LockPact: Screen Time Pact

Your partner holds the key. Lock your apps together — only your partner can approve unlocking. No subscriptions. Actually free.

Your partner holds the key. LockPact pairs you with someone you trust for mutual screen time accountability. You both choose which apps to lock on your own device. Only your partner can approve unlocking. Free.

HOW IT WORKS Pair with a friend, partner, or roommate using a 6-digit code Each of you selects which apps to lock on your own device When you need access, send an unlock request — your partner approves or declines That's it. No subscriptions, no surveillance, no complicated setup.

WHY IT WORKS Willpower runs out. Accountability doesn't. Every solo app blocker eventually fails — because you're the one who can turn it off. LockPact is different: your locked apps need your partner's approval to open. That one moment of friction changes everything. And yes — bypass is still possible. Apple makes bulletproof locking impossible on iOS. We're honest about that. But when you bypass LockPact, your partner gets notified. Bypassing isn't silent anymore. It's embarrassing. That's the point.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Mutual — you lock each other's apps, not just your own • Honest — no false promises about "bulletproof" blocking • Actually free — core accountability features cost nothing, forever • Private — your screen time data never leaves your device

Every other app blocker is you vs. yourself. LockPact makes screen time a pact between two people.

WHAT'S FREE Everything that matters for accountability: • Pair with a partner via 6-digit invite code • Select apps to lock on your own device • Send and receive unlock requests • Get notified when your partner bypasses • Solo lock timer (for solo practice before pairing)

No subscription. No paywall on core features. One optional ad plays before an unlock request is sent — that friction is the whole product.

PRIVACY Your screen time data never leaves your device. LockPact only syncs lock status and unlock requests — never which apps you use, when you use them, or how long. Screen Time API data is processed on-device only, as required by Apple. Built for adults who want to spend less time on their phones — together.
