Hey Product Hunt 👋 I did not want another app that shames me for opening Instagram. I wanted a small pause between the reach and the scroll, and something that made me feel a little better instead of guilty. So the key to your apps became a smile. Pick the apps you overscroll with Apple's Screen Time picker. When you open one, Smile to Unlock asks for a quick smile break. The front camera looks for a natural smile, no big grin needed, and it all happens on your iPhone. No photo is uploaded, ever. Smile photos are optional and off by default. After a smile the app stays open for an honest window, about 15 minutes free, longer with Premium, then it asks again. A daily goal ring and streaks turn skipped scrolls into something you can watch grow. And there is always a hold-to-unlock fallback for accessibility or when the camera is busy. No account, no ads, fully offline. Free protects two apps. Curious whether a smile actually changes the moment for you the way it did for me. Let me know. 😊
