HyperSleep

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 :)

Omg much needed product I feel… look at the time I am scrolling through product hunt 😅

All the best… launch soon in IOS to use and share my experience

Earn your scroll time by sleeping- that's a refreshing twist. Most blockers just guilt-trip you.Quick question: what happens if the sensors misread a sleepless night (insomnia, travel, etc.)? Does it have an emergency override, or am I locked out of my apps until the algorithm decides I slept?Love the privacy-first approach. No cloud, no account rare these days. Nice launch.

@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.

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 sleptNo 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? 😅

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.

Nice idea! Does it connect to smartwatches as well?

Congrats on the launch Roddy. I build in the recovery space for natural lifters and short sleep is the single biggest driver of bad training days I see, so turning screen time into something you earn by sleeping is a clever inversion of every blocker that relies on willpower. The multi sensor confidence approach is interesting. How does it handle shift workers and split sleepers whose night never looks like one clean block? Strong launch so far, well deserved.

How does it work? Do you have to put the phone on your bed?

The “earn your scroll” framing makes sense because willpower definitely fails at night. I’d trust it more if the app showed a simple reason for each unlock, like what signals it used to decide I actually slept.

Hey Roddy! I have seen a lot of apps like these. How's hyper sleep different?

What other features does it have apart from blocking at certain hours?

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Roddy, maker of HyperSleep.

I built this because every screen-time blocker I tried had the same fatal flaw: they rely on willpower. You set a limit, then tap "ignore" at midnight or never turn the thing on. I'd "decide" to sleep and somehow be 40 minutes into Instagram at 2am.

So I flipped it. HyperSleep keeps your chosen apps locked until you've actually slept; verified on-device with multi-sensor detection (Sleep API + accelerometer + light + usage, ~70% confidence over 20+ continuous minutes). You don't earn screen time with a timer. You earn it by sleeping.

🌙 It starts itself - set a bedtime once, it auto-begins nightly.
🔒 You can't cheat it - outcome-based, not a clock you wait out.
🔐 100% local - no account, no cloud, nothing leaves your phone.

Android-first (iOS on the roadmap), 5-day free trial. I'd love your feedback on the detection accuracy + the "earn your scroll" framing. What would make you trust an app to lock your phone until you sleep? 🙏
