Block social media until you've actually slept

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.

Nice idea! Does it connect to smartwatches as well?
HyperSleep
@kate_ramakaieva Thank you Kate🙏 Not yet. And that's by design for v1: HyperSleep runs entirely on your phone's own sensors (Sleep API + motion + light + usage), so it works for everyone with zero extra hardware. No watch to buy or keep charged.
That said, native Wear OS / smartwatch support is firmly on the roadmap — a watch's heart-rate and movement data would make the sleep verification even tighter, so it's a natural next layer.
Out of curiosity, what watch are you on? Helps me figure out which to prioritize 🙂
Genuinely curious about the positioning here. Most phones already ship a native bedtime/wind-down mode that locks apps or greys the screen on a schedule, so I'm trying to pin down what HyperSleep adds on top. Is the whole bet the outcome-based unlock, ie. you can't just wait out a timer or tap "ignore," you actually have to have slept? Because if so, that's the part worth leading with, not the "auto-starts at bedtime" angle which the OS already does.
Where I get stuck is the willpower point: the person who taps "ignore" on Instagram at 2am is also the person who'll uninstall the app at 2am. So who is this really for, the motivated user who'd configure native Focus mode anyway, or someone else? Help me understand the gap native modes leave open :)

@harini_mukesh Haha, the fact that you're discovering a sleep app while scrolling Product Hunt past bedtime might be the most on-brand thing all launch 😅 You're exactly who I built this for.
Thank you for the kind words 🙏 iOS isn't here yet (Android first for now), but it's firmly on the roadmap and I'd love to have you try it. Want me to ping you the second it lands?
Also, a big update is dropping very soon with more features on the way, so it only gets better from here. Would love your honest take once you're in.

Something I didn't emphasize enough above 👇
Every other blocker has the same flaw: it needs you to show up at the exact moment you're least able to: 1am, tired, already three reels deep. You have to choose to stop, right when choosing is hardest.
So I took the human out of the loop.
You set your HyperSleep bedtime once. That's the only decision you make. After that:
🌙 It starts itself. Every night, no reminder, no tapping "start"
🔒 Your apps lock on schedule whether you feel like it or not
☀️ They unlock in the morning, but only once you've actually slept
No willpower. No human interruption. You set it, you forget it and you stop fighting yourself at midnight, because you already won that fight at 9pm.
Honest question: how many screen-time apps have you downloaded… and then never opened again? 😅
@hypersleep I like that this ties app blocking to an actual behavior goal instead of just “be more productive.” Blocking social media is easy to ignore, but connecting it to sleep makes the boundary feel more meaningful.
HyperSleep
@alpertayfurr Exactly this. You put it better than I usually do 🙏
"Be more productive" is too abstract to lose to at 1am. Sleep is concrete: you either hit your hours or you didn't, no negotiating with yourself. And it's a goal you already want; the app isn't imposing some new discipline, it's enforcing the one you'd choose anyway when you're rested enough to think straight.
It's also why I dodged the guilt angle most blockers lean on. Not "you're weak, scroll less". It's "sleep, and your apps are right there waiting." A reward you walk toward, not a punishment you endure.
Genuine question: do you think the boundary would feel just as meaningful tied to other behaviors someday (a workout, a morning routine), or does sleep hit different because it's the one we all quietly fail at?

This is such a relatable problem 😅. So many of us set screen time limits with good intentions, only to ignore them when bedtime actually comes around.
I really like the idea of focusing on the outcome rather than the timer. "Earn your scroll by sleeping" is a clever concept and feels different from most screen-time apps I've seen.
The fact that everything runs locally is a huge plus as well.
HyperSleep
@gabriella_anjani This honestly made my day 🙏 You just described exactly why I built it; I was the guy who'd set a "limit," tap "ignore," and resurface from Instagram at 2am wondering where the night went. The timer was never the problem. I was 😅. So, I built something I couldn't argue with.
And local-first was non-negotiable: your sleep patterns are nobody's business but yours. No account, nothing leaves the phone.
Genuine question, since you resonate with it, what's your 1am app of choice? The one you know you should put down but somehow don't 😅
