Lapse: Walk to Unlock Apps

Sohneg

About this app

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.
