4rem is an iOS app and physical lock to help you stop doomscrolling at bedtime. Select your most addicting apps, schedule recurring times to lock your phone or lock on demand and keep your phone nearby as your clock and morning alarm.
Hey Product Hunters! We built 4rem to solve a problem - to help us cut screen time out of bedtime. Screen time limits are too easy to override, and we needed our phones for what it’s useful for - keeping time, wake up alarms, and the occasional emergency call or text (if you’re a parent, you know). So, 4rem was born!

Pretty neat! What's the process for unlocking in case you really need access for something?
@jason_lt I keep my lock downstairs in my kitchen, so if I *really* need to unlock my phone sometime at night, I always can. But the friction of having to get out of bed, go downstairs has really has helped create the behavioral change I was hoping for.

Massive congrats to the 4rem team on today's launch! I love how you're tackling bedtime doomscrolling with a clever combo of an app and physical lock. Here's a quirky question to test your problem-solving skills: If I apply the same 'easurement' logic to screen time, how would 4rem help me 'easure out' just 30 minutes of social media use before auto-locking the rest of the night?
