Lapse: Walk to Unlock Apps

Lapse helps you become aware of how much time you spend on apps like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or any app you choose.

When you open a monitored app, a small floating timer appears on screen — showing you exactly how long you've been scrolling. It's a gentle, non-intrusive reminder to stay mindful of your screen time.

HOW IT WORKS
• Choose which apps to monitor
• Open any of those apps and a floating timer automatically appears
• Leave the app and the timer disappears
• Check your daily and weekly screen time history

FEATURES
• Floating timer overlay — minimal, draggable, always visible
• Automatic app detection — timer starts and stops on its own
• Pulse alerts — the timer pulses every few minutes to grab your attention
• Color warnings — timer changes color after customizable time thresholds
• Daily or session timer mode — track per session or accumulated daily time
• Full customization — change timer color, background, size, and position
• Screen time history — see your usage per app, per day
• No ads, no tracking, no data collection — your data stays on your device

WHY LAPSE?
Most screen time tools just show you a report after the fact. Lapse is different — it shows you a timer in real time, right on top of the app you're using. That small visual cue makes a big difference in building awareness.

Lapse doesn't block or restrict anything. It simply makes the invisible visible.

PERMISSIONS
• Display over other apps — to show the floating timer
