LUP App focuses on bringing accessibility to any type of everyday document. LUP, OUR MISSION We want reading to stop being an obstacle in the daily lives of people, betting on accessibility, inclusion, providing autonomy and avoiding school failure, among others.

Most focus apps feel like a strict boss standing over your shoulder. Handover is different. It doesn't lock your phone and throw away the key. It adds a small, deliberate cost to your biggest distractions. You are always in control. If you really need to get into an app, you can. It just costs you a bit of the streak you have been building. That one shift changes why you reach for your phone in the first place. SETTING UP A RULE TAKES FOUR CHOICES Choose what to block. Specific apps, or whole categories at once. Choose how to block. A total daily limit, a session length, or block them outright. Choose when it runs. On a schedule, when you arrive somewhere, or after a burst of heavy phone use. Choose your way back in. Earn it with a set number of steps, with quick reps the phone counts for you, by scanning a barcode you keep somewhere out of reach, with a breathing break, or with a short meditation. THE EXIT DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN Life happens. You are never truly locked out, and the essentials are never blocked: Calls, Messages, Maps, Camera and Wallet. Break Glass. Need in? Wait five minutes and it costs five minutes of your streak. Emergency Coupon. A real emergency? Use it any time, on anything. A rigid wall gets bypassed by lunchtime. A small, fair cost actually changes your habits. WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING A streak on your home screen that grows every day you stay on track. Themes that unlock as it grows, from sleek Steel on day one to Gold at day 14. Credits every time you move, breathe or meditate. Spend them on themes and new exercises. A referral code worth 1,000 credits to you and 1,000 to every friend who joins with it. PICK THE PLAN THAT FITS YOU Handover Free Up to 5 active rules. Core blocks and daily time budgets. Scheduled blocking periods. Break Glass on every rule. Handover Plus Unlimited rules and every block type unlocked. Triggers for a place you arrive at and for heavy use. Movement and step challenges as your way back in. Every theme, deep statistics and your full history. Individual, or a Family plan covering up to 6 people, each with their own rules, settings and streak. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Privacy comes first. Handover is built directly on Apple's Screen Time framework, which means the app never sees which apps you use or how long you use them, and none of that ever leaves your device. Only your account, your rules and your credits sync, so you keep your progress when you change phones. Handover is proudly built by Casebuddy Pty Ltd in Australia.
