About this app

🌙 SLEEP GUARD - Protect Your Sleep from Late-Night Scrolling

Ever told yourself "just one more video" and suddenly it's 2 AM? You're not alone. Nightguard helps you break the bedtime scroll trap by adding a simple pause before opening distracting apps.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

HOW IT WORKS

1. Set your sleep schedule (e.g., 11 PM - 7 AM)
2. Choose which apps to lock (social media, videos, games)
3. When you try to open a locked app during sleep hours, a cooldown screen appears
4. Wait a few seconds, then decide: continue scrolling or go to sleep?

That small pause is often all you need to make a better choice.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

• People who lose sleep to "just one more episode"
• Anyone trying to reduce screen time before bed
• Night owls who want to fix their sleep schedule
• Those who struggle with impulse control (including ADHD)
• Anyone who's tired of waking up exhausted

WHY NIGHTGUARD?

Unlike screen time trackers that shame you with reports AFTER you've already scrolled for hours, Nightguard intervenes at the moment of temptation—right when you reach for that app.

We don't block apps completely. We just add a small speed bump that helps you make conscious choices instead of acting on autopilot.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED

NOTES ON ADHD MENTION
================================================================================

Decision: Include ADHD as a secondary mention, not primary focus.

Reasoning:
1. Keeps the app appealing to a broader audience
2. ADHD users will find it through keywords and the mention in "Who is this for?"
3. Avoids making non-ADHD users feel the app isn't for them
4. No medical claims that could cause compliance issues
5. The phrase "struggle with impulse control (including ADHD)" is inclusive and accurate

The app's core design IS ADHD-friendly (intervention at moment of temptation, not after-the-fact reports), but we don't need to label it as an "ADHD app" to serve that community well.
