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 • Accessibility Service — to detect which app is in the foreground All data is stored locally. Nothing is sent to any server.
