short healthy pause that adds movement instead of friction.
Yes. StretchLock is built for both iOS and Android, with setup instructions inside the app.
