## Description

Put a lock on your most distracting apps. Write a few lines to open them, keep a daily streak, and scroll a lot less.

Your phone opens a hundred times a day. Most of those opens end in the same scroll.

Journal Lock puts a lock on your most distracting apps and hands you the key only after you write. A few lines in the morning, a page before bed, whatever the day needs. Finish your entry and your apps open. Skip it and they stay shut.

It turns the urge to grab your phone into a moment to check in with yourself instead. Over a week you scroll less. Over a month you have a real writing habit and a streak you will not want to break.

Built for people who want their attention back:

Block the apps that pull you in, on your terms
Write to earn your screen time instead of losing it
Keep a daily streak that makes the habit stick
Watch your focus grow as the doomscrolling fades

No guilt, no lectures. A small daily trade that adds up.

Start writing. Stop scrolling.

Watch your streak grow day by day. Your mascot companion grows with you — journal daily to keep it thriving, miss a day and it starts to shrink. It's a small thing, but it works.

- Daily streak tracking with milestone celebrations
- Personalized journal prompts that evolve with you
- Mood and alignment check-ins to track how you feel over time
- Home screen widget showing your latest entry

THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT

Neuroscientists call it "affect labeling" — when you write about your emotions, your brain's stress center literally calms down. Studies show consistent journaling reduces anxiety, improves focus, and builds emotional resilience. Journal Lock just makes sure you actually do it.

YOUR JOURNAL, YOUR PRIVACY

All entries are stored locally on your device. No cloud uploads, no data mining, no ads. Your thoughts stay yours.
