Upchin: Screen Time Control

Upchin is a highly customizable Screen Time control and app blocking system built around one simple idea: lasting change often means tackling the same problem from different angles. Motion Lock can step in automatically when you're walking. Delay Lock adds friction when scrolling starts taking over. Your own block-screen messages bring the right reminder into the moment — your words, not ours. Back IRL gives you immediate control when you want your phone quiet now. Weekly Schedule protects the parts of your day you want to keep screen-free. Control Screen Time, app use and social media your way — with your own rules, timing, app selection and messages. And Upchin goes beyond blocking. See your reclaimed time, track your progress, understand where your screen time goes, and discover what those hours become when you put them back into real life. Because reducing screen time is not the goal. Getting your time back is. SCREEN TIME CONTROL, YOUR WAY Motion Lock Automatically block distracting apps when real movement is detected, helping you keep your attention on what is around you. Delay Lock Add friction before blocking. Choose how long an app stays available before Upchin steps in — and how long the block lasts. Back IRL Start an immediate block in one tap when you want to disconnect now. Weekly Schedule Automatically block apps at the times that matter to you. Create different schedules for work, study, mornings, evenings or screen-free time. App Blocking Block individual apps, categories or larger selections using native Screen Time technology. Important Apps Keep essential apps accessible during a block through a controlled 120-second temporary access window. Express Widgets Start a block directly from your Home Screen or Lock Screen without opening Upchin. My Rules Create your own rules with different delays, block durations and app selections. From gentle friction to stronger blocking, choose the rule that fits the moment. MAKE THE BLOCK YOURS Your own block-screen messages Write up to 10 personal reminders. Upchin rotates your own words on the block screen — in your language, exactly as you wrote them. WEB PROTECTION Sensitive Website Protection Use built-in web restrictions to reduce access to sensitive websites in supported browsing contexts. Full Web Lock For stronger protection, block web access while keeping the websites you choose available. Browser Blocking Add third-party browsers to your blocked apps when you want the web completely out of the way.
