Hey Product Hunters! We built 4rem to solve a problem - to help us cut screen time out of bedtime. Screen time limits are too easy to override, and we needed our phones for what it’s useful for - keeping time, wake up alarms, and the occasional emergency call or text (if you’re a parent, you know). So, 4rem was born!

Massive congrats to the 4rem team on today's launch! I love how you're tackling bedtime doomscrolling with a clever combo of an app and physical lock. Here's a quirky question to test your problem-solving skills: If I apply the same 'easurement' logic to screen time, how would 4rem help me 'easure out' just 30 minutes of social media use before auto-locking the rest of the night?
Pretty neat! What's the process for unlocking in case you really need access for something?
Bedtime doomscrolling is my worst habit. 4rem sounds like the perfect tool to keep my phone nearby but off-limits when I need sleep.
I can see this being super helpful for me that I struggles with getting off my devices.
Upvoted! It's rare for a hardware product to launch on Product Hunt. Congratulations on the successful release! Can 4rem allow custom lock times for each application, or can it only set a unified lock time for all apps?
