We care about developer productivity. But who cares if developers actually sleep?

We optimize everything.

Faster builds.
Better AI coding tools.
More productive workflows.
More commits.
More shipping.

But there’s one thing the developer ecosystem seems pretty good at ignoring:

Developers need to sleep.

You tell yourself:

“I’ll fix one last bug.”

Then it becomes another feature.

Then you check X, Reddit, GitHub, or YouTube for “five minutes.”

Suddenly it’s 2:30 AM.

A normal bedtime reminder doesn’t solve this.

You swipe it away.

That’s why I built SleepLock: Must-Sleep Alarm.

The idea is deliberately simple:

When bedtime arrives, SleepLock doesn’t consider the job finished just because you dismissed an alarm.

You have to put your iPhone face down for a few continuous seconds.

Phone down = day over.

It can also require the phone to be connected to power, turning bedtime into a tiny ritual:

Plug in → Face down → Stop scrolling → Sleep.

No complicated sleep dashboard.
No productivity guilt.
Just one job:

Get you to finally put the damn phone down.

We’ve built countless tools to help developers work longer, faster, and harder.

Maybe it’s time we also cared about helping developers stop working and protect their health.

If you want to do something small for your health tonight, give SleepLock a try.

And if it genuinely helps you sleep earlier, I’d really appreciate an App Store review.
Your feedback also helps me figure out what SleepLock should become next.

What keeps you awake more often — coding, scrolling, or thinking about the thing you’re building?
