JapaLock

Block Apps. Unlock by chanting.

JapaLock is a mindful app blocker that encourages you to pause and chant before using distracting apps.

If you often open social media or other apps automatically, JapaLock introduces a pause before access, helping you regain control and use your phone more intentionally.

Using Apple’s Screen Time APIs, JapaLock allows you to block selected apps and require a short mindful action before unlocking them.
