Every screen-time app fails for the same reason: you have to turn it on and at 1am, you won't. HyperSleep flips it. Your social apps stay locked until multi-sensor detection verifies you actually slept. It auto-starts at bedtime, runs 100% on-device, and turns "scroll less" from willpower into an outcome you earn. Android. 📺 As seen on WEAR News (ABC 3)

Could you build this?
Partial Building a standard Android app is straightforward, but orchestrating low-level background services, strict AppLock permissions, and cross-sensor sleep detection heuristics on Android is finicky and platform-restricted.
What it would actually take: The app needs a native Android implementation (Kotlin) employing the Google Sleep API, Activity Recognition API, AccessibilityService, and DevicePolicyManager/UsageStatsManager to maintain tamper-resistant app blocking. The hard part is reliable background execution across aggressive OEM battery-saving kills (e.g., Xiaomi, Samsung) while combining light sensors and accelerometer signals locally without draining battery. This requires native Android systems expertise and knowledge of internal OS permission constraints.
