lumi - sleep lock & alarm
lock doomscroll at night. wakeup without snoozing your alarm
lumi blocks your doomscroll and makes sure you don't snooze through your alarm. at bedtime, lumi locks every distracting app on your phone: tiktok, instagram, games, until morning. its alarm won't stop until you prove you're actually awake: solve math problems. do pushups, jumping jacks, or squats. scan a barcode. no more doomscrolling into 2am. no more sleeping through your alarm.
we made lumi because we were tired of telling ourselves "just one more reel" and then realizing it was 1 AM.
at night, lumi locks distracting apps so we can't spend another hour doomscrolling. in the morning, it makes us earn our alarm by doing things like squats, push-ups, math problems, or other challenges instead of half-asleep tapping snooze.
the goal isn't to optimize sleep with complicated tracking.
it's just to make going to bed on time and getting out of bed feel a little less like fighting your own brain.
the barcode scan trick actually works, woke up my partner too which was a funny bonus. wish it had a softer wake-up sound before the chaos kicks in though.
the barcode scan trick is genuinely clever, such a simple way to force your brain out of sleep mode before the alarm shuts off. love how the whole thing feels designed around actually breaking habits instead of just nagging you about them.
love that it locks the apps at bedtime, actually had to put my phone across the room to cheat. the barcode scan is a fun touch, felt like a little victory scanning my shampoo bottle at 6am.
the barcode scan task is genius, i actually had to get up and walk to my kitchen which is the whole problem i have in the mornings. wish the lock screen showed what time it was though, kept unlocking just to check.
What happens if you need to use a locked app for something urgent at night, like a rideshare or two-factor login, is there a way to unlock it without disabling the whole lock?
love how the alarm demands proof you're actually awake instead of letting you tap snooze half-asleep. the barcode scan is such a smart move, way more effective than just shaking the phone.
Finally a lock screen that actually stopped my midnight TikTok spiral, and forcing myself to scan my coffee bag to shut the alarm off is annoyingly effective.
the barcode scan idea is genuinely clever, way more grounded than those shake-your-phone wake up tricks. feels like the team actually thought about real groggy mornings
love that the alarm actually makes you work for it instead of just tapping snooze five times, the barcode scan idea is genuinely clever for getting you out of bed and into the kitchen.
What happens if I genuinely need to use one of the locked apps in an emergency, like calling someone late at night?
the barcode scan trick is genius, actually had to get up and walk to the kitchen which fixed my snooze problem for good. wish it had a softer way to lock apps though, felt jarring the first night.
how does it actually lock the apps though, like is it accessibility permissions or a vpn thing? wondering how easy it is to just swipe into airplane mode and bypass everything
the barcode scan to turn off the alarm is actually genius, way better than my usual panic-swipe to dismiss. just wish the lock screen showed a softer color at night instead of the bright default.
