Locklandia: App Blocker

Locklandia gamifies locking in. Block the apps you keep opening without meaning to, focus with friends, and turn every protected minute into shared progress. Blocking is free, and it stays free.

Pick your distracting apps, start a focus session, and lock in alone or with friends. If you try to leave early, your stop rule decides what happens next.

HOW LOCKLANDIA USES THE ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE

Locklandia uses Android's AccessibilityService API to block the apps you choose. This is the core feature of the app: without it, Locklandia cannot block anything.

• What it does: while a focus session you started is running, it notices which app has just come to the front. If it is one of the apps you chose to block, Locklandia covers it with a full-screen "blocked" screen.
• What it reads: only the name of the app in front (window-change events). It cannot read what is on your screen, what you type, your messages or passwords.
• What it never does: it does not collect, store or send any screen content or personal data, it does not tap, swipe or act for you, and it does not change your settings.
• Your choice: Locklandia explains this and asks before sending you to Android's Accessibility settings, where you turn it on yourself. You can turn it off, or uninstall Locklandia, at any time. Phone, emergency and home screen apps always stay available.

Locklandia is not an accessibility tool for people with disabilities; it uses this API only to make app blocking work.

MAKE FOCUS A TEAM SPORT

See when friends are focused and join them. Run rounds of focus and breaks with a group. Build streaks and compete for Mayor of Locklandia on a weekly leaderboard without sharing which apps you blocked or what you were working on.

CHOOSE HOW HARD IT IS TO STOP

You choose how hard it is to stop early:

• Stop anytime: one tap, for the first week
• Write why: you have to type the real reason first
• Ask someone: a person you trust holds a code that changes every thirty seconds. The only way out early is to ring them and ask.
• Tap the card: an NFC card you leave in another room

Trusted exits are optional. They add accountability when you want it; friends, group rounds, streaks, and the leaderboard still work as social motivation.

WHAT'S FREE

Everything that runs on your phone: unlimited setups, every strictness level, keyholders, schedules, card pairing and your whole history. No trial, no expiry.

LOCKLANDIA PLUS (optional)

Only the parts that need a server we run for you: live approvals from more than one partner, private groups, shared weekly goals, reports, and account sync. Friends can join a group without buying Plus.

HONESTLY

Locklandia adds friction. It does not make your phone impossible to use. You can turn off its Accessibility access or uninstall the app whenever you like, and nothing here stops that. What stops you is that the card is in the other room. Locklandia is not a medical device and is not treatment for any condition.
